Auxiliary timer

The Auxiliary timer is a feature that allows parallel, free-running clocks alongside the rundown playback.
These timers do not affect the rundown but serve as an interface for tracking arbitrary events. For example:

  • how long is this section
  • countdown to a media playback end time

Controlling the auxiliary timer

The Auxiliary timer can be controlled in the Editor interface or through one of the APIs (follow docs for HTTP, OSC or WebSockets).

Display the auxiliary timer in the timer view

Additionally, you can display the secondary timer as a secondary field in the timer view.

This can be done in the Editor interface or through one of the APIs (follow docs for HTTP, OSC or WebSockets).
