### NexaLive — Cloud Audience Engagement Platform

### How They Integrate

NexaDeck and NexaLive are designed to work together as one seamless platform:

1. The DJ's local song library syncs from NexaDeck to NexaLive's cloud
2. Audience members scan a QR code and browse the DJ's actual catalog
3. Song requests flow through NexaLive's cloud relay to NexaDeck
4. NexaDeck matches requests against the local library with fuzzy matching
5. The DJ accepts requests and they enter the singer rotation
6. NexaDeck plays the track with CDG lyrics, pitch/tempo control, and multi-display output
7. The Mobile DJ Panel lets the DJ control the show from any device on any network

The core show (NexaDeck) runs entirely offline on the DJ's hardware. NexaLive cloud features enhance the experience when internet is available but never gate it.
