Master Control Module

The Master Control Module allows one Master ProPresenter station to remotely trigger slides and Video/Image Bin contents of one or more networked ProPresenter Slave stations. Each Slave station can have its own content suitable for its output, so it can be the same or different material than the Master station.

The ProPresenter stations must first be networked together. To ensure that all signals are properly sent to the Slave stations we recommend using a wired network, though a wireless network will work.

Once the computers are on the same machine, head to the Slave computers, and in the Network tab in Preferences click on Enable Network, then click on Enable Master Control, then select Slave. Note that the Network Name at the top will be autofilled, but you may want to update this if you need to clarify between different computers. The Port will also autofill; this rarely needs to be adjusted.

Next, on your Master computer, after you have Activated the Master Control Module, click on the Network tab in Preferences, click on Enable Network, then click on Enable Master Control, then select Master. At this point you should see your Slave computers listed.

Click the Connect button for each of the Slave stations. Optionally, you can also check the Reconnect checkbox which means that this station will always automatically connect when it becomes available.

From this point, when you click on a slide on the Master station, the corresponding slide will be displayed on the Slave station. For example, if you click on the first slide in the first playlist document on the Master station, the first slide in the first playlist will be displayed on the Slave station.

Similarly, when you click on an item in the Video/Image Bin on the Master station, the corresponding item will be displayed on the Slave station.
