UPDATED May 17, 2025:

I keep getting questions over in the ProPresenter Users' Group about what computers can run ProPresenter.  This post, which I'll try to keep updated is to answer that question:

Macs:

M4 Macs?

The base model M4 iMac only supports two displays total, but the base model M4 Mac Mini supports three.  i actually bought an M4 mini, upgraded the RAM to 24 gb (although the 16 base configuration would work), and upgraded the storage to 1 TB.  The base 256 gb isn't enough if you use very much video, but with a fast external thunderbolt drive, you could get away with it.  There are third parties selling upgrade kits to swap out the internal drive in favor of up to 2 TB of storage for A LOT less than Apple.  That said, the swap would probably void your warranty, so keep that in mind, even though it looks straightforward.

M3 Macs?

The base model M3 only supports two displays (like the M2), but the M3 Pro chip and larger, support 3+.  

M2 Macs?

Once released, the M2 Air an...

Recently, I did a one on one consulting call with Josh N.  His church wanted to live-stream, send something different to the projectors, and send the same video from the live-stream to the nursery and lobby.

You might be thinking, "He'll need to buy a lot of equipment to do that."  

Nope.

He had most of what he needed (he just needed a couple SDI to HDMI converters, but other than that, he had it all).

So, what was the problem?  

He didn't know what to hook up where.  

I took some notes and then guided him through hooking it all up and the video on this page is what he said after we were done.

If you'd like to learn more about live video production, ProPresenter, and live-streaming, you can either book one on one time with me or click here to find out more about joining ChurchTechU, my online church tech training community.

I have a member of my extended family who MIGHT have COVID.  She's not in great health, so this MIGHT be a very bad thing, but...

We'll get through it.

Remember what they say, "This too shall pass."  

That's the good news of our situation AND the bad news.  Whatever is happening will change.

Happily, as a person of faith, I know how it ends.  Whether it gets worse before it gets better or it gets better, the future will eventually get better.

So, this is a quick message to say, hold on, no matter what your situation.  Some day, we'll be able to tell everyone about how bad 2020 was, just as those in 1920 could tell how bad 1918 was.
