video display screens for churches with text hardware in stock

The size of your church’s screen depends on various factors, including the size of your church, architectural details, and the impression you want your screen to have on your congregation. Whatever your needs may be, we can create custom screens in all shapes and sizes to achieve the look you are seeking.

The price of an LED video wall will vary depending on factors like the screen’s size, the product used, and additional installation factors. Our staff is here to provide you with a specific quote for your project allowing you to get an accurate estimate as each installation is unique.

Pixel pitch, which is measured in millimeters, is the center-to-center spacing between the LEDs. When the congregation is closer to the screen, you need a tighter pixel pitch offering a higher resolution screen to avoid pixelation. We determine this based on minimum viewing distance and our team can assist in getting you the correct product & pitch that stays within your budget. To learn more about pixel pitch, visit our LED University page and watch our terminology video.

If you have any questions about our house of worship LED displays, contact us today. We can provide a free quote and consultation for your project. We look forward to serving you with unforgettable designs and dependable service.

Help individuals who are at your worship venue find their way around. Whether they are new or current congregation members, or just visitors, wayfinding can help individuals feel more comfortable.

Showcase your social media accounts to engage your congregation. Share social media feeds on your digital signage displays to make it easier for visitors to your place of worship to get connected.

Use a digital building directory to simplify how visitors and employees find their way. Replace paper signs with directories to save costs and modernize your building. Works well together with wayfinding.

Use digital screens to boost engagement, show announcements and other important information. Communication is possible with more than 150 apps to choose from; including social media and images.

Many churches and religious venues make use of live streaming. The service can be played in the lobby for those who needed to step out or for staff members who can"t attend in the main hall.

Another way to inform individuals of worship venue happenings. You can display the calendar for the next month, or even create individual displays for each event or activity.

You don’t want a LED wall that is too small or too big for a smaller venue.Our team will help you determine the appropriate size, panel modules, and displays with optimized viewing distances to meet your individual needs.

A general rule is to take the width of your stage and subtract 10 feet. For example, if the total stage width is 40 feet, a 30 feet LED Wall would be appropriate for your space. With that being said, you’ll want to consider the aspect ratio as well. Most graphics are displayed with a 16:9 aspect ratio, so unless you have custom content with a different aspect ratio, you’ll want to be sure to keep a similar 16:9 ratio. With a 30ft LED wall, your height will need to be 16 feet approximately.

LED Panels come in a wide variety of resolutions; we refer to this as pixel pitch. Determining the right pixel pitch is important because installing the wrong resolution video wall can result in undesired results or higher costs. The general rule is 2.5 feet per 1mm of resolution.

Harness the power of the most visible space you have - your screens. SongShow Plus allows you to communicate anything and everything in the most visually striking way - right out of the box.

The most visible thing in your church auditorium or sanctuary is your screen, and your ability to use this visual real estate depends upon the software used to display content.

Many churches use standard business communication tools like PowerPoint to display content, but these tools are not designed for the church environment and have serious limitations. SongShow Plus is presentation software designed specifically for churches with tools for displaying scripture, song lyrics, custom built slideshows for sermon content and much more. These tools not only allow you to display the right content, they allow you to do it quickly and on-the-go with our amazing mobile control features.

You can spend thousands of dollars on graphic design and video editing software, or you can elevate your content right inside SongShow Plus with our creative tools. Control color, overlay custom text, apply video filters - all in real time.

There are a lot of great programs available for creating content for your church but the cost required to obtain these programs is often out of reach - not to mention needing a staff member or key volunteer with the right skill set to make content.

Most of the time, you just want to do something simple, like create an announcement slide for an upcoming winter retreat or apply a color filter or a blur to an existing motion background to use behind song lyrics. SongShow Plus comes with an incredible toolset that allows you to create and elevate content.

Elevate your existing content with great tools like colorization, hue adjustments, blurs, hinges, reflections,image masking and overlay and much more. Create content through our simple builders that not only allow you to layout graphics and slideshows with the same tools found in high-priced design software, but give you the flexibility to change these graphics on the fly right in songshow with no rendering or exporting!

