ShowTiming

Shared control-room & stage timer

One countdown for the operator and the stage. A show plan you can run live.

ShowTiming is for live events where the person timing the show and the people on stage need the same time left — without giving everyone the power to change the timer.

Operator screen

This is the main desk: start and pause, move through your show plan, change the time if needed, and send a short message to the stage.

  • Start, pause, resume, and reset
  • Add or remove seconds while the show is running
  • Jump to the next part of the show
  • Send a short message to the stage screen

Optional: fullscreen timer

If you need an overlay, a fullscreen link exists — it is not the core workflow.

Show plan

Before the event, list each part of the show and how long it should last. Notes stay with the part that’s currently running.

Warnings & stage message

Everyone sees when time is running short or over. Your short message appears on the stage screen without opening the operator tools.

How everyone stays in sync

The operator screen is the source of truth. Stage screens only display that same time. If a screen reconnects, it catches up — it doesn’t invent its own clock.

Warning

When the operator changes something, stage screens update from the same source — so nothing drifts apart.
