Hello All,
So I'm maybe moving up in my need for more Mac knowledge.
I pastor a church and right now we use a windows pc running a program called SongShowPlus. The pc has a video card with two video outs on it. One to the monitor, and one to the projector.
I'm looking at changing programs so that we can swap our one pc to a Mac. The program is ProPresenter.
This program I believe was built from the ground up specifically for Mac.
This program has some wonderful features. One of the main ones is to be able to use "Stage Display" in which the text for songs can be sent to a TV with VGA or whatever input to the stage to eliminate the need for music stands and such.
So here is the question. I would need to be able to see an image on the computer screen itself, project an image (this is NOT a mirroring of the screen and is a totally separate image) to a projector, but then also send yet another separate image to the stage display.
So it is appearing that I may need to have the capability for 3 separate video out.
I have NO IDEA how to do this on a Mac. Which Mac do I look at? Is the iMac capable of this? The Mac mini? Would I have to go with the Mac Pro?
Any advice would be wonderful! Thank you all.