Many churches invest a fortune to get something as simple as overlaying text over live video. SongShow Plus handles live video throughput with multiple layers of media with ease in real time.

Many churches spend a fortune on implementing broadcast-level video production to have the ability to display image magnifying (IMAG) live video with text and graphic overlays on their screens. What if you could have this ability but avoid spending half of your operating budget to get it done?

With SongShow Plus and the help of our friends at Go Fish Media, we have a number of solutions that can give you the ability to send live video with text and graphic overlays right out of the box! Expand your ability to communicate to your church with live video of your pastor or worship team overlaid with titles, scripture references and song lyrics.

The cloud has changed the way we share content and SongShow Plus provides ways for you to seemlessly share and synchronize your media files between multiple machines.

The cloud has fundamentally changed the way we approach file management and storage. In our everyday life we have replaced USB flash drives with download links and hard drives with space "in the sky". The evolution of technology has forced us to change the way we operate and worship media is no exception.

There are a lot of great content producers that are making media for churches and SongShow Plus connects you directly to this great content through our integration with Shift Worship. It"s easier than ever to find the content that you need.

More than four years ago we wrote a short post about the free and open source alternatives to the professional, and somewhat costly, church presentation software products that were available back then. That blog post, to our surprise, immediately got a lot of attention and shares on social media. The comment section, which is still active today, was quickly filled with literal praise, questions and recommendations by our readers. It was obvious that there was a big crowd actively searching for options on how to handle the AV and multimedia content at their sermons and church services, and not many sites offering a listing of the available free alternatives.

Today, in 2022, the space has gotten a bit more crowded, with more products and offers, and the amount of web sites blogging about the Church Presentation Software space has grown significantly. However, we couldn’t find a single post that offered an up-to-date listing of all the available Church Presentation Software products. And that’s when we decided to make an effort to compose such a list and dedicate our self to keep it updated. We are going to keep adding new products as they appear on the market and move discontinued products and projects to the graveyard section (at the bottom of this post).

We urge everyone who finds or knows about other products in the Church Presentation Software space, that are not in our list, to add a comment with a link to the product(s) website and optionally a short review/recommendation. We will strive to add the missing entries as they are discovered.

At a minimum, each product will have information about its main features, price and home page. We will strive to keep these details correct and updated. Let us know in the comment section if you find any mistakes. We will also try to include at least one unique or different thing that sets the product apart from the others.

While not specifically tailored for it, SlideDog is used by more than a hundred Pastors and Church AV technicians for handling sermons and church services in the USA today. It offers great PowerPoint and media files compatibility, has an iOS/Android and web based remote, includes audience interaction features and is apparently a good enough church presentation software alternative for many people. SlideDog does not come with Bible or SongSelect integration, so content creators would have to add that to PowerPoint slides, videos or images themselves.

With Lyricue you are not restricted to setting everything up before the event as you can add, remove and change songs on the fly. You can type up notes directly to the screen or quickly display a bible verse at an instants notice. It is a networked software in its nature and requires you to set up a server on a Linux box. Hence it must be controlled by a web interface (called Precue) on the server computer or another remote device. The user interface is translated to English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese and Swedish. The project has been running for quite some years and slowly but steadily releases new updates. It’s Linux only, uses a client-server architecture and requires a bit of technical insight to get up and running.

Mediashout is a feature rich church presentation software solution and comes with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a market leader in this space. It is available for both Mac OS and Windows and the user interface has a lot of options for customization, such as layout setup, light/dark theme and interface language (French and Spanish, in addition to English, is supported). A nice feature, if you have volunteers running the show, is that you can enable “Voulenteer Mode”, which offers a simpler interface mode, hiding the settings and edit content controls. Mediashout offers an iOS app (why no Android app?) for remote control in addition to supporting USB wireless remotes. It has built in integration support for Dropbox (file sharing), Planning center (worship planning tool) and SongSelect (song database) and offers some additional tools for printing and reporting.

