1. Licence USB stick — into a USB port. It must stay connected at all times, also while working; without it the program will not start (see Licence).
2. Monitor, TV or projector for the speaker — into HDMI 1. A second screen (e.g. for the director) — into HDMI 2 (see Second monitor and two HDMI outputs).
3. Network (optional) — LAN cable or WiFi, if you want to control the timer from a phone, a tablet or vMix / OBS.
4. Stream Deck (optional) — into a USB port.
5. Power supply — connect it last. The device switches on by itself.

1. After start-up the touchscreen shows the mode selection:
2. 1 Program language — tap a flag: Polish, English, German, Spanish or French. The change is immediate.
3. 2 Conference Timer — speakers, countdown of talks, messages on the screen (chapters 4–17).
4. 3 Broadcast — studio clock for radio, TV and podcasts: ON AIR and show time (chapters 18–20).
5. 4 Launch directly — tick it and the device will skip this screen on the next start and open the last selected mode.

Result: Tapping SELECT opens the chosen mode. You can change the mode at any time (see Choosing the operating mode).

1. 1 Menu — all program functions (see step 2).
2. 2 SERVER — green dot: the browser panel, vMix / OBS and Stream Deck over the network can connect.

3. 3 RESET — back to the set time (the timer stops).
4. 4 +1m +5m — add 1 or 5 minutes.

1. 1 Time field — tap and type on the on-screen keyboard. Minutes alone are enough (25 = 25:00), or minutes and seconds (7:30).
2. 2 Direction — ↓ counts down (time left: 25:00 → 00:00), ↑ counts up (time passed: 00:00 → 25:00).
3. 3 SET — loads the typed time into the timer.
4. 4 Quick times 5m … 60m — one tap sets the time. Change the list in Settings → Presets.

Result: The new time is visible at once in the preview and on the speaker screen. The timer waits for START.

The program tracks how much time is left and goes through four phases. On the speaker screen the colour of the digits changes and the progress bar runs from blue to red:

1. normal — more than 20% of the time left: green digits.
2. warning — 20% of the time or less left: orange digits (first screenshot).
3. danger — 10% of the time or less left: red digits, the background turns slightly red (second screenshot).
4. overtime — after the time: the timer keeps counting the overrun with a minus sign, the digits are pink and flash (third screenshot).
5. The name of the current phase is also in the status bar at the bottom of the device screen.
6. The preview on the device screen shows exactly the same as the speaker screen: the same time format, phase colours and blinking. Set the strength and speed of blinking after zero in Display.

1. 1 Import CSV/XLSX — load the whole list from a file (step 4).

6. 6 Edit / Delete — change or remove a single talk.

1. 1 Tap a talk — it gets selected.
2. 2 Load time — the time of this talk goes to the timer and the window closes.

Result: The timer shows the speaker’s time and waits for START. The programme never starts or stops the countdown by itself.

1. 1 Full name — who is speaking.
2. 2 Lecture title — topic of the talk.
3. 3 Start time (optional) — planned time; without it the item works normally, it just does not count towards the delay.
4. 4 Duration (minutes) — 1 to 120 minutes.
5. 5 Notes (optional) — e.g. microphone number, technical remarks.
6. At the bottom of the form tap Save — the talk is added to the list.

Prepare the whole agenda on a computer in Excel and load it from a USB stick. The first row of the sheet holds the column headers — the program recognises them by name, in any order:

1. start (or: hour, start time) — planned start time, e.g. 09:40. Optional column.
2. name (or: speaker) — who is speaking.
3. title (or: topic) — topic of the talk.
4. duration (or: time, minutes, min) — length in minutes.
5. notes (or: comments) — any text. Optional column.

2. 4 Times when a talk overruns — times stay as planned (the delay is shown) or shift from the current time.

1. 1 Add message — a new message on the list (step 2).
2. 2 Star — marks favourite messages (three at most). Starred messages appear as buttons on the main screen, under the speaker panel (see Main screen), and first in the browser panel.
3. 3 Send — the message appears at once on the speaker screen and in the preview.
4. 4 Clear — takes the message off the screen.
5. 5 Edit — change the text, font, size and colour.
6. 6 Bin — deletes the message from the list.

1. 1 Text — the content, typed on the on-screen keyboard. Keep it short: a few words work best.
2. 2 Font — typeface on the speaker screen. The same 21 fonts as in Clock style and Display.
3. 3 Size — text size (move the slider).
4. 4 Color — text colour: ready colours or any from the picker.
5. Below is Preview — how the message will look on the screen.

Result: At the bottom of the window Save adds the message to the list. Send it with Send from step 1.

