Has your media team ever felt restricted because everything has to be controlled from one single computer? For example, when a guest speaker wants to control their own presentation slides, or when someone needs to quickly display a last-minute announcement photo. Usually, the solution involves rushing a USB flash drive to the sound booth, which can easily disrupt the flow of the service.
To solve this everyday challenge, we created ShowLyrics Media Sender—a lightweight and reliable companion application designed specifically to work alongside your main ShowLyrics presentation software.
What Exactly Does It Do?
ShowLyrics Media Sender acts as a wireless remote for your main presentation computer. By installing this app on any secondary Windows laptop connected to the same Wi-Fi network, your team can control the main screen from anywhere in the room.
- Wireless PowerPoint Control: A speaker or production member can sit in the front row and comfortably click through PowerPoint slides. The main ShowLyrics computer will instantly receive the command and display the slides on the projector without any delay.
- Instant Media Beaming: Got a sudden video testimony or audio track that needs to be played right now? You can simply select the file on the Media Sender laptop and beam it directly to the main screen, all without interrupting the lyric operator.
- Photo & Image Beaming: Project announcement photos or guest speaker pictures instantly without having to pass a flash drive to the operator.
- Better Team Collaboration: You can easily divide the workload. Have one volunteer focus entirely on song lyrics at the main computer, while another person handles the sermon slides and video playback using the Media Sender app.
Local Network Technology (No Internet Required)
One of the biggest concerns with wireless control is lag or dropped internet connections. ShowLyrics Media Sender solves this by not requiring an internet connection at all.
The application communicates directly with the main computer using your church's local network (Wi-Fi or LAN). This means that even if the church internet goes down completely, your wireless remote system will continue to run smoothly and responsively.
Included Free with ShowLyrics
We believe that great collaborative tools should be accessible to churches of all sizes. That’s why ShowLyrics Media Sender is automatically included for free when you download the main ShowLyrics installation package.