Proclaim is a major player in the church presentation software space. Their license model is subscription based and unlike others they will allow you to create an unlimited number of team accounts and install the software on as many Mac or Windows PCs as you want. This also means your team can edit and run several concurrent presentations using the same license. Proclaim integrates with the usual providers (SongSelect, Planning Center, Logis Bible Software and more) and any changes made to your service is saved to your teams cloud account. Their (and their partner) media library contains over 16 000 motions, stills and mini-movies, but you have to pay an extra fee to get access. Proclaim have implemented Polls & Surveys in their software, making it easier to interact and engage with your congregation. They have their own Proclaim Remote App for iOS and Android that works over local WiFi (no Internet connection required). Proclaim is probably the most complete church presentation tool out there. It has features and functionality that moves beyond the Sunday worship service, such as Digital Signage, Slide Sharing and Sermon Recording and Publishing.

ProPresenter is a cross-platform (Mac and Windows) worship and presentation software for live events. It not only targets worship gatherings, but also sporting events, conferences and trade shows.

As with many other worship software you can also instantly display popup alerts and notifications.

Unlike most other church presentation software products, Sharefaith Presenter isn’t a stand-alone application, it’s a PowerPoint Plugin. In their own words: “Sharefaith Presenter is not for every church. It’s custom built for the small-to-medium size church that works on a PC, has multiple campuses, and/or still believes that PowerPoint is of great use within the church.” Sharefaith Presenter requires Windows 10 and the version of PowerPoint that comes with Office 365 (2016/2019).

Big Screen is, unlike most others, a web based church presentation solution. That means you don’t have to install any software and you can run it on both Mac OS and Windows using a modern browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla FireFox. The downside to this is that an Internet connection is required. Big Screen is split into two sections; the admin section and the control surface. The control surface is the interface to present your media. You can add Songs, Videos, Images, Timers and Bible Scriptures to playlists and save them in your online library. When presenting, multiple new browser windows will be created for each of the screens connected to your computer. You will then have to drag the window to the correct screen.

FreeWorship, as its name states, is free, but comes in a more feature-rich paid Pro version. As it’s not completely free (but instead “Freemium”), we felt it was better to add it to the paid category of this post. The biggest differences between the Free and Pro versions is that the latter includes licensed bibles, comes with SongSelect integration and features Website Projection, Live Twitter Feed and Google Slides support. You also have some other differences that you can compare in the Pro vs. Free comparison table on their website. Both the Free and Pro versions support PowerPoint slides and can play videos, songs, images and bible scriptures. FreeWorship is compatible with Windows Vista and above. The user interface is similar to other Worship software, consisting of a playlist of media items, controls for launching and adding new items and “Preview/Up Next” and “Live” viewer panels.

The software lets you import lyrics from SongSelect, OpenLP, MediaShout and EasyWorship. Both Free and Paid bible formats can be imported. Worship Extreme also features a Remote App and a Stage Display app, both available for iOS and Android.

The user interface looks a bit dated, but comes with the essential controls for displaying videos, images, songs and scriptures.

You can create sermon notes and view these while giving the presentation, setup looping announcement slides and toggle nursery alerts for displaying numbers, sets of numbers, or messages during worship.

The Full King James Version of the Bible is included and you can automatically create slides for whatever verse you need. It can play videos and supports AVI, MPEG, ASF, Windows Media, RealVideo, QuickTime and Flash.

Worship Him comes in a Lite and Power edition with the major difference being the Lite edition only supporting one projector feed, while the Power edition supports up to five. Worship Him is a feature rich application that supports all the media that you would expect, including PowerPoint and Impress slide decks. It has 13 included Bible versions and a large selection of video backgrounds, stills, hymns and graphics included. It supports Windows Vista and up. You can try it by downloading the free trial version of Worship Him, which is fully functional but only includes a sample of the graphics and Bible versions. Their license is Site based, meaning that customers may install Worship Him on as many computers as they want providing that it is for their use only. They don’t have any iOS or Android app, but instead offer a network remote control mode inside the application that let’s you control up to 3 other computers running Worship Him.

Sunday Worship is “Church Song Presentation Software” that allows you to project songs, scriptures, photos, videos and notices for all the congregation to see. It is not as advanced as many of their competitors in this list and only offer basic features for song, Bible and video display.

