Designing a multi channel video sync player

Hello,

I greatly appreciate Maxers' advice and help in building patches. This is one of the reasons why Max/MSP is my first choice when it comes to designing an interface for my needs.

I would like to design a patch for playing 10-channel HD videos in sync. Additionally, I would appreciate your suggestions on the hardware requirements for this setup.

I am creating this patch for someone who prefers to control and manage it remotely, without requiring extensive knowledge of digital equipment. Therefore, an ideal solution for my needs would be a Max patch with a graphical user interface (GUI) that automatically loads on computer startup and plays videos synchronously. Each of the 10 HD video files will be projected using a separate projector.

I am considering using one computer to handle all 10 video channels. My question is whether this would be too demanding for a recent version of a Mac computer (e.g., Mac Studio), or if it would be better to use two wired Mac computers, with each handling 5 video channels.

What is the most efficient way to build a patch like this, and what are the hardware requirements for a 10-channel video extender, splitter, and distributor?

Please let me know if you have any further questions or need additional information.

Thanks in advance.
