Remote Client Management

In a live production environment, Ontime will have multiple connections to its server.

• Operators reading their cues
• Confidence monitors onstage
• Public schedules displayed in the foyer
• Automation systems like Companion or Central Control

It is sometimes desirable to be able to modify what is shown to the clients from a central place in Ontime’s interface.
This is especially the case in devices with no input (such as PA displays), but also for productions where we prefer having tight control over the system setup.

To support this workflow, Ontime provides two key features:

URL Presets

Create easy to remember links that point to specific views in Ontime.
This makes it simple to set up and share configurations, like a custom view for a camera operator or sound engineer.
See the feature documentation.
