sounds like a great step in a powerful direction.

This sounds great! I hope I am interpreting this correctly.
One of the things that I did not like about the stage display was that it was always limited and I could not change it on the fly. I liked the fact that, for songs, it used just two colors and showed the entire verse, even though I used page-by-page on the main display and a verse could have multiple pages; but I disliked that I could not, for example, show videos on the stage monitor or show the pastor exactly what the congregation was seeing during the message. I used a VGA A/B switch to get around this; if I am reading this right, it sounds like I won't be needing that switch any more. It also sounds like I can reconfigure my displays, in software, on the fly without a restart.

I have verses with over 12 lines, so verse by verse display would not work for us.
Although, I guess if I really wanted to use the feature, we could reconfigure the song parts to make it work.

Recent versions have allowed you to create your own verses.
Because of the Stage monitor (and some songs with really long verses) we have a few songs where "Verse 1" has been replaced with "Verse 1a" and "Verse 1b."

We used to do things like that before I discovered Page at a time.
I still occasionally will bring up an old hymn and wonder why it has 8 verses. When I look at them,there are 4, split out over the 8 verse parts that were available before custom part naming came to be.

Michael,
Unfortunately, you do have a slight misunderstanding. The stage display in 8.0 will not show a copy of the video that is playing on the primary display. (Adding this capability is high on the to-do list, however). What is possible is to temporarily break the link between the primary display and the stage display to send separate content to the stage display. This could be used, for example, to present lyrics to a choir that is performing a special and for which the congregation, itself, does not need to see the lyrics.

Can the primary and secondary program advance be linked?
There's a user over on ChurchMedia.net that is looking to fire two different videos on two different projectors, but at exactly the same time. Sync 2 Videos - 2 Screens . So far the only suggestions is a particular piece of Mac software.

Is there more info documented anywhere on how the multiple display capability will be controlled? Joel's question about simultaneously changing two displays at the same time is one good example of the kind of info needed. Related to that- if one screen was backdrop or video lighting you might want it to be changed at the same time as any background video in the primary screen....
Please more info on this??
thanks,
k

In version 8.0 you can link a display to it's stage output display. In version 8.1 there will be an additional link available for the environmental projection display.

Hi Doug,
Man Im sorry, but I dont understand. Lets say I want to have three screens in a row, with three different video segments which all run side by side. Can I change all three video output at the same time by the same SSP "cue" or trigger?

If you have three screens for which you always want the outputs to be synchronized, then you can use a TripleHead2Go to treat them as a single display. You can put multiple video objects on a single slide in SongShow Plus.
