Master and Playback Modes

In order to synchronize Master Audience.foundation systems and playbacks, Audience.sync runs in two different modes: Master Mode and (Remote) Playback Mode.

  • Master Mode is used on the master Audience.foundation system.
  • Playback Mode is used on one or more playback system(s).

Once Audience.sync is configured, remote playback systems ‘pull’ content from their corresponding playback on the master Audience.foundation system. This works over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet.

For a third mode that combines the two, see Gather Server Mode.
