Properties tab – Timer
The timer counts downwards to the indicated time. When the time is reached it counts onwards. The time can
either be inserted in 24 hours mode or in am/pm mode. Therefore the respective option button must be se-
lected. With the Tomorrow checkbox additional 24 hours are added to the specified time. With the Foreground
and Background list the colors for the foreground and the background can be chosen.
Properties tab – Stopwatch
The Stopwatch object provides advanced timer functionality. Start and stop point of the timer must be indicated
(Start at and Stop at). A time period of up to 24 hours can be set. Time is specified in the form HH.MM.SS or if
the Frames checkbox is selected in the form HH.MM.SS.FF with the frames counting from 0 to 24 (for PAL
sources only).
If the Countdown checkbox is selected it is counted downwards from the indicated time difference unless zero.
If not selected it counts the opposite way around.
Alternatively the object can be used as a clock which shows the time of an LTC signal which is inserted via the
D15 connector of the overlay input card. Therefore enable the use LTC checkbox.
By means of the lists in the lower part of the tab the appearance of the object can be determined. Font specifies
the font type and size, Foreground specifies the color of the writing before start time and at the beginning of
counting, Transition is the color of the writing in the last 10 seconds before stop time is reached. At stop time
the writing gets the color determined in the Destination list. The Background color remains all the time un-
changed.
