I would like to pick all of your brains here if I may.
We have a turnkey system we bought about three years ago and we are really happy with it. I want to move this system to our Youth worship facility because they are using nothing but powerpoint for their worship services on Wednesday nights. In order to do that of course we would need to purchase a new computer for our main worship facility. I know the specs to run SSP V7 and I know this computer surpasses them quite nicely especially since I did some recent upgrades. I want to know what you guy's dream machine would be if faced with making this decision for your own churches and what features I should consider for the future. We are a medium sized church on a tight budget but I don't want to sacrifice quality.

Thanks!

R-Technics does produce systems designed to SSP that are about the same as what you would spend for a Dell system, but without all the junk software. You might give them shot. I know the last time I newegged a system, it would be more than the balpark price R-Technics gave me.

As far as what I would use, it would be a 2.8-3.2 single core w/ as much L1 and L2 cache as I could find, 4GB of the fasted RAM available (or I could afford), 2 160GB SATA HDDs that are Striped RAID, two DVD-R+/RW with WinDVD 4 or 6 and Nero Burning Rom, The best NVidia card I could afford, and MS Office 2003 that includes Excel and PPT.

I would consider putting the new PC in the youth center as they are more likely to use the high end graphics that require all that processing power. Once they learn what it can do for them, that is.

Thanks for the advice Tom. You would think that would be the case but the Youth only have one service per week in the youth hall. They have a song service with about four or five praise songs and watch a great video lesson on DVD called FUEL. The song lyrics are projected using powerpoint and an ancient computer. The "business" is shown on the screen between songs. I want to get them SSP in a bad way. The computer that we now have will do whatever they could possibly need for that small service. I actually have a pretty good graphics card ATI X700 installed in it. The youth now days just don't seem to be as impressed with cool high end graphics as much as the young (or in my case maybe not so young) adults. It is something they grew up with and just take for granted. 

Our regular services are far from contemporary. I guess you could call them blended with a slight touch of Southern Gospel. Believe it or not though the graphics I have put out there have gotten nothing but positive feedback. I frequently use worshipfilm.com's long plays for songs, and Digital Juice jumpbacks. Another reason I would like the high end computer in the main sanctuary is because our media room is a great work place and I will be able to work on other media arts utilizing the same system.

I know there is someone out there who has put together a dream system. Share the specs please.

Our primary projection computer is almost 4 yrs old now, 2.6GHz, 1 GB with a 533MHz FSB, using ATI 9800XT.

1. You're buying a brand new system and still want to use a 533MHz FSB? Maybe the V7200 can't absorb any more, I don't know, but it's worth looking into, especially since in your case the memory is feeding two cpu's.

2. Beyond good hardware, performance is also affected by codec's. They are hard to fix because nobody identifies what codec (brand and rev number) a given brand of video file requires. I have some avi files from mfgr A that play smooth but other seemingly identical files from mfgr B that don't.

3. I updated DirectX 9.0c on the primary projection machine to the Aug 2006 version. What harm can that do, right? But now audio streaming from a radio station doesn't work on the songshow limited account, only on the admin account. And I don't know how to fix that, either.

My dream system would be something that would ONLY be used for projection and wouldn't have folks on it the rest of the week creating web pages and such.

Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) is nice to have on the projection computer, for last minute graphic tweaks. PPT is needed, so having Word and Excel along for the ride is good for pounding out last minute notes for the projection operator.

But my dream system would not be used as anyone else's workstation. It would remain a projection only machine.

Hey, you said we should dream.

Keep in mind that your second monitor only needs to support the same resolution as your projector(s).

So if your projector natively supports 1024 x 768, you may be able to pick up an older 15" LCD the supports that resolution.

Trying to run a 1280 x 1024 monitor (which most 17" LCDs are) at 1024 x 768 is rarely a pretty sight.

I don't' know if those speakers are an upgrade or not, but I wouldn't buy speakers for the projection computer. The few times that I need sound from the computer that doesn't run through the sound board, I grab a pair of headphones.

Speakers would be more clutter and 2 more sets of wires there in the sound board/projection booth (wherever this is located).

The ATI FireGL V7200 may be the wrong kind of card to get the most out of SongShowPlus. Hopefully someone from R-Technics will chime in here on that.

CyberLink's PowerDVD does not install the necessary drivers for SongShowPlus to show DVDs and/or MPEG2s. You will want to also include a separate purchase of Intervideo's WinDVD. See System Requirements.

It used to be the case that SSP worked best with WinDVD 4 or 6, not necessarily 7. I don't know if that is still the case, but since it's mostly the CODECS that SSP needs, you can get an older version from eBay and have it work quite nicely with SSP.

You didn't mention keyboard or mouse. Some folks like to get a wireless keyboard and mouse to try to reduce wire clutter. But I think it's just one more thing that could go wrong.

That system is very expensive, and not well suited to SSP.  Go to Support->Knowledge Base and click the link, "Click here for SSP System Requirements."  In that list are the recommendations for "Full Graphics Mode, Extreme Performance."  You should be able to build a system for less cost with better performance than the Dell.

