Zach here (responding to the digest so apologies if I missed some of the
newer emails). 

My MultiScreener software hasn't been updated in awhile, but seems to
work fine on the machines I've tested recently. I would recommend it for
people who already have a bunch of computers. However it's much easier
and more reliable to use a BrightSign HD222 or older HD220 player for
each channel (About $300-$350 each). They play directly from SD cards
using a simple text script for setup. No daily startup/shutdown rituals
required and no risk of some stupid MacOS software update notice
appearing in the middle of your show! 

Feel free to try MultiScreener. There is a guide on the site with full
setup details. You can run multiple channels on one computer. It's
clumsy but it has worked well in practice. I modern Mac Mini would
probably keep 2x 1080p videos in sync, but test everything to find out.
I listed lots of similar software on the Multiscreener page. 

Summary: If you have a budget I'd go for a fleet of BrightSigns.

(One note: There are some Applescripts in the MultiScreener download
that were compiled in the Pre-Intel Mac days, so they need to be opened
in Script Editor and re-saved.)
