In order to ensure the fastest and most efficient ceremony, with the least amount of errors, we scan our gradpasses at one location prior to the stage, while utilizing an external keyboard to advance the names. This creates a buffer of names, but prevents us from being able to see the last scanned name due to the length of of the buffer (approximately 20 people). This allows us to troubleshoot any accidentally scanned or missing names before users cross the stage.

The ability to see the full list, including this buffer, in a vertical screen format 1080x1920, while still outputting the lower third names in a horizontal format 1920x1080 would ensure that we’re able to see all the names that have been scanned and confirm correct order.
