Features: RF Ranger wireless mic monitoring

Live wireless mic monitoring

Every wireless channel on one screen, updated several times a second, in any browser on the network.

Battery as bars and percent, with runtime left, from the transmitter itself.
RF signal per antenna, with A/B diversity lights showing which antenna is in use.
Audio levels and a five-second waveform with the RF underneath: tell a wireless dropout from a bumped mic.
Readiness at a glance: green is ready, orange is off or on the charger, red is a low battery, a fault or an offline receiver.
Alerts for low and critical batteries, weak RF, interference, encryption faults, the wrong transmitter on a channel, and muted receiver outputs.
Transmitter model and ID, frequency, link quality and mute state for every channel.

Put it on a TV by the mic table. Each person gets a column they can read from across the room.

Their name and photo, from Planning Center or the receiver's channel names.
Which mic is theirs (RF-1, BP-3, …) and whether it's ready, charging or switched off.
Battery as bars and percent, or the charge while it sits in its charger.
Their in-ear pack alongside their mic: on air, RF muted, and its charge when docked.
Services Live countdown at the top of the screen, with the segment that's on now and what's next.
"Leading now" lights up whoever the live item's leader is.
Fits any screen by itself, with no scrolling on a TV; phones get two columns.

RF Ranger reads your Planning Center Services schedule (read-only) and puts the right people on the right mics.

Mic assignments from the schedule: give each position its mics once ("Worship Leader" → RF-1 to RF-3, "BGV 1" → RF-5), then sync.
Preferences: a person's preferred mic and preferred in-ear pack.
Automatic sync a set time before rehearsal, or at a fixed time each week; several services, each with its own rules.
Change any mic by hand after a sync; unconfirmed people and anyone left without a mic are flagged.
Starred mics make an artist preset of just the synced mics, so the pickup screen shows only who's on tonight.
Services Live: the live segment's countdown, the next item, and the item's leader, on the engineer and pickup screens.

On a shared network RF Ranger can see every receiver in the building. Presets keep each screen to the mics that matter.

Pick the channels for a room or a segment, in the order you want them.
Nicknames per show: RF-4 is "Sam" tonight.
Choose which preset the pickup screen shows, from the engineer view; or bookmark a TV to one preset.
Edit presets from any engineer screen on the network, such as an RF tech's iPad.

Shure PSM 1000 transmitters: channel names, frequency, RF output power, RF mute and stereo/mono mode.
Each person's in-ear pack shows next to their mic, paired by name or by their Planning Center preference.
Pack batteries through a networked charger bay. (IEM packs only receive, so they can't report their battery over the air.)

Shure SBC220 and SBC240: every bay's charge, battery health and time to full.
Give a mic its charger bay and a docked transmitter reads "on charger" or "charging" instead of "off".
Storage mode is flagged, so batteries left at storage charge don't go out on stage.

Finds receivers by itself on the network and names channels from their channel names, the way Micboard does.
Remembers devices, so a receiver that's switched off still has its channels on screen, and reconnects when it's back.
Add a device by IP address for networks where discovery can't reach it.
Read-only: RF Ranger never changes a setting on your hardware.
Device Inspector to capture a device's raw data, and anonymized device reports to help add new hardware.
Runs on the Mac or Windows laptop already at your RF desk; any phone, tablet or TV on the network opens it in a browser.
Free and open source (MIT), with update notices when a new version is out.
