Stage Clock for Livestreams – nail every take
Livestreams, webinars, and video productions live by their timing. Ad breaks, segment lengths, presenter slots – everything needs to hit the second. UbiStage Timer gives the presenter, camera team, and production the same picture.
Why Standard Timers Fall Short
In a studio or remote production, the same problem quickly surfaces: production has a timer on their laptop, the presenter runs their own phone countdown, and the camera operator checks the studio clock. Three different time states, three different signals.
- Presenter overruns their segment because the production timer isn't visible
- Camera operator cuts in while 20 seconds of the intro are still playing
- Ad break countdown doesn't match the stream overlay
- Multiple people start manually – drift of several seconds
UbiStage Timer in Livestream Production
UbiStage Timer synchronizes all devices on the local network through a single host instance. Production starts the timer – all other displays jump at the same time. No internet, no cloud service, no latency.
Millisecond-accurate
Camera monitor, presenter display, and production iPad all show exactly the same time – at the same moment.
No Internet Required
Runs on the local studio network or a hotspot. Independent of stream platforms like YouTube or Twitch.
Traffic Light Feedback
Green → Yellow → Red. The presenter knows without looking at production when the segment is ending.
Ready in Seconds
No OBS plugin, no third-party software. Open the app, connect, start the timer.
Typical Setups
Webinar with host and expert guest: Production runs on a laptop, the presenter sees the segment countdown on their iPhone. No shared screen, no chat signal needed.
Studio production: iPad at production as host, iPhone with the camera operator as display ("15 seconds to take"), iPad for the presenter showing segment remaining time – all in sync.
Hybrid event with livestream: The live audience and online viewers shouldn't notice if a segment runs long. Production discreetly signals the end on the presenter's display.
Podcast recording with time targets: Each episode has fixed blocks (intro, interview, outro). The recording host controls the timer block, the co-host sees the countdown display.
Setup in 60 Seconds
No internet access needed – a local network is enough.
Enter segment duration, configure traffic light thresholds.
Presenter iPhone, camera iPad – all find the host automatically.
Production stays in control, everyone else sees only the countdown.
UbiStage Timer is now in public beta – free on the App Store.
