Single versus Dual Screens
Previous  Top  Next

The projection features have been optimized for a dual screen computer system. The playlist display contains many features designed to control the projection display, navigate between songs, and even customize its appearance. The projection features will also work well with a single screen system, but with some limitations.



·Dual screen: The playlist (which becomes the projection control window) can be placed on one screen, and the projection display shown on the other screen. This way, the output from the second video card can be dedicated to a digital projection device, so that the congregation never sees the mouse cursor or other windows, and the projector mute/blank functions are not necessary. Setting up (or upgrading to) a dual-screen system is simple and inexpensive for most up-to-date computers; visit the Split Infinity Music web site for some suggested setups and considerations.  

·Single Screen: The playlist can still be shown on a single screen system, but it naturally covers all the other windows. For this reason, a number of simple keyboard commands have been included to fully control the display. For example, the spacebar quickly moves to the next song. In this mode, the program can be quite useful with a portable computer located on the podium or piano, providing full (even searchable) access to the entire database of music, along with a large-font display of the current song. With additional monitors showing the same image, all the musicians and singers can see the same thing, and one person can handle all the page-turning.
