PowerPoint and PDF into Resolume over NDI and Spout, with no monitor at all
Opens PowerPoint, with videos and animations, and PDF, and sends two 1080p outputs, over NDI and over Spout: the presentation and the presenter view. Built for the Resolume computer: it runs next to Over Timer, without touching the Windows displays.
The presentation comes in as an NDI source, just like a camera. Your scenes stay in Resolume.
vMix and OBS users
Any NDI receiver gets the presentation and the presenter view, with no capture card.

No monitor at all: the presentation reaches Resolume over NDI
Phantom Presenter opens no output window and does not touch the Windows displays. It sends two NDI sources to the network, and Resolume picks them up like a camera.
NDI 1, Presentation: the live slide, for the main screen
NDI 2, Presenter view: the speaker monitor

The real PowerPoint, with videos and animations
The file opens in the computer's own PowerPoint, hidden. What goes out over NDI is its slideshow, with everything the speaker built.
Videos, animations and transitions from the file itself
Click animations: the clicker gives the click, and the presenter view shows how many are left
Nothing pops up in front of the operator window: focus goes back to Resolume

Questions from operators
Do I need an extra monitor or video card?
No. The app opens no output window and does not touch the Windows displays. Both outputs go over the network, by NDI.
Does it need PowerPoint installed?
For .ppt and .pptx, yes. The app uses the computer's own PowerPoint, so videos, animations and transitions look the way the speaker built them. PDF opens without it.
Do I need to install NDI?
For the NDI outputs, yes: NDI Tools or NDI Runtime, both free from the NDI website. Without it, the app opens, but NDI does not reach the network. Spout comes with the app.
Does video sound go over NDI?
No. Both NDI outputs carry picture only.
Does it work on Mac?
No. Phantom Presenter is for Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
Can I test it at a real event?
Yes. The 7-day trial key, free when you sign up, unlocks the full app, with no watermark and no time limit. Without a key, Phantom Presenter opens in trial mode: 20 minutes, with a watermark on both outputs.
