Media Machines (Overview)

Stream­lin­ing your Corps’ media needs.

We believe that pre­sen­ta­tion of media is an impor­tant aspect of many church ser­vices. There are many media-related needs that Corps run into every week — one Sun­day you might want to play a clip from a DVD and the next you might have a guest speaker with their own pre­sen­ta­tion needs. We under­stand the flex­i­ble nature of a wor­ship ser­vices, and that it’s frus­trat­ing when time and resources are lack­ing to coordinate all of those needs.

That’s where the CMD Media Machine comes in. We’ve designed this machine to address those needs in one con­ve­nient, easy to use pack­age. We’ve cho­sen the best pre­sen­ta­tion hard­ware and soft­ware that will han­dle any­thing thrown at it. Plus, with the CMD Media Hub, you’ll have access to tons of great cre­ative new media, ready to use out of the box.

Even though this is a pow­er­ful pack­age with lots of fea­tures, it's incredibly easy to use. 

Here's a little more detail:

It runs on the Mac.

We’ve cho­sen the Mac oper­at­ing sys­tem for a few rea­sons, but mainly because it’s incred­i­bly easy to use. All of your videos, images and music are eas­ily accessible and work straight out of the box. As well as that, the pre­sen­ta­tion soft­ware and apps we’ve tested run a whole lot smoother on the Mac. If you’ve never used a Mac before, there’s noth­ing to worry about — it’s not as scary as it sounds and we’ll help you pick it up.
 

Fea­tur­ing ProPresenter 7.

We’ve come a long way from OHPs. Now, with data pro­jec­tors and com­put­ers, we can choose from a wide vari­ety of soft­ware pack­ages that can pro­duce and dis­play media. Pro­P­re­sen­ter made the top of our list and we think you’ll enjoy the same things we did — excel­lent func­tion­al­ity, speed and ease of use. Plus, all of your old Pow­er­point pre­sen­ta­tions work seam­less­ly within the Pro­P­re­sen­ter envi­ron­ment. We’ve been using this soft­ware for Ter­ri­to­r­ial events since 2010.
 

CMD Media Hub.

The media machine is an evolving platform. We are consistently looking for ways to resource Corps and Centres with new and exciting visual and audio content for mission purposes. The CMD media library is a collection of audio and visual resources like sermons, music, promotional videos, campaigns, events and a lot more. These resources are designed to help you do mission easier and more effectively where you are!
