Key features

Seasonal frames

Seasonal frames dress the Stage Screen for the time of year. A detailed, animated border sits over everything on the screen, our shows and the venue's own content alike, with small moments every couple of minutes and a big moment every few minutes, like Santa's sleigh sweeping across the bottom of the screen. Seven frames are ready now, with more on the way through the year. The animations switch off with one tap.

Read the full description

The Show Box is the operator's home for every show. It is installed once on the venue's show Mac and runs entirely offline. The Operator Desk tab shows what is live on the Stage Screen with a live preview, loads the next show to its holding screen, and puts it on the Stage Screen with a smooth fade when the host is ready. The Admin tab handles the screens, the iPad desk, the venue's licence and health checks, so set-up stays out of the way on show night.

Guests join phone games straight from their browser by scanning the QR code on screen, with nothing to download. An iPad can take over the desk over the venue Wi-Fi, so the host can run the show from anywhere in the room. Built-in health checks and automatic recovery keep the show running if anything hiccups.
