Run several pipelines at once
Songs, scripture, slides and video each have their own pipeline. Keep several live, switch which one is on the screens, and control one while another stays on air.
On this page
A service mixes things: a song, then a reading, then the sermon slides, with an announcement loop in the lobby. ChristChant gives each kind of content its own pipeline, with its own Preview and its own live state, so preparing one never disturbs another.
The pipelines
| Pipeline | Holds |
|---|---|
| Song | Lyrics from your song library. |
| Sermons, Announcements, Lobby, Timer | Four independent slide lanes (A to D) for presentations, PowerPoint decks, countdowns and loops. See Use the four slide lanes. |
| Bible | Scripture passages. |
| Video | Video clips. |
| Image | Pictures and slideshows. |
A tab for every live pipeline
Every pipeline you feed gets a tab at the top of the Live Controller. The one on the screens is marked PGM (the program); the others wait in standby, ready to switch to.
Control one while another stays on air
Click a tab that isn't the program to work with it, such as moving to the right verse, while the program stays on the screens. The note at the top right says what you're controlling, and that it's not the program.
Switch the program
Under the room monitor, a row of buttons lists the pipelines on the live bus. Click one to put it on the screens. You can also do it from Pipeline Flow with To Program.
How do I take a pipeline off the live bus?
Click Drop on its card in Pipeline Flow. In its Preview, the Fed button does the same.
Can a pipeline go to one screen only?
Yes. An extra screen can show a single pipeline on its own, such as a lobby screen showing the Lobby lane all service long. See Add more screens.