Their software isn’t updated frequently, but with a relatively simple feature set that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Screen Monkey is professional media playback and control software for Live Events, Theatre, Churches, VJ’s and Broadcast. They have a separate software package called Worship Monkey that is intended for use by churches who want to use Screen Monkey for displaying their song words. It provides a simple interface to search for songs and build a service plan that can then be imported into Screen Monkey. To use the Open Song library in Screen Monkey you must download a separate converter tool from their web page.

Ephphatha (I have no idea how to pronounce that) is a church presentation software tool made in India. Their web page isn’t very clear on what features that are included or how much the software costs, but looking at the screenshot from the application, it is definitely a Windows application. It also seems from the screenshot that they support creating playlists of Bible scriptures, hymns, prayers, liturgy and media, including PowerPoint and audio/video files. You can request a demo on their site and there’s also a phone number you can all to get more information.

Praisenter is an application that provides display of Bible verses, songs, and notifications (among other things) to a secondary display, typically a projector, monitor or television for use in a church service or event.

ShowShare is a web based presentation software for Christian worship. It doesn’t require any installation and should work on any web enabled device or platform. It’s made by Delta Lights, which appears to be an AV supplier offering technical services and training. Both the company web page and the ShowShare product page haven’t been updated in quite a while and the user interface doesn’t seem to play well with modern browsers, which should be a minimum requirement if you offer a web based tool..

The marketing world concurs; that paper is in the past, all is now digital, and digital signage is everywhere. From the landmark Piccadilly Lights, revamped in 2017 with a state-of-the-art 4K LED screen and running cutting-edge digital signage software, to the iconic Times Square digital screens. Digital signage is all around us.

If you are a business owner or a marketing manager, finding a digital signage solution is a must. 70% of U.S. residents aged 12 or older have seen a digital video display in a public venue in the past month. That is a huge audience you need to make sure you are taking advantage of.

That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the best digital signage software tools around, to help you make the most out of your digital displays. No matter what your requirements are there is a solution for your needs.

With this digital signage solution, you get the ability to create and schedule playlists on a single interface. This allows you to put multiple pieces of content together and set the displays to cycle through a playlist, instead of having to schedule each piece of content.

Screenly also offers you the ability to display 1080p Full HD images, videos, and live web pages. Usefully, the software automatically detects your TV and monitor dimensions to render your signage in the highest resolution available.

You can use Screenly OSE for free, however, if you want key features such as the ability to manage multiple screens from a single account and cloud-based storage, you’ll need a subscription. A yearly subscription to the Business plan costs $17 a month per screen.

This digital signage software is ideal for a variety of purposes, from displaying business metrics on a dashboard to digital menu boards in a restaurant. For QSRs, an effective digital menu board is particularly important as 29.5% of customers find digital menus influential for the purchase of a product.

Marketing themselves as the first company to offer advanced digital signage to everyone for free, DigitalSignage.com is a browser-based solution that allows you to easily create an amazing digital presentation on your PC. You can then share this to an unlimited number of remote screens. This is the major selling point of DigitaSignage.com, as most options require you to pay for their subscription service to unlock additional screen support. For example, you could have a monitor close to your point of sale and an advertising kiosk, such as the LamasaTech Guida kiosk shown below, as another screen closer to the entrance. Both would be able to display your digital signage content.

The Enterprise edition is DigitalSignage.com’s subscription offering which starts at $49 per month. With this, you gain access to more advanced features such as multi-user management and the advertising manager.

To access all of the features DigitalSignage.com offers you’ll need the Enterprise subscription. However, the free version offers you enough core features to be able to create and display your content.

As for support, DigitalSignage.com provides a wide coverage of help for their users including a live chat available on their website, along with webinars and tutorials.

Concerto is a web-based signage system that is among the most popular. It is praised for its user-friendly and easy-to-use interface. Concerto offers support across multiple platforms, you just need access to a browser. You’ll need a database and server that can run Ruby on Rails (ROR) web applications too.

Features such as content scheduling and multi-screen support are available with this software. You can set what your displays are showing, allowing you to more directly engage with your community via graphical, video and text-based messages.

