Control room V3 and tablet lectern

Bible verse by verse, live song arrangement rail, remote preview and an improvisation lectern on tablet.

2026-07-16

Control room V3 makes live services more flexible: the Bible projects verse by verse, song sections can be reordered while the congregation sings, and the remote becomes a real lectern on a tablet.

The Bible, verse by verse

  1. In the Live panel (Bible tab), the "1 verse = 1 slide" switch is on by default.
  2. Whether you type a reference ("John 3:16-19") or select verses in the browser, each verse becomes its own slide, with its exact reference shown ("John 3:17").
  3. The congregation reads one full verse, never a wall of text. A very long verse is split cleanly at sentence boundaries.
  4. Turn the switch off to get the previous "block" mode back (whole passage split into full slides).

The live arrangement rail

When a song slide is on screen, its sections appear above the stage like keys: Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2...

  1. Tap a section to jump to it immediately.
  2. Drag and drop sections to reorder the song during the service: the slides follow.
  3. The gold "+ Chorus" button repeats the chorus right after the current section - perfect while the congregation is still singing.
  4. A song inserted on the fly from the Live panel now follows its structure (order and repeats) and gets the same rail.

Sermons and quotes: comfortable reading

Sermon parts and prophet quotes are made to be read from the pews:

  1. The text takes the full width of the screen, justified like a Word document (left and right edges aligned).
  2. The split into several slides adapts to the chosen font size: a bigger font means shorter slides, cut at sentence boundaries.
  3. If you enlarge the font mid-service, the slide adjusts automatically so the whole paragraph stays visible - text is never cut off screen.

The remote sees what you are doing

On the phone that scanned the QR:

  1. "On screen" shows the current slide (title + start of the text) and "Up next" the following one: the operator anticipates without turning around.
  2. The progress bar places the session at a glance.
  3. "Go to..." opens a grid of the whole session, colour-coded by type (song, Bible, preaching), centred on the current slide: you are at slide 5, tap 10 or 1, it is projected.

The tablet lectern

The same QR opens, on a tablet (wide screen), an improvisation lectern:

  1. On the left: what the congregation sees, what comes next, and the big Previous / Next / Black buttons.
  2. On the right: the full Bible - Testament, then the grid of books, chapters, and the starting verse.
  3. Once the verse is chosen, "Next verse" and "Previous verse" step verse by verse, and roll over to the next chapter automatically.
  4. The slide is updated at each verse: the session does not fill up with duplicates.

Note: the tablet only sends references - the content is projected by the control room. No church data travels through the remote.

Tips

  1. The lectern is ideal for a preacher who improvises: they pick their own passages without going through the technician.
  2. On a phone, the page stays the simple remote; on a tablet, it becomes the lectern. One QR for both.
