Systems for high-bandwidth digital content synchronization include transmitters including encoders, where each encoder is configured to encode one or more media steams. Systems further include receivers including decoders, where each decoder is configured to decode the one or more media streams. Decoders further include at least one packet receiver and at least one buffer, the buffer having a configurable buffer depth. Systems also include display devices configured to display outputs of the decoders, and a coordinator communicatively coupled to the encoders and the decoders. The coordinator includes one or more processors configured to start media streams being encoded by the encoders and decoded by the decoders, synchronize the media streams while the media streams are being buffered by the decoders, and implement a synchronized switching event associated with the media streams.