PeakSignage gives you the ability to launch your messaging and monitor your screens from an online dashboard that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via any modern browser.

One of the stand-out features of PeakSignage is the drag-and-drop layout editor. You simply select which element or widget you want to add to your content, then drop it where you’d like it to appear. No set zones for these elements means you have complete flexibility when it comes to designing your digital signage.

PeakSignage also allows you to group your screens, meaning you can easily align the messages on your devices. For example, if you have a window display, like the one shown below, and a few freestanding kiosks in your reception, you could group all of these and have them display your welcome messages. This saves you valuable time, as you only have to create your content once and then push it to the group rather than having to create duplicates for each screen.

A bonus here is that you can use these grouped screens to clearly communicate with your employees as well as customers. Using PeakSignage, you can display useful information such as a calendar of meetings or current targets on your screens. This will improve your internal communications, which can result in a 25% increase in productivity from your staff.

Another useful feature is the Emergency Override. This lets you create an alert, which could include fire exit locations and meeting points, that will be displayed on your screens in the event of an emergency. You can activate the emergency mode from the PeakSignage dashboard and your screens will immediately update to display your alert message. This lets you provide the safety information your customers and staff will need quickly and clearly, helping to improve your on-site safety.

Like with many of the other options listed in this article, Yodeck is a cloud-based digital signage platform. Although Yodeck offers a “free” version, that only includes a single screen and you are required to purchase a Yodeck Player. This means to take full advantage of what Yodeck offers you’ll need to sign up for one of their subscription plans. These are very reasonably priced, which is what makes Yodeck a popular choice. The plans you can choose from are:

In terms of the user interface, Yodeck has a straightforward dashboard making it easy to navigate quickly. Your media files can be pushed to a screen directly from the upload page, so your content can be displayed right away with no downtime. Free templates are also included to help you get started with creating your digital signage.

For the lower price point, Yodeck provides a quick and easy-to-use digital signage solution, however, you will find that the more advanced features that help you organise your content, such as PeakSignage’s alerts, are not here.

ScreenCloud markets itself as a “barrier-free” digital signage solution. This is definitely the case when it comes to connecting the app to your screens, as any media player or even “smart TV” can be used as your screen.

ScreenCloud is designed to be used on any hardware letting you focus on your digital signage content and not finding a compatible device. If your hardware is a “smart device” and is capable of downloading apps, you can download the ScreenCloud app directly onto that device. If it isn’t able to do this, you would need a media player. For commercial use, it is suggested that you use the media player option as this will provide you with a more advanced operating system designed for commercial digital signage.

Sharing dashboards between users securely is also a big part of ScreenCloud’s “barrier-free” aim. Your credentials and details are stored in the cloud and not on any local devices. With this security, you can confidently share your dashboards with other users allowing you each to reflect on real-time data and make changes accordingly. This will help you to increase the speed of your decision-making process.

If you find yourself stuck or unsure how to get started, ScreenCloud provides a range of useful video tutorials to help you. Also, you’ll find further resources and guides on their website if you’re having trouble. These can save you time, especially when you first start, as you can learn exactly how to create and manage your content without having to learn through the time-consuming trial-and-error method.

OptiSigns functions in a similar way to ScreenCloud, as it is an app that can be installed on an Amazon Fire stick to show your digital signage on any TV screen. It can also show content on a video wall if you have a video wall controller, like the one shown below. To learn more about video wall controllers click here.

Once you have connected your screen and added it to your account, you can use the web portal to start assigning content. As with many of the other solutions in this article, you can manage your screens and assign content remotely.

Creating content is done by uploading your images or videos and placing them on the canvas, where they can be positioned and resized. To add more life to your digital signage, OptiSign offers a set of widgets such as date, time and weather, that will alter depending on the location of your screen. The stand-out widget though is the Apps widget. OptiSign has a range of apps that you can link to your content and display, these include:

If you are unsure how to lay out your first design, like with the other solutions mentioned above, OptiSign provides ready-to-use templates to help you create your content. There are more than 500 to choose from, so using the search function provided to narrow down what you are looking for can help save you some time.
