Broadcast Timer for Studio-Grade Show Control

Live broadcasts demand precise timing. StageTick syncs your on-air countdown across the talent monitor, director's desk, and control room -- all from a browser, no hardware box needed.

The Challenge with Broadcast Timing

Broadcasts operate on hard deadlines. A segment running 30 seconds over can derail the entire show rundown.

Hard commercial breaks

Advertising slots are fixed. If the segment before a break runs long, either content gets cut or sponsors lose airtime.

Large crew coordination

Floor director, camera operators, audio engineer, graphics operator -- everyone needs to know the countdown to the next segment change.

Expensive hardware timers

Professional broadcast timers cost thousands per display. Adding more screens to the studio means buying more hardware boxes.

Remote production

Modern broadcasts often have remote directors or producers. Hardware timers are local to the studio and can't be shared remotely.

How StageTick Helps

Browser-based studio timer that scales to any number of screens with zero additional cost.

On-air countdown everywhere

Open the fullscreen view on every studio monitor, talent teleprompter, and control room screen. All showing the exact same countdown with zero drift.

Cue the talent

Send "Wrap up", "30 seconds to break", or custom cues directly to the talent monitor. The floor director doesn't need to wave hand signals from off-camera.

Full show rundown

Program your entire show: segments, commercial breaks, bumpers. Import from CSV. Auto-advance keeps the show moving at broadcast pace.

Remote director access

Directors and producers working remotely see and control the same timer as the in-studio crew. One shared room, any location.

How It Works

1

Create your show room

Sign up and create a room for your broadcast. Import your show rundown from CSV or build it timer by timer.

2

Program your rundown

Set up timers for each segment, break, and bumper. Configure auto-advance and warning thresholds for on-air precision.

3

Deploy to every screen

Open the fullscreen URL on studio monitors, talent screens, and the control room. The operator controls everything from one device.
