Purpose-built media control for funeral services
Tribute Director brings music, video, tribute media, lyrics, display control and remote operation together in one workspace designed for real services, not generic presentation work.
Features at a glance
The page is organised around the workflows that matter most during a service: preparation, verification, presentation, room control and recovery.
Operator cockpit
Keep the running order, preview, output status and live controls in one clear workspace.
Live-service workflow
Move from preparation to verification, rehearsal, live operation and recovery without changing tools.

Manage music, tribute video, images, slideshows, lyrics and holding screens in service order.
Room-aware operation
Control from the workstation, a paired local device or mapped hardware where appropriate.
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 clear path from preparation to the final cue
Tribute Director gives the operator a repeatable service process: prepare, verify, rehearse, run and recover.
Build
Create the running order, attach required media and prepare the holding screen.
Check
Resolve missing, invalid or uncertain media before the audience arrives.
Preview
Move through cues without committing them to the live programme.
Operate
Advance with deliberate controls and keep the programme output under control.
Stabilise

Built around the way funeral services actually run
Songs, tribute videos, still images, slideshows, lyrics, pauses and fallback screens sit together in 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.
Stay in control, wherever the operator needs to be.
