Controlling 2 computers together...

[EBAC LD]

I am not sure that this is possible but I thought I would at least ask.

We run our confidence monitor off of the same feed as our front projectors but, we have an a/b switch tied to another computer so we can send messages to the rear screen if needed.

We are using Easy Worship on both computers and I am wondering is there a way that I could leave the rear screen on the secondary computer and have it follow what the operator is doing on the primary computer?

I am interested in doing this so I can send the same lyrics to the rear screen without moving backgrounds, and be able to overlay a clock without seeing it up front.

Thanks,
Justin

I believe the "confidence monitor" feature will come out in a new build of EW 2007, later on this year, and then in EW 2010 coming out next year, so you can do away with the second computer soon. All you'll need is a computer with two graphics cards installed, or a maxtrox dualhead2go.

Which 2207 build is this. We recently received build 1.7 but have not gotten around to installing it yet.

We've been told later this year. Summer? Autumn? Winter? We'll see and be impressed when it's out for God's uses in the church!

I'd say either upgrade to Media Shout that already has that ability or hope Easy Worship comes out with it soon.

The latest SongShow Plus edition also has a confidence monitor feature.

How does Media Shout compare to Easyworship for ease of use.

That's pretty subjective. I'm a SongShowPlus user for years and when I was given EasyWorship to use in a live setting, it didn't make sense to me. But I didn't have any intro to the software.

Many find SSP hard to use, but I've never had any troubles picking it up.

A salesman trying to sell my brother software said that he should either go SundayPlus or EasyWorship and that he shouldn't even consider MediaShout unless he had full time staff to learn it and run it. We all know that's an exaggeration.

The best test is to download the free demos and kick the tires yourself.

Media Shout is by far the easiest I've ever used. I think that's hilarious. I'm now on a mac, using ProPresenter, but it's a bit less intuitive.

I just think that's funny.

I use MS weekly and lead the team responsible for doing layouts and operating the system. I would say MS is dead drop easy to 'run' on a weekly basis. My six year old can run it. Where can take time is learning how to do the layouts. Part of this is because the flexibility that you have. You can tweak a lot of finer aspects of the program.

However with a set of default templates, you can greatly simplify the process by applying the template and not worrying about all the bells and whistles of the program. I can show someone how to do a layout including songs, Bible verses, powerpoint, audio, and video cues in about 10-15 minutes.

EW09 will be in beta form soon. One of the new features is what we are calling foldback which is the same as your confidence monitor. You won't need two comptuers at that point.
