Explainations of the Jargons needed

Samuel Stone

I am confused with the jargons proclaimed by the Proclaim.  I need to undertand them before I can convince my church to purchase the license.

What do you mean by "On Air"?  Does it mean when it is On Air, people can watch it at home, or just in the congregation?  If it is only for the congregation, why do they need it if they can see it on the big screen in front of them?  If it at home how is the voice being broadcast along with the slides?

These things should be on the support page.  What does a signal do?  It seems that it broadcasts the message to people's cell phones and tablets.  But, there is no technical information of the nature of the result each signal is trying to achieve.  Is donation signal for the attendees only?

I am pretty much a geek, but after receiving the news about the Proclaim software, I couldn't get a good picture of what it does, except "it's just another presentation software, like MediaShout.  I've been ignoring it because each time I came to this site, none of the presentation vidoes gives an impactful introduction of the features of this software.

If I am lost, I am sure my fellow pastors would be totally lost, considering they are much less geeky than I am.  Now we are invited to download the software for FREE AGAIN.  I've downloaded before and deleted it because I couldn't try it unless I pay for it.  If I can't test drive it, how could I recommend it to my church?  So the whole FREE DOWNLOAD thing is just a waste of time.

The point is, your marketing sucks!  But I can see the potential of it after digging on this website for several hours.  God bless you for your attempt to lead on the cutting edge.  I hope you can come up with an introduction video that tells more about what this software can do and will be doing, like that of Corning's "A Day Made of Glass."  http://youtu.be/jZkHpNnXLB0

Grace and peace!

On air means that it is being shown by projector or screen in the building.

On certain slides (bible) you can broadcast to apps on some mobile phones.

Signals can be picked up by those tuning in in the immediate vicinity - you might get some rushing in to make a donation/

Far from it. If you download the software you can test all the functionality - albeit with a watermark on the projection slides. For any service you could create a similar run in Proclaim and test it on your system. You could even, I suppose, explain the watermark to the congregation and run it for a service or two to test the reception.
