I can't see quite how to apply it to your exact requirements, but it has been mentioned in the past WRT syncronising video playback on multiple machines. IIRC VLC has a broadcast server and you can point multiple VLC clients at it. If your video is merely 1080p then you may be able to configure each VLC client just to discard the unneeded parts of the video without straining the network & server. Stroller.
