3.5.1 Rendezvous Points and the Advance To Command
Each playlist displays a sequence of items that operate independently. Even if two playlists contain items of exactly equal
lengths, you cannot rely on their display being completely synchronized. Instead, if you want to achieve synchronization
between playlists, you need to use a combination of Advance To commands and Rendezvous Points.
An Advance To command in a playlist causes the player to start displaying an item in another playlist. You specify the item to
display by placing a matching rendezvous point at an appropriate place in the other playlist. If the receiving zone's playlist
contains the rendezvous point, the player immediately starts playing the playlist item after the rendezvous point.
To link the two together, the Advance To command refers to the rendezvous point by name. You can select whether the
player passes the Advance To command to a single zone or to all zones in the current layout. Therefore, by placing the same
rendezvous point in several zones, you can trigger actions in all of them with a single Advance To command.
