> This guide is for event admins who want to run Live Show on a big screen or projector.
|
||
|
||
## When is this relevant?
|
||
- You want new uploads to appear live on a large display.
|
||
- You need a stable flow with moderation, effects, and hardware guidance.
|
||
|
||
## Prepare Live Show (Admin app)
|
||
1. Open the event and go to **Live Show settings**.
|
||
2. Choose a **moderation mode**:
|
||
- **Off**: every photo appears immediately.
|
||
- **Manual**: photos are held in the Live Show queue.
|
||
- **Trusted only**: only approved sources are auto-added.
|
||
3. Set the **pace** (auto or fixed seconds), **layout** (single/split/grid), and **effect preset**.
|
||
4. Save the settings.
|
||
|
||
## Open the Live Show link
|
||
- Open the Live Show URL in the format `/show/<token>` on the playback device.
|
||
- Share the link only with staff who should control the show.
|
||
|
||
> Tip: The Live Show player is read-only and works without login.
|
||
|
||
## Moderation during the event
|
||
- Open the **Live Show queue** in the admin app and approve new photos.
|
||
- Use **"Approve + Live"** to publish to gallery and Live Show in one step.
|
||
- Act quickly on sensitive content (policy: ≤10 minutes).
|
||
|
||
## Effects & layouts (recommended defaults)
|
||
- **Film Cut** + **Blur last**: calm, professional look.
|
||
- **Shutter Flash**: more energy for party and gala moments.
|
||
- **Grid Burst**: best for high-volume uploads and big screens.
|
||
|
||
## Recommended projector setup
|
||
**Minimum (works):**
|
||
- Laptop with Chrome/Edge, 8 GB RAM
|
||
- HDMI cable (5–10 m)
|
||
- Projector ≥3000 ANSI lumens, 1080p
|
||
|
||
**Recommended (stable):**
|
||
- Mini PC or laptop with dedicated GPU
|
||
- Ethernet connection (USB‑C → Ethernet adapter)
|
||
- Projector ≥4500 ANSI lumens, 1080p/4K, 16:9
|
||
- HDMI 2.0 + active HDMI extender (10 m or more)
|
||
|
||
**Optional:**
|
||
- HDMI splitter (additional displays)
|
||
- Presentation clicker for quick focus switching
|
||
|
||
## Screen & projector tuning
|
||
1. Set resolution to **16:9**, scaling 100%.
|
||
2. Enable fullscreen (press **F** in the player or browser F11).
|
||
3. Disable sleep mode and screen lock.
|
||
4. Disable OS notifications.
|
||
|
||
## Network & stability
|
||
- Use 5 GHz Wi‑Fi or (better) Ethernet.
|
||
- Avoid guest Wi‑Fi for the player device.
|
||
- Keep the playback device **online at all times**.
|
||
|
||
## Common issues
|
||
- **Photos not showing:** check moderation mode, clear the queue, reload the Live Show link.
|
||
- **Stutter:** reduce effect intensity, switch to Single layout, check Wi‑Fi.
|
||
- **Black screen:** verify projector input, toggle browser fullscreen off/on.
