Using the AirCast Receiver in ProPresenter

ProPresenter is able to receive and display content streamed from Apple devices over a local network. This feature is accessible as a video or audio input in ProPresenter, allowing seamless integration with Apple device displays. This AirCast function is to be used as a video input only. 

 

Utilizing AirCast Inputs in ProPresenter:

Once the AirCast Receiver is configured and the input is created, it operates as any other video or audio input within ProPresenter. The AirCast Receiver in ProPresenter is ideal for a variety of real-time applications. Presenters can use an iPad to draw or annotate directly on their ProPresenter screens, providing a dynamic, interactive experience. Additionally, this feature makes it easy to stream a live FaceTime call from a missionary or guest speaker on the mission field, allowing audiences to engage directly with remote individuals.

AirCast support in ProPresenter does not support streaming from YouTube, or other streaming sites. Users can still transmit videos using Screen Mirroring.

 

Adding the AirCast Receiver

    • To enable the AirCast Receiver, navigate to the Inputs page in ProPresenter Settings.
    • Select Add AirCast Receiver to begin the setup process. At this point, a prompt will appear to install the necessary plug-in. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the plug-in installation. This plug-in is only necessary to be installed the first time that the AirCast Receiver is used.
The plug-in provides additional functionality which makes the AirCast Receiver work with many versions of Airplay. For more on the plugin, you can find the license here.

Naming and Customizing the AirCast Input

    • Once the plug-in is installed, assign a name to the AirCast input internally for ProPresenter to use, as well as an AirCast Display name which will be available on your Apple devices.
    • A password can also be set for the AirCast connection by enabling the AirCast Password option and entering the desired access code. This adds a layer of security to the AirCast session.
