Countdowns, clock and stopwatch

The timer scenes are in Functions › Timers. The app comes with four: “10-minute countdown”, “10:00 start”, “Clock” and “Stopwatch” (named in the language it first opened in). You can edit, duplicate or delete them, and create your own.

Project a scene#

1. 1

   Click the scene: it appears in Preview, standing still.

2. 2

   Click GO LIVE. A countdown or stopwatch that was never started starts by itself.

3. 3

   With its controls, under Preview and in the Live panel, you can Pause, Resume or go back to the start. On a countdown, drag the bar to add or take away time.

You can also start it in Preview, without projecting it, and send it live later: it carries on from where it was.

When it reaches zero, the scene changes by itself depending on how it's set up: a message (“Welcome!” in the ones the app comes with), warning colors, or the number disappearing.

Create or edit a scene#

1. 1

   Click Scenes…, below the list.

2. 2

   Click New scene or choose one from the list.

3. 3

   Choose the Type and fill in the time. In Duration, “10” means ten minutes; MM:SS and H:MM:SS work too. In Time, a time today in 24-hour format, like 10:30.

4. 4

   Type the top line and the bottom line (for example, “Service begins in”) and choose the background, the font and the colors. The preview shows how it looks; Preview the end shows how it looks at zero.

5. 5

   Save with the floppy disk.

Countdowns also have:

• End message replaces the bottom line when it reaches zero.
• Colors as it nears zero changes the number's color when time is almost up and when it runs out.
• Count below zero keeps counting after zero.

Scenes go in the schedule too: select one and click Add to schedule, or drag it.