The Xeon processor is more expensive, aimed at a different market, and may introduce problems.  The ATI FireGL (and the NVIDIA Quadro) costs a lot (the V7200 costs over $700), and is again aimed at a different market and may not even work correctly with SSP. 

SSP does not support Cyberlink DVD.

If you stick with the parts listed on our system requirements link, you should have a fantastic SSP experience, and for less money as well.  The "Full Graphics Mode, Extreme Performance" parts are exactly what you want for a "Dream System."

In summary, the Dell you are looking at costs more, runs slower, and may not even run SSP correctly.  It is simply intended for a different purpose, such as high-end workstation (CAD) or server environments.

Have you guys had a chance to look at whether the Xeon process does, in fact, cause problems?

There is currently no data regarding Xeon performance / problems, but we do not officially support Xeon. Considering the extra cost, there is good motivation to stick with a mainstream processor.

OK. I'm currently communicating with a guy trying out SSP and the machine he has to try it on is a a dual Xeon 3.0 Ghz with 2 gig of RAM and a Quadro card and was getting occasional stutters.

So I was trying to explain to him why it might not work well on that system.

I think I've got him convinced to try the laptop that they are currently using at thier church for projection.

We Currently have been Running a Xeon 2.4 ghz machine for 3 years. It does NOT run as smoothly as i would like it to. We have numerous little hang ups. We also have 1gb of ram. We have an ATI FireGl X1 AGP Pro dual 256mb vbideo card. We are looking to replace this computer this summer and move it to the teen room. We will be having a computer built to ssp specs. This computer does have Hyperthreading but it is turned off.

IF you're running SSP V7, you can turn hyperthreading back on.

An ATI Radeon will work better than a FireGL, from what I hear.

I found the place to install the older version, however it only has December and no September. Please let me know where can I get a file or whether it's saved somewhere on the PC.

The Downloads Page should has December, September and before.

Thank you so much. You saved my life again. I tend to mess up with SSP during our conferences. Today is our second day and I'm glad it's back to 2009 September Edition. Unfortunately, developers cannot pinpoint the problem to why the text changed.

I'll renew my license when uni-code is integrated.

God bless.

RE: Official Status by chapelbythesea in User Support - V7 on Windows 7

Just to let you know, the Win 7 compatible release downgraded usability on my Win 7 machine, as compared to the non-Win 7 compatible previous release. The issues raised are posted in the Windows 7 User Support forum. One person suggested uninstalling and reinstalling with Cinematic FX disabled.

I haven't tried because I don't have time to mess with it. Will wait to hear that all such surprises have been cleared out.

Issue with Cinematic FX by Cleber Caldas in User Support - V7 on Windows 7

Just moving the discussion from "March 2010 Edition Available for Beta Testing" forum to this one as suggested.
At least for me, as described below, it was solved by not installing Cinematic FX, though we lose this plugin functionality, obviously.
Not sure if it will solve Ken's problem too, though I think so. I am only copying/pasting his post.


17 Mar 2010 05:36 PM  

Greetings, I do hope that the Windows 7 compatibility will be fully worked out by the time this one comes out. The December version is virtually unusable on my Windows 7 workstation, I am sorry to report to you. I went back to September edition. (Dec edition works fine on our XP presentation machine.)

Here are the issues my near-brand-new Windows 7 Professional has with Dec release of SSP:

1) Red "X" close button non-functional
2) "Exit" on menu non-functional 
      (ctrl-alt-del only way to close out Dec SSP on Windows 7 Professional OS)
3) "Program" drop-down menu non-functional
4) "Songs" drop-down menu non-functional
5) "Song/Edit" context menu non-functional

Thank you

Ken Rosentrater

17 Mar 2010 09:08 PM  

I had the very same problem while I was trying out the December Version with the Windows 7. After some "trial and error" process, I found out the problem is related to the "Cinematic FX" collection.

Try to uninstall and reinstall it without the Cinematic FX option (unselect it when reinstalling SSP). It worked fine for me. Good luck.

P.S.: We run Windows 7 Professional 64bit Brazilian Portuguese version with a NVidia Geforce GT250 512MB video card.

March 2010 Beta - How to use Color Improv link is missing by George in SongShow Plus Beta Release Articles

Color Improv is included as part of the new Improv Collection and it appears in the Plug-ins panel that is typically at the bottom of the SSP Control Panel.  This tab is supposed to have a "How to use this plug-in" link similar to the Background Improv with basic instructions.  This omission was an oversight and it will be added later.

 The Color Improv is an advanced effect that allows on the fly hue adjustment and can be applied from the advanced effects tab in the display properties anywhere it is present.

One thing to keep in mind when using this is that Color Improv is a Hue adjustment and not a color filter so when applying this the result may be very subtle depending on what the original color or colors are.

This is pretty cool so have fun with it!

