External Video

OnSong is designed to take full advantage of the external video capabilities. The output can be changed to four different modes depending on your needs. The external video settings screen provides advanced options for customizing external video output.

Screen Mirroring

When this is turned on, OnSong will act like other apps in iOS/iPadOS where the screen is simply mirrored. This is a handy feature if you are using the video output of the device to prepare tutorial videos or for training purposes. This is off by default since the OnSong^® app is designed to take control of the entire external display.

Lyrics Projection

Lyrics projection allows you to use chord charts to display lyrics on a projector for congregational worship or group sing-a-longs.

Stage Monitor

Stage Monitor Mode allows your device to turn one or more HDTVs into virtual music stands. Configure options for output with these settings.

Multiple Outputs

If you are needing more than one type of video output, you can use an HTML video processor to split the video output to multiple displays.

Restore Video Configuration

This option, this is enabled by default, will restore the last known configuration for each unique screen when plugged in. For instance, if you connect to a stage monitor, it will configure the display for stage monitor mode, but if connected to your video projection system, it could use lyrics projection.

Hide Icon When Inactive

The Menubar contains the External Video Menu which is displayed at all times by default. Toggle this option on to only have the icon appear in the menubar when an external video device is connected.
