Eclipse Guide

Everything Eclipse can do

Eclipse is a macOS operator console for live events, presentations, and stage productions. Preview every source on your Mac, then send video, slides, cameras, or web pages fullscreen to any external display — projectors, HDMI monitors, Sidecar, AirPlay, and more.

Display & output

Send exactly what you want to the audience — and keep confident control from your operator screen.

• Program preview

  A 16:9 preview in your main window mirrors what's live on the external display, so you always see what the audience sees.

• Fullscreen output

  Borderless fullscreen windows on any connected display, with smooth fade transitions between sources.

• Automatic display handling

  Eclipse detects projectors and monitors as they connect, and handles unexpected disconnects gracefully — no crashes mid-show.

• Freeze, blackout, and lock

  Hold the current frame, cut to black, or lock the output so nothing changes until you say so.

• Dual-display mode

  Advanced setup for driving two independent outputs at once — great for confidence monitors or multi-screen stages.

• Fit or Fill

  Set aspect behavior per media item so nothing gets awkwardly cropped or letterboxed.

• Program audio sharing

  Route your program audio into Zoom, Teams, or streaming apps with a bundled virtual audio driver — while still monitoring locally.

Media sources

Almost anything you can play, show, or capture on a Mac — Eclipse can send it to the screen.

• Images

  Build a library and fine-tune framing with the built-in pan/zoom editor.

• Videos

  Play, trim, loop, and mute. A visual filmstrip editor makes trimming quick and precise.

• Slideshows

  Sequence images together — and mix in video slides when you need motion.

• PDF

  Open PDFs in-app and send any page fullscreen to the external display.

• Web pages

  Embed live web content — Google Slides, Canva, or any URL — right inside Eclipse.

• Cameras

  Multi-camera cards, each with independent settings and assignments.

• Desktop & screen capture

  High-FPS capture of your whole screen when you need to show something live.

• App window mirroring

  Share a single application window instead of your entire desktop.

• Mobile screen

  Mirror an iPhone or iPad over USB using CoreMediaIO — no extra apps needed.

• PowerPoint

  Drive PowerPoint decks live, with a presenter replica in your operator view and automation that hides PowerPoint's own presenter view.

• Overlays

  Add a persistent watermark or graphics layer on top of any source.

• Card overlays

  Template-driven info cards — like a Wi-Fi name + password — anchored to any corner of the screen.

• Presentation packages

  Import and export entire shows as .eclipse files, so you can move a full setup between machines.

Live event tools

Purpose-built helpers for the moments where you can't afford surprises.

• Countdown timer

  A movable on-screen countdown with play, pause, reset, and preset durations for common cues.

• Global keyboard shortcuts

  Configurable, system-wide shortcuts so you can drive Eclipse without switching windows.

• Quick Switcher

  An overlay grid for jumping between sources fast — great for high-tempo shows.

• Phone remote

  A lightweight web remote over your local network for slides, blackout, and source changes from a phone or tablet.

• EclipseCast

  Discover and pair with EclipseCast receivers on your network to cast content wirelessly.

• Presenter mode

  Privacy controls that keep PowerPoint's presenter view off the audience screen.
