You will need to decide if you want to use a Chroma/Luma Key (cheaper) or an Alpha Key (more expensive but looks better), and you will need to consider if you will output the content from ProPresenter using the Multi-Screen Module (less control, more automatic) or using a separate computer and the Master Control Module (more control, more work). This is a possible setup inside of ProPresenter, however, there are several items to consider first. The most common way to show lyrics and other content onto a stream is by showing them as Lower Thirds (named such because the content is normally limited to the lower third of the screen).

You can find out more about this type of setup here. Using this method would require the SDI/NDI Module inside of ProPresenter ($99), a streaming solution that supports NDI (such as Wirecast check with your streaming software to see if they support it), and a network connection between your ProPresenter computer and your streaming hardware. NDI is a method for sending a video feed (such as a copy of what ProPresenter is sending to your in-house audience) over your network to another device. (The process for plugging it into your streaming hardware would depend on your streaming software/hardware you would need to reach out to your streaming provider to get more specifics about how to set that up.)Īnother way to set this up would be to send the signal out of ProPresenter as a digital feed via NDI. One way to do this would be to take the signal that is already being sent to your in-house audience and run it through a “splitter” (sometimes called a “distribution amp”, or “DA”), then take one feed out of the splitter and plug it into your streaming hardware. To create a Picture-in-Picture look, you would simply need to copy ProPresenter’s output to your streaming software. While not most people’s first choice, many users find that providing the lyrics and other media from ProPresenter onto the stream in a “Picture-in-Picture” mode is often the most cost-effective and easiest solution to set up.
