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
