In the attached picture is a simplified diagram of our auditorium tech setup for Proclaim. Currently both the front screens show the same current slide from Proclaim. This is desirable in most instances (announcement slides, song lyrics, videos, etc.). Is there a way for Proclaim to show the current slide on F2 and P1 (see diagram) while holding a previous slide on F1.
Reason for question...Our Pastor uses Logos and sends his slides to Proclaim with that integration. He often has supporting passages for points that he displays on the screens. He would like to leave his point up on F1 and show the passages on F2. Once he moves on to the next point F1 and F2 would "sync" back up for the next point and both show the same current slide until he has more supporting passages. Hope that helps.
Some additional information:
- Proclaim has access to all 4 screens individually shown in the diagram
- We use NDI to send lower thirds to our live stream booth
- All screens are connected via HDMI over Shielded Cat6
- P2 is setup as a "confidence" monitor in Proclaim showing the next slide and needs to be unaffected for this situation
We are not looking for a hardware solution to the issue. Our projectors don't have "freeze" capabilities - and we aren't wanting something that will complicate the running of presentations by the tech team (i.e. remembering to push an external button to hold an image on one screen and then push the button again to release it back to live slides). Hoping that Proclaim can handle this or they will find it a useful option to add to their system.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Thanks for the question , There's not a way to do this at present, but you can get pretty close. Sounds like the way I would do this is the same way Adrian would: 1. Set your displays to use Slides at stage left (F2), and make a virtual screen for stage right (F1) and set it mirror. (Both will show the same thing by default.) 2. Create a Content item with the points. It's been exported from Logos, you can just use what you have. Copy the text using ctrl / command + C. 3. Add a Bible item with your supporting passage. Again, if it's come from Logos, you can move to the next step. 4. Click your virtual screen that corresponds to F1, then select the text field and paste in the text from the Content item. This will show you the point on that slide, and show the passage as the current slide on F2 and P1.— Edited
At OMS Japanese Christian, I've a list o' parts for a Workstation for 篠田之室 Shinoda Hall that CAN do the job ye wish; but as explained, no Preview feed for Slides currently exists in LOGOS® Proclaim®. The Preview feed may be worthy of a Feature Request at LOGOS® Feedback™. In Shinoda Hall, I've feeds preplanned for Application (1920x1200px, or alternately 2560x1440px, for the Operator o' the projection 'puter); Slides (viz., for 1920x1080px); Alternate Content (1080x1920px in Portrait mode, as the 日本語 Japanese language is historically written in columns, right to left, and at-fonts, e.g. @TITUS Cyberbit Basic, are distributable as workarounds for row-oriented software); and Confidence (1440x1080px for TelePrompTer® head-up displays). Notes should be offloaded to a USB 3.x video-display adapter (DE-15F for VGA/XGA).- I do something similar to what Adrian describes. For the points showing in the sanctuary I add a space and then the fill in the blank function with an invisible character in it. For the livestream always "on-air" overlay, there are completely blank slides with one of the points in between. Advancing the slide puts the point on the front screen and "on-air" and the next slides takes it "off-air" with no noticeable change to the front screens, depending on the transition style. I've been keeping this blank character in the notes of various slides for years to manipulate text layout so I don't remember which character it is and couldn't find it after an hour of searching. It doesn't have an Alt-Code, you'd have to copy it from the Character Map. If you need it, I can email it to you in a text file or a Proclaim presentation file. The two screenshots show the 2nd-4th slides in full. Perhaps you can do something similar to what I've done with the overlay screen for your F2 screen, adding a text box to the appropriate slides to put the scripture in.
