Abstract
A method of real-time file synchronization includes segmenting a file to be synchronized into a plurality of segments, each segment of the plurality of segments representing a portion of the file to be displayed on slave systems. The method further includes indexing the plurality of segments into a file index, the file index organized based on the format of the file to be synchronized. The method further includes generating a synchronization key, the synchronization key being included within the file to be synchronized. The method further includes transmitting a synchronization signal if a segment change is detected, the synchronization signal including a file index value, the file index value representing the segment change. The method further includes receiving the synchronization signal.
