eGigVision® 

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question is not answered below, send an email to FAQ@eGigVision.com

 

  • How do I use the import functionality to transfer information from 3rd party tools such as Finale or Sibelius into eGigVision®?

The eGigVision® Import File function is a virtual print driver. When you choose to print from any 3rd party tool it will appear in your list of printers. Selecting it will result in the creation of a file that can later be imported in the same manner as the "Hello My Baby" piano chart in the tutorial.

 

 

  • What is my System ID, what version of software do I have, and how do I get updates?

 You can find the System ID and software version by clicking on in the toolbar. You will be notified of any software updates when you start eGigVision® while connected to the internet. You will then be given a choice whether to download and install the latest version. 

 



  • Do I need an internet connection to run eGigVision®?

You do not need an internet connection to run eGigVision®. A internet connection is required however to register the software and to automatically receive any software updates.

 

 



  • Do I need additional software to display my laptop/LCD in portrait mode?

 The software will display in the default mode of the monitor it is on. However, during performance, each connected screen may be configured to appear in either landscape of portrait mode. 

 

 



  • Where can I find songs to load into my system?

 You may not legally load any copyrighted material into eGigVision® at this time. However, there are plenty of songs in the public domain and you can of course use any original material.

 

 



  • Can I send different instrument keys to each individual screen?

 Using the "concert" key is a method to organize your music. Lets say a song is entered in the concert key of "C". The different parts could each be in entered in the appropriate key for that instrument. When the song is chosen for performance, each player would see a chart for their instrument, and not have to do an on the spot transposition.

 

 



  • How do I purchase a keyboard shelf to mount on my music stand?

 



  • When I unplug the USB foot pedal and plug it back in, my computer does not recognize the device and it searches for drivers.  How can I overcome this each time?

 Each USB port keeps copies of drivers for each device attached to it. The first time a device is plugged into a USB port, the install new hardware dialog will appear. See the eGigvision® "Help" file for further discussion.

 



  • How many separate screens will work with the system if I purchased additional video cards?

 Windows XP and Windows 2000 both support 10 additional screens. If you need more than 10 screens, send an email discussing your application and its requirements to us.

 



  • I have written original songs and loaded them into eGigVision®.  How can I get these files sent to a friend that also has this system?

Use the Export functionality to dump the song to a file. You need to know the System ID of your friend's eGigVision® installation. Send the exported file which can then be Imported by your friend. See the eGigvision® "Help" file for further discussion.

 

 



  • In performance mode, when I make my set list, I would like to insert a song while in between songs.  Can this be accomplished or does eGigVision® place the song at the end of the list?

 You may right-click on a song in the Song List and perform it any any time.

 



  • What formats of Audio files does eGigVision® support?

It will support any audio files that can be performed with the Microsoft Media tool.

 

 



  • I want to play along with the audio files while reading my charts.  How do I get my keyboard/guitar mixed in with the signal so that I can play along?

  



  • Do any of my local music stores carry the stands or USB pedals?  If so, do you have a list of locations?

 If your local music store doesn't carry them, they can be purchased at www.musicdispatch.com .

 

 



  • I have multiple pages that go back to the Coda/D.S., how do I set the page feature?

 Look up "Set Performance Paging" under "Add Song"  in eGigVision® Help.

 



  • Can I save my set lists for each show?  If so, how do I do this?

 Look up "Save As Set" under "Help Topics"  in eGigVision® Help.



  • I have an old Windows 95 machine and would like to load the program.  Do you support Windows 95?

eGigVision® will only run on machines with WIN2K (Windows 2000, XP) or later versions of the operating system.

 



  • Are there any plans for support on a Mac?

eGigVision® will only run in Windows. However, if the MAC supports Windows (i.e., Boot Camp) it can run eGigVision®.
