# RenewedVision ProPresenter

> Control ProPresenter 7 from your rundown - slides, messages, timers and capture - with live slide, timer and layer state.

The **ProPresenter** device controls RenewedVision ProPresenter 7, so a rundown item can trigger the right slide, put a message on stage, or start a timer.

## Connection

Provide the ProPresenter machine's **host** and its **network API port**. The **status poll interval** sets how often Fabl re-reads what is on screen.

## Commands

ProPresenter is driven across four areas:

| Area     | What you can do                                    |
| -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Slides   | Trigger a presentation and move through its slides |
| Messages | Show or clear a stage message                      |
| Timers   | Start, stop and reset timers                       |
| Capture  | Start and stop capture                             |

A presentation can be addressed by its UUID or by name - a name is resolved through the libraries - or as the one that is currently **active** or **focused**.

Message text supports tokens, so a stage message can carry live values from your page rather than fixed wording.

## State

ProPresenter reports an unusually rich picture of what is on screen, and all of it is readable in a rule condition:

* The text of the slide now on the audience output, its UUID, and its presenter notes
* The text of the slide queued next
* The active presentation's name and UUID, and the slide index within it
* Timer name, UUID, state - stopped, running, complete, overrunning or overran - and its value at the moment it changed
* Capture status and how long it has been running
* The current stage message, empty when cleared
* The current look
* Whether the slide, media, audio and prop layers are showing

<Tip>
  Because the **next** slide's text is reported as well as the current one, a rule can prepare something ahead of the take rather than reacting after it.

## Triggers

Rules can react to the connection changing.
