Is it possible to synchronize videos running in a WPF application on two or more computers? Synchronizing multiple videos running on the same computer seems to work well using the ParallelTimeline and MediaTimelines classes for each video instance, but I don’t know how to do this on different computers, which, if possible, will allow some incredible multi-screen settings to be used.
So, for all those WPF gurus, what do you think? Can this work with WPF or do I need to go back to DirectShow? Some pointers on how to do this will also be enjoyable.

There seems to be some confusion regarding my question, so let me clarify. I’m thinking about the possibility of creating a large multi-screen video installation of, say, 8 or more screens. Each screen plays a full HD (minimum 720p) video image with a single display, in this case a video wall with a resolution of 10 240 x 5760. Of course, all videos must be synchronized. Playing all 8 HD videos from one computer (even if the computer was capable) implies a heavy load on hardware, hard drives, memory, graphics cards, etc. On the other hand, if you were able to connect 8 computers with TCP, each of which is responsible for playing its own video with clock synchronization with the main computer, you could create some really cool things with great flexibility.I have seen similar installations done with Max / Jitter. But I don't like the Max / Jitter paradigm, I like WPF better and wandered around if I could build something like this.
