One screen
Running order, preview, programme, output status and live controls stay visible together.
Built for reliability
Designed for dependable local playback, repeatable preparation and fewer points of failure when the service is live.
Confident live control
Move through every cue with clear status, deliberate control and confidence about what happens next.
Control from anywhere in the room
Use authorised phone or tablet control when the operator needs to move beyond the workstation.
Operator cockpit
Everything the operator needs when there is no room for uncertainty.
Tribute Director keeps the running order, current output, standby media, readiness checks and recovery controls exactly where the operator expects them.
A running order you can trust
Build the entire service in sequence — music, video, images, slideshows, spoken moments and lyrics — so every cue is ready before it is needed.
Know what the audience will see
Keep programme output, holding screens and black screen controls visible so there is never any doubt about what is on screen.
Catch problems before the service
Identify missing, invalid or unverified media during preparation — while there is still time to fix it calmly.
Fast, deliberate live controls
GO, preview, resume, fade out, holding screen and black screen are presented as clear, deliberate operator actions.
Live-service workflow
From preparation to the final cue, Tribute Director gives the operator a clear, repeatable path through the entire service.
01 Prepare
Build the running order, confirm service details, prepare the holding screen and attach all required media.
02 Verify
Run the pre-service check and resolve anything missing, invalid or uncertain before the audience arrives.
03 Rehearse
Rehearse the sequence and verify cues without committing them to the live programme.
04 Run
Advance with GO, return to holding when needed, and keep the programme output under control.
05 Recover
Use fade out, holding screen, black screen and event logs when a service needs a controlled recovery.
Coming Soon: Tribute Creator
Create beautiful, professional tribute videos with a simple, funeral-focused workflow. Collect photos from families via a secure upload link, arrange and enhance them with backgrounds, motion and transitions, automatically fit the slideshow to selected music, then send a lightweight preview for family approval before rendering the final service-ready MP4.
Simple to create. Easy to approve. Ready to play.
Media control
Built around the way funeral services actually run.
Tribute Director is designed specifically for live funeral media operation — bringing songs, tribute videos, still images, slideshows, lyrics, pauses and fallback screens into one coherent workflow.
Music and playlists
Handle pre-service music, opening songs, closing songs and post-service loops from the service file.
Tribute video
Keep tribute videos in the running order with clear readiness and playback state.
Slideshows and images
Use visual sections for single images, generated holding moments or tribute slideshows.
Lyrics
Advance lyric screens through the service without treating them like a separate presentation problem.
Holding screens
Keep a safe, branded visual fallback available before, between and after media.
Output and audio status
Make HDMI, programme audio and master level state visible to the operator.
Room-aware operation
Stay in control, wherever the operator needs to be.
Tribute Director supports the practical reality of chapels, crematoriums, funeral homes and portable AV setups where the operator may need both screen confidence and room awareness.
Phone and tablet remote
Pair authorised local devices so a trusted operator can control key service actions away from the main workstation.
MIDI and hardware mapping
Map physical controls for common live actions such as GO, pause, fade and black screen.
External programme display
Present to a connected HDMI display or browser programme output while keeping the main workstation as the source of truth.
Operator event log
Record meaningful actions and warnings for troubleshooting after the service.
