o offset: The offset (in pixels) of the display in the multiscreen array. For example, using an offset of
1920 in a two-screen array of 1920x1080 screens would specify this player as the right-hand (master)
display.
o size: The total width (in pixels) of the multiscreen array. For example, defining a size of 3840 would
specify a two-screen array of 1920x1080 screens.
o ip_address: A string specifying the multicast IP address for the PTP synchronization process (e.g.
"239.192.0.0")
o port: A string specifying the multicast port for the PTP synchronization process (e.g. "1234").
Note: Players can support more than one multiscreen ticker at a time.
