Feature Preview: Customize Stage Display
5/31/2014 < Previous Next >
The stage display in SongShow Plus is designed to mirror the text of a presentation display but in a fashion that is more readable for those on stage. In version 8.0 and earlier, the options were limited to black-on-white/white-on-black, and a few format settings. With version 8.1, you can now use Slide Properties to specify how the stage display will look. This provides you with complete control over how songs are presented on the stage display, just as you do for the presentation display.The way it works is that the stage display now uses the Slide Properties assigned to the display its set to use. So if the stage display is set to use display 2, then stage content built for this display uses the slide properties for display 2. With this flexibility, you can now use any colors, backgrounds, and layouts the you want for this output. (The previous settings panel for stage display no longer exists.) This is something that we've received requests for several times since the stage display was first released so we're happy to provide it now as a feature.

This is great. Currently when there is a video clip in my message or a clip that is played while the worship team is on the platform we all have to turn around. My question is: How do I make this happen. I can't figure out how to make this change and tech support doesn't know yet either.

Chris,
to clarify - this feature is only in Version 8.1 so unless you are using the current candidate release, you are probably using 8.0.
If you are actually using version 8.1, please elaborate on exactly what you are trying to accomplish and I can point you in the right direction.

Chris, you're actually referring to what is yet another new feature of 8.1.

I downloaded 8.1 today so that we could try out this feature. But I couldn't figure out how to activate it. I must admit what I really would like to be able to do is see video that we show during the service. I'm not interested in the video background behind songs, etc. But when I use a video clip during the message I have to turn around to see it. The same goes with the worship team.

Hi Chris,
The quickest route to addressing your concerns would be to call in to the support team. They can walk you through the activation and then assist in setting up the displays how you want them.

All of the settings for the stage display are now located through the menu command Settings > Display
