Features
Production Deck is useful with only one or two integrations connected. Add more when you're ready, and try every one in simulated mode first.
Each module is a card on your dashboard. Big modules scale their text up; small ones shrink to a compact tile with just the key value, like "92.4 dB A" or "2 overdue".
Your selected playlist as thumbnails, laid out like ProPresenter. The live slide gets a blue outline and a LIVE tag, and a live strip shows the current and next slide with "Slide 3 / 10 · 7 left". Follow ProPresenter automatically, auto-scroll to the live slide, and choose small, medium or large tiles. With control on and the card unlocked, click to fire a slide, step next and previous, clear layers and run macros.
The plan's run of service by section, with start times, lengths, song keys as colored badges and item notes. The live item is highlighted with a countdown, and linked ProPresenter slides show a thumbnail on their row.
Times each item as it actually happens. Starts on its own at service time or when ProPresenter reaches linked content, or run it by hand. Runs red and counts up when an item goes long, and logs each item's average, minimum and maximum loudness.
Today's run of your pre-service checklist. Items carry a role and a due time, overdue items glow orange, and counters show what's overdue, complete and left.
One tile per wireless mic: who's on it, the channel, RF bars, battery percentage and whether the transmitter is off. Supports multiple receivers.
A big average SPL readout with Z, A or C weighting, fast or slow response, and peak, max, min and LAeq. Set loudness warnings for when the room gets too loud.
Everything on the SPL Meter plus a 1/12-octave spectrum, drawn as bars or a smooth curve, with optional Peak Hold and a whole-service Average Hold.
A muted live preview of your Resi stream with a LIVE or OFFLINE badge and the event name. With control on, Go Live and Stop Stream each ask you to confirm.
A muted 16:9 preview, a LIVE badge, the stream title and current viewers, or "Unavailable", never a fake zero. Read-only.
YouTube and Facebook comments in one feed, each badged YT or FB, so the team watches one chat instead of two.
The automation engine, live: the current item, the cue that fired for it, the song key with Key Up and Key Down, what's next, and recently fired cues.
4 to 16 big buttons. Each fires a cue of MIDI, Companion or HTTP messages, or an app command like Key Up or Next Item. Companion pads show the real button image. Pads can be locked.
A large readout, green while running. Generate timecode, follow time of day, or read LTC from an audio input, and send MIDI Timecode to your devices.
What's playing on the booth Mac with album art and a live playhead. With control on: play, pause, skip, seek, and Fade & Pause to ramp walk-in music down smoothly.
A large time-of-day clock and date. Monospaced digits mean it never jitters.
Eight one-click slots for what you need instantly, whatever is live: an announcement video, a "please stand" slide, a blackout. Drag a slide or media item onto a slot from the ProPresenter card. It has its own lock.
Every integration at a glance with its live status: Connected, Connecting, Stale, Disconnected, Unauthorized, Unavailable or Simulated.
Each one has an Enabled switch, a Use simulated data switch, a setup guide and a status pill. Turn on only what your booth uses.
| Works with | What it brings | How it connects |
|---|---|---|
| ProPresenter | Playlists, slide thumbnails, live slide, click-to-fire, clear layers, macros, Quick Cues | ProPresenter's network API. Control is off by default. |
| Planning Center Services | Plans, items, times, song keys, notes, and mic assignments from plan notes | One-click Connect with Planning Center. No API keys to copy. |
| Built-in SPL Meter | Room SPL and spectrum, logged per item into service reports | Any measurement mic on any Mac input, Dante Virtual Soundcard included. Calibrate with an acoustic calibrator.* |
| Smaart | SPL and RTA from Rational Acoustics Smaart | Smaart's API over the network |
| Shure | Battery, RF, transmitter on/off, multiple receivers | Network connection to Shure receivers. Find receivers… scans your network for you. |
| Resi | Live status, stream preview, confirm-first Go Live and Stop | Resi Go Live API, using an API client from Resi Studio (Pro and Enterprise plans) |
| YouTube Live Coming soon | Live status, viewers, chat, preview | Google sign-in, read-only |
| Facebook Live | Live status, viewers, comments, preview | Facebook sign-in, read-only. Requires registering your church's own Meta app. |
| MIDI, Companion and HTTP | Rules, cues and pads that drive other gear | MIDI interfaces, IAC and network MIDI; Bitfocus Companion 3 and 4; any HTTP webhook. Master switch off by default. |
| Timecode | Generate timecode, or convert LTC to MIDI Timecode | Built-in generator, time of day, or LTC from an audio input |
| Spotify | Now playing and transport for walk-in music | The Spotify app on the same Mac. No account details or API keys. |
* The built-in meter shows true dB SPL once calibrated with an acoustic calibrator; uncalibrated, it's an input-level meter. Connections to vendor gear use their published protocols, so test on site before relying on one in a service.
The setup behind the dashboard, one click away in the Tools menu.
Devices are what it talks to. Cues are named lists of messages. Rules say "when this happens, fire that". Pads put cues on dashboard buttons. The signature rule, Song Key → Cue, fires the right cue for each song's key from Planning Center, and Generate Key Cues builds all 24 in one click.
Also: per-item overrides, MIDI Show Control, a MIDI Monitor with a test input, and an Activity log of everything sent or skipped.
Mic slots mapped to receiver channels, and people with names and photos. Plan mic assignments reads the week's mic list from a Planning Center note ("VOX 1 – Gabe") and assigns everyone. It handles typos and different spellings, and never guesses when a match is unclear.
Reusable templates plus a dated run for each service. Items have roles and due times, overdue items stand out, and New Run starts the next service fresh.
Live status and a connection log for every integration. One-click Export removes passwords and tokens before it saves, so it's safe to send for support.
Show any view on a green-room TV or video system without a second Mac: a connected display, web browsers on your network (TVs, iPads, a Raspberry Pi, with a QR code to open it), or an NDI source. Display-only, with nothing to bump.
When a service finishes, a designed email goes out through your own mail server: how it landed against the plan, every item's planned and actual time, and loudness, with a CSV attached.
A read-only status page that phones and tablets on your local network can open. Off by default. Remote control is planned for a future update.
Production Deck runs on your booth Mac. There's no Production Deck account and no cloud service in between you and your gear.
