You would either need one of the software programs that allows you to send 3 independent feeds (one to your monitor in the booth, one to the screen for the congregation, & one for your stage monitors), or a second computer to run the monitors up front.

As others already said, you would need software capable of sending separate feeds to the stage or wherever they need to go. To clarify, your computer would need a separate video card for each display.

In addition to other software mentioned, SongShow Plus has the ability to send a separate feed (although I wouldn't personally recommend the software, because it's rather clunky and you practically need to be a computer programmer/expert to get around all the preferences and options). For the Mac option, the new ProPresentor 4 has the capability of sending a separate signal for a stage display.

This is often something that isn't considered. To add a bit more clarification - you'll need one video output to the desktop monitor, one to the front screen and another to the rear. This is if you want to project different info on the front and back projectors (assuming you have the right software). If you're ok with having the same info on both - you'll need a VGA splitter.

I've seen but not used - a USB to VGA converter. This would be very beneficial to those using laptops.

Eric, the Free2Worship system allows the band to see the chords at the same time as the singers and congregation see the lyrics. The congregation sees the lyrics projected on the big screen with whatever still or motion background you choose, and the band sees the chords. Real simple system and it works great.

Designed by worship leaders for our own use. Now available to the worship community at large. You could check it out online at free2worship.net or give us a call at 770-222-5998 to talk to inventor, Mark Baer. Blessings. --Mark D.

If you want, Eric, you could give me a call at 770-309-3956 and I would be glad to answer your questions about the Free2Worship system.

Help me out... So you are saying if we upgrade to the newest Easy Worship edition that we can project different things on the back screen? We are currently set up so that the feed is the same for the front and back screens. I've been told we have to freeze the front screens in order to show lyrics or sermon notes on the back. The problem is the two front screens can't be "frozen" via remote from the soundbooth - sometimes it turns them both off, sometimes just one and then they are not doing the same thing.

That would be awesome for lyric dropping people like me for vocal solos & ensembles...

Micheal - the newest version of Easy Worship will support displaying different info on two screens.
