End Action	Internal defines potential automation for when an event ends
Timer Type	Internal defines a method for the counting of the running timer

End action

An event end-action refers to automations to the rundown that may occur once an event finishes (reaches 00:00).
This is unrelated to how the timer is displayed and concerns only to rundown automation.

• none: Event will reach 00:00 and continue playing into negative numbers
• stop: Event will reach 00:00 and the rundown will stop
• load-next: Next event in the rundown will be loaded
• play-next: Next event in the rundown will be loaded and started

Timer type

An event timer-type informs Ontime on how the timer show be presented.

• count-down: Ontime will count down the duration of the event
• count-up : Ontime will count up from when the event starts
• clock: Ontime will display the current clock
• none: Ontime will display a placeholder --:--:-- when this event is playing

Count to end

Usually Ontime will count to the total event duration, regardless of when it is started.
The difference is often reflected in offset.

If count to end is active, Ontime will instead count down to the events scheduled end, regardless of the start time. 
No offset is added unless the event is considered to be in overtime.

Time strategy

An event timer-strategy informs Ontime on how to calculate changes to timers when events are linked.
