- Lyrics Monitor, so that the choir/musicians can have their own view of the lyrics with chords.
- Live Cam allows you to show a live feed from an attached camcorder
- Semi-Portable Worship List. If you have set up worship list on your pc at home and would like to use it at church. A problem is that your song database at home might not be in sync with the one at church because an internal unique ID is used for each song. With v4, if you copy a worship list from one pc to another, EasiSlides will select the song based on title and folder. If it can’t find it, it will display an error message. In most cases, if the titles and folders on your PC and church PC are the same, EasiSlides will identify the right song.
- Text over Video / Audio association for each item. This means a video or audio will play automatically when an item is displayed. (Windows media Player 10/DirectX 9 or later is required)
- Rotation settings for database and InfoScreen item. This means you can save slide timings in step with an audio/video file so that each slide will advance automatically at a certain point when music/video is being played.
