Public Beta testing
One suggestion, the "logo" button should just clear the screen, not put the image defined as a logo.
Because, using "alternate output" as lower third, pressing "logo" will cover the entire screen with the defined image.
Or put an option to define how it will work in cases:
- LOGO
- MEDIA / Images
- MEDIA / videos
- PRESENTATION
Agree with Igreja. The Logo should be ignored when using alpha channel.
Also, is it possible to choose whether the NDI output will output alpha channel? We have some situations where we would like to capture the entire display with backgrounds. It would be great if there was a way to generate two NDI outputs, one with alpha channel and one that shows the background. This way we could utilize two either version on different scenes in our streaming software. If we ever go full screen with a presentation, lyrics, or scripture it would be nice to have that background. As a workaround we can do this by running ndi scan converter and capturing the display EW is projecting to, but that generates multiple extra NDI feeds (including the foldback and the control display, which I'm assuming consumes additional bandwidth on our network) so it would be nice to have both feeds generated directly from within easy worship.
We are already working on the Logo issue.
Currently it is not possible to have 2 NDI outputs for Alt out. There have been others that have requested similar things. We have been discussing the best way to handle these types of use cases where sometimes you might want to use the background designated in the presentation and other times you want something different or transparent. More to come on that in future releases probably.
3 Things we have notice.
First - When we use the arrows to pass slides it only pass at the main output, we have to use the mouse to pass both outputs (alt and main).
Second - It happining when I drag feed bg into songs in schedule, every time I pass slides it load the bg again, causing my screen showing a black bg then load my live cameras tha I recive by NDI as a bg, it is happining for each slide I select.
Third - Presentesion only appears in Main output, it don´t appears in Alt output.
I have the same with the .11 non beta. Powerpoint is black on the Live view
Problem with EW going to song select, web page problem, EW said download beta, did that. It fixed but there is a time limited on having the beta, what can we do. Need to get songs for SS
If you have not already down so you should create a ticket so that we can trouble shoot the issue with you.
Charlie, you can use the beta to import the songs from SS. The beta uses the same database as your 7.3 version, so if you reopen your 7.3 for your live service, you should see the songs you imported. We will also either have the full 7.4 released before the beta expires, or we will release another beta that extends the expiration. No need to worry! : )
can you show the shedule item via midi - you show the slide
For those of us that have been using the BETA live, it expires today (9-30), which leaves us in a bind come Sunday, and having to "backtrack"...can the BETA version be extended out so as to make it usable? The alternate output is something we have come to enjoy, especially for our live stream.
I believe that they released a non-beta version on the Download EW7 page.

Correct Don! If you have been using the Beta, 7.3.0.11 has been released as a full download. You can go to the link above to download and install it.
I wasn't sure as there hasn't been any official statement posted in the Forums or on the Website.
Love the alternate screen option but am so disappointed that text formatting is lost. Is this likely to be fixed soon please? We really need font colour and bold to be passed through to the alternate (and stage screen) if possible. Thanks.
Loving the new 7.3. Thanks to everyone who worked on it.
I'm probably not the first person to find it, but the settings for Display Copyright Information are only on the Main Output, and not on Alternate Output. Consequently, if you have enabled this, you have to have the same settings on your Main Output theme and your Alternate Output theme, even if you want different fonts on the different outputs. Please can you add these feature settings on the Alternate Output in the next update?
Many thanks.

If you do have a one-time purchase license and would like to play with/test the features, you can install the beta. You will just need to sign out of your account in the beta and run it as a demo to see the new features.
