Before the service & troubleshooting
Run a complete rehearsal whenever the deck, room, computer, network, or display wiring changes.
Before people arrive
- Open the correct deck collection and service deck.
- Read through the complete deck. Check section order, hidden or disabled items, lyrics, Bible text, PDF pages, media, notes, and default slides.
- Open Displays → Screens. Enable the intended outputs, choose the right profile for each, and run Identify screens.
- Test sound from every audio or video cue. Leave only the intended audible route enabled.
- Start the presentation and verify the real projector, confidence screen, and NDI receiver—not only Live View.
- Pair each phone role you will use and test it from the operator’s actual venue network.
- If AI is part of the service, test the selected microphone and every AI-enabled cue with the actual content.
- Stop the presentation, return to the intended starting point, and keep a manual navigation path ready.
The presentation is live, but a projector is blank
- Open Displays → Screens and confirm that screen is detected and enabled.
- Run Identify screens and confirm the number matches the physical projector.
- Check the assigned display profile.
- If Live View is also blank, clear Blank, select the intended cue, and advance.
- If the screen is not detected, check the cable, adapter, projector input, and the operating system’s display settings, then refresh Displays.
A phone cannot connect
- Open Connections → Phone remote and read the connection status.
- For Same Wi-Fi, put the phone and Presenter computer on the same network. Guest networks may block devices from reaching one another.
- Reopen Mobile control and scan the QR for the correct role.
- If the QR is near expiry, use Extend session. If the link may have been shared too widely, use Refresh QR and send the new one.
- If venue networking prevents local access and the organisation has Team, switch to Anywhere (Team).
Media plays without sound
- Check that the cue itself is not muted and that its volume is up.
- Open Displays and enable either Presenter sound or sound on the intended screen.
- Avoid enabling sound on several routes unless that is deliberate; duplicate routes can echo.
- Confirm the operating system and venue mixer are using the expected output.
Lyrics, Bible text, or chords are wrong
- Edit reusable lyrics or passages in Lyrics Designer, save, and confirm the deck cue uses the intended item.
- For a linked second language, keep both items in the same stanza order and enable the linked translation or passage in cue Details.
- Chords are deliberately hidden from projectors and normal Viewer/Controller output. Use Worship Assist in Remote for a chord view.
- If saved chords do not appear in Hub, use recognised notation, run Connections → Hub → Sync songs with Hub, and check for a free-plan skip or merge conflict. Select Hub & phone remotes under Topics for the exact steps.
AI does not advance
- Confirm AI Assistant is on and all required downloads are complete.
- Confirm the current cue or section uses Advance mode → AI assistant.
- Check the selected microphone, its input level, and operating-system permission.
- Check the language and AI mode.
- Advance manually if needed; manual control always remains available.
A Hub change is missing
- For songs or chord edits, save the song and run Sync songs with Hub. Review any conflict in Lyrics Designer.
- For an event, choose it again and review the auto-deck preview. Create & open auto-deck always creates a new deck; it does not update or merge into an already edited deck.
- Confirm Presenter and Hub are using the same organisation.
When a problem is unresolved, preserve the current deck and use manual controls. Do not change display routing, connection mode, or AI setup mid-service unless the fallback is already working.
