steve@soundbp.com Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hi - I am after a solution that will enable a moderator to send messages to a presenter onstage. The presenter gets these messages via a fold back monitor screen mounted on the floor. Perhaps like a teleprompter or get the messages delivered to them to an iPad. Does anybody have any recommendations of software/apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave m Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 7" monitors are cheap on CPC or eBay and there are VGA ones but no idea how good. The simplest could be a video camera set up as a rostrum so a handwritten note fits and is quickly relayed up to the lecturn.Next is maybe a cat 5 VGA from a power point ? Obviously a larger monitor is easier to read but harder to hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for example will have a laptop connected to a floor mounted 40" LED screen for the presenter to see. I am after a peace of software or app that will allow us to type in on the laptop messages and for them to appear on the presenters LED screen full screen so they can read off it - Much like an auto cue! And/Or Do the same thing but the messages appear on a iPad which the presenter is holding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskers Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 There are many freeware packages and applications that have a message window as part of a speaker timing package. There is a tread on here somewhere or GOOGLE Presenter Timing down load a few and find the one that fits best for you. http://www.thoughtsonchristianliving.org/countdown-timer.html was one I found - no particular endorsement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empyfree Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 We use Powerpoint to send messages to our comfort monitors. Often we'll have them fed via a matrix so they can be used for main screen repeaters unless a message or clock is needed on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 We use Stagetimer2, you have timer, and can do messages etc as well. Im sure with mac's screen clone thing you can use on ipad as well. I think this was a question not so long ago as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete McCrea Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Renewed Vision's ProPresenter 5 will run a discrete presenter view. Though designed more for Churches and running better on Mac (as it was then ported to windows), it might help cover your requirements. It will also send the feed to an iPad I believe. It's been a while since I've used it personally though. In the corporate events most of the time it tends to be a separate laptop feeding the DSM either via a switch or directly.