RE: Unstable for me by iamgap in Beta Test Support


I haven't yet updated to the latest release. Was this resolved? If not, it just happened again on the 2/24 beta.

It hung when switching from one song to another. One had the clouds animation with an image overlay @ 25% transparency and 100% size. The next had a Shift Worship MPG file (praise in cliff).

In order to get it to pop an Alert!, I clicked the SSP task (on the Windows Task Bar) three seperate times. The second reported Not Responding, the third popped the Alert!.

3432 - Hint: Ssp: Unable to use fill type: Video File. Reason: Unable to use video file due to it's slow response time

I have a pretty long trace file if you would like it. The video file is in the SSP Video directory, on the local HDD.



EDIT: I edited the file type from WMV to MPG, as I realized it was one of the few MPG types we still had. I also downloaded the WMV version, and used that after restarting SSP, without issue.

RE: Recommended Professional Level Video Cards (DI009) by George in Display Issues

*******ALERT*******

There has been a reported fan speed issue related to the NVIDIA 196.75 video driver. Consumers are reporting low video card fan speeds, overheating and hardware failure.

LINK TO NVIDIA DRIVER NOTIFICATION

This particular driver is not one that was recommended by the SSP Team, however there may be cause for concern if you recently updated your video drivers.

NVIDIA has removed the 196.75 driver version from the download area but it is worth checking your system to ensure you do not have it installed.  If you have this driver installed the recommendation is to uninstall it immediately and install an older driver.

RE: LogMeIn.com by fbcgoshen in Tips & Tricks

I use logmein every week to set up my program. As a matter of fact i just got done setting up the service for tomorrow using this. It comes in really handy if you are unable to attend a service and they are having issues. I have corrected monitor settings and what not from my office or lazyboy.

The other thing is we have a digital mackie mixer hooked to a different pc. I am able to run the board from home. I am able to work on the live audio feed from home since you don't always know what is going on with the feed at the church. I can also help other sound techs when they have issues.

I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is free unless you want the advanced features. It is also a good way to keep office computers going.

RE: How to use ssptimer files by akins in User Support - V7

Just select the type you want (5 min, etc.) from the list and place it in the program. You can then edit the timer changing font, size, color (just two), placement, and two lines of text. Actually, the editing choices are fairly limited and have been the subject of wishes for sometime, but you can usually play around and get a decent look. Right clicking on the timer in the program and selecting "display properties" at the top of the list will allow you to add background color, images, and/or videos and you can apply "advance effects" to any of these.

Right-Click copy/paste menu does not work in PPT song import panel (TS098) by George in Troubleshooting

Symptom:
During a Song import from PPT the right-click menu is no longer available in the Slide Text box when importing song text from a PPT.  This may cause difficulty in editing content. Import is still possible and text entry and deletion are possible, only the right click menu is affected.   

Possible Cause:
Unknown - the root cause of this is still under investigation.
 
Possible Solution:
Import is still possible and text entry and deletion are possible.  The CTRL-X, CTRL-C and CTRL-V keyboard shortcuts work as well.  If a significant change in the arrangement of the text in the PowerPoint file is needed, this can be done using Microsoft PowerPoint.

H.264 videos or thumbnails may cause SSP to be unstable and lock up (TS097) by George in Troubleshooting

Symptom:
H.264 Video or thumbnails may cause SSP to be unstable and lock up when added or viewed.  

Possible Cause:
It appears that there are some H.264 video that can cause trouble in SSP. At this time this is very rare, however, the root cause of this is still under investigation.
 
Possible Solution:
This was discovered using movie trailer files that would play fine in applications other than SSP.  At this time there is no solution but it is best to try a different file to make sure it is not a wider issue.  Please contact the Support Team and provide the video file for analysis.

RE: Audio clip doesn't restart when slide show restarts by George in User Support - V7

Hmm - Interesting...

I just tried this using blank slides entered as program elements and got the same expected behavior I described before.  Are you using "blank" blank slides (default blank slide is black color only) or do you have something else set for your blank slides?

I would say at this point if the behavior persists and you can duplicated it, contact the support team so they can do a remote with you and actually see what is going on.

RE: SSP Version 5.5 with SongSelect Online by iamgap in User Support - V5.5


I too would recommed that you backup/archive/zip your current R-Technics folder and install the evaluation of version seven. If the PC cannot handle it, which I doubt, do a complete uninstall of Version 7 and go back to version 5.5.

It is my understanding that version 7 is much more stable, and can function more efficiently on an older machine than version 5.5 can.

RE: 32bit vs. 64bit by iamgap in User Support - V7 on Windows 7


To add yet another fly into the ointment...

I didn't realize that my MoBo has a 4 year old (2 yr older than the mobo) chip on it (intel 945). So even though the processor and motherboard can support up to 4 GB of RAM, the chipset can only address 3.2 GB of RAM.

What I am most upset about is that the board advertised that it could support up to 4 GB of RAM, but didn't say it could only address 3.2. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bought this board. Time for an upgrade. Now I gotta find a board that supports the RAM that I just bought for this board.
