Synchronous Shows
The Synchronous Shows feature of PowerShow
enables slide shows to run on multiple monitors synchronized with each
other. Among other things, this allows for the same content to be presented
in multiple languages at the same time. The Synchronous Shows feature works
as follows:
- A SyncShow group needs to be created. A SyncShow group has all the
slide shows that are supposed to be synchronized with each other.
- A SyncGroup has one master show. All other slide shows
follow the master slide show. When the master slide show changes
slides or does animation builds, the other slide shows follow. The
coordinator slide show can have timed animations and slide transitions.
The other slide shows should to be configured to advance manually.
- PowerShow supports multiple SyncGroups in the same PowerShow session.
This allows for unrelated sets of slide shows to get executed. Each
SyncGroup is synchronized within itself.
The Prepare Sync Show dialog box helps you create the SyncShow groups.
Use the following steps:
- Select Slide Show | Prepare Sync Show... menu item.

- Select the master presentation from the drop down box.
- In the second list box, select the follower slide shows that should be
synchronized with the coordinator slide show.
- Click OK.
- This would create a SyncShow group with the selected coordinator and
the coordinated slide shows forming the group. The coordinated slide shows
will be setup to advance manually under PowerShow control.
- You can repeat steps 1 to 4 for creating other groups. A presentation
can be part of only one SyncShow group. A SyncShow group can have only one
coordinator.
When you are done creating the SyncShow groups, you can:
- Start the PowerShow session as you would do normally. PowerShow will recognize these
groups and would keep the slide shows in sync with each other.
- Start the TickerShow session as you would do normally. The
TickerShow feature will recognize these groups and would keep the slide
shows in sync with each other.
Some
points to note:
- The follower slide shows should not have timed animation
builds. The master slide show can have timed animation builds.
- The follower slide shows should not have timed
transitions. The master slide show can have timed transitions.
To turn OFF timed animations and transitions in coordinated slide shows,
perform the following steps in each follower slide show:
- Select Slide Show | Set Up Show... menu item.
- Select Manually in Advance slides box.
- Click OK.
- Interactive animation sequences are not supported.
