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
• time-to-end: Ontime will count down to the scheduled event end, regardless of start time
• clock: Ontime will display the current clock
• none: Ontime will display a placeholder --:--:-- when this event is playing

Time strategy

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