1. This is how the speaker sees the message on their screen (HDMI): under the time, in large letters. The preview on the device shows the same, smaller.
2. To take the message off, tap Clear message on the main screen or Clear in the message list.

1. Time — large digits in the middle: how much is left (or how much has passed if you count up).
2. Message — under the time, when you send it from the message list (see Messages for the speaker).
3. Progress bar — how much of the talk has passed.
4. Clock — current time at the bottom of the screen.
5. Connected — in the corner: a green dot means the screen is connected to the program and shows the current time.

1. On the main screen tap the enlarge button in the corner of the preview — the preview fills the whole touchscreen.
2. The ✕ button in the bottom right corner goes back to the main screen.

1. 1 Switch next to Signal 1 — the signal works only when it is on.
2. 2 By percentage — e.g. “when 50% of the time is left”: it fires halfway through every talk, whatever its length.
3. 3 By minutes — e.g. “when 5 minutes are left”: always 5 minutes before the end.
4. 4 Value — percentage or number of minutes. Below the field the program shows what it means in practice.

1. 1 Sound — Built-in gong works out of the box. Change loads your own file (WAV, MP3, OGG, M4A), Built-in goes back to the gong.
2. 2 Volume — volume of this signal.
3. 3 Screen flash — a coloured frame at the edges of the speaker screen and the preview. Its duration and colour are set next to it.

1. 1 Show current time — the current time on the speaker screen, next to the countdown.
2. 2 Size, Font, Position and Color — look and place of the clock (six positions: top or bottom, left, centre, right).

1. 1 Enable message flashing — a new message flashes on the speaker screen.
2. 2 Stop when the target is reached — off: after zero the timer counts the overrun; on: it stops exactly at the set time.

1. 1 Overtime blink strength — 0% - the digits do not blink, 100% - they go fully dark. Default 20% — a gentle blink.
2. 2 Blink speed — the length of one blink: from 0.3 s (fast) to 2 s (slow).
3. The blinking looks the same on the speaker screen, in the preview on the device and in the browser views.

1. 1 Time format — MM:SS (minutes and seconds; a one-hour talk is 60:00) or HH:MM:SS (always with hours, e.g. 00:05:00). The same format shows on the speaker screen, in the preview on the device and in the browser.
2. 2 Font size — size of the digits on the speaker screen (move the slider).
3. 3 Font family — typeface, 21 to choose from: from technical ones (e.g. Share Tech Mono, Orbitron) to classic ones. The same list is in messages, Display and Broadcast. Georgia, Helvetica, Verdana and Tahoma are not installed on the device — a similar substitute font appears instead.

1. 1 Enable Glow Effect — a soft glow around the digits, like on a studio display.
2. 2 Preview — shows at once how the digits will look.
3. 3 Text color and Background color — colour of the digits and of the speaker screen background: ready colours or any from the picker.

1. 1 Enable clock mode — the speaker screen shows the current time instead of the timer.
2. 2 Time format — 24- or 12-hour clock.
3. 3 Show seconds and Show date — seconds and the date under the time. Further down: Date format, Font and Color.
4. Size — a slider from 60 to 400 px (digit size on a Full HD screen). The clock always fits completely: on a smaller monitor or in the 12-hour format it shrinks by itself.

1. A large current time instead of the timer — during a break the room sees what time it is. The timer does not disappear: when you turn the mode off, it comes back exactly where it was.

1. 1 Show title — turns the text on the speaker screen on.
2. 2 Title text — tap the field, type the text on the on-screen keyboard and confirm with ✓.
3. 3 Font — typeface of the text. Further down: size, colour and position (top or bottom, left, centre, right).

1. The text stays above the time for the whole event — also during the countdown.

1. 1 Enable background image — turns the image on on the speaker screen.
2. 2 Select File — pick the file on a USB stick (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP). The program copies it to the device, so you can remove the stick afterwards. Clear removes the image.

3. 3 Admin Panel — QR code to scan with a phone, or the address to type into a browser.
4. 4 COPY copies the address, OPEN opens it on the device.

1. In the Remote window, below the control panel, come further views — each with an address, a QR code and copy buttons.
2. Timer Display (/timer) — the speaker screen in a browser: for a projector, a second monitor or the programme feed.
3. Alpha (/alpha) — the time alone on a transparent background, to overlay on a camera picture.
4. Broadcast (/broadcast…) — studio clock templates (see Broadcast templates).

1. The full 16:9 speaker screen — time, progress bar and clock. Good for a projector via a laptop or a screen in the control room.

1. The digits alone on a transparent background (shown on white in the screenshot). In vMix and OBS the background disappears and the time is overlaid on the picture.

1. vMix: Add Input → Web Browser → paste the view address (e.g. http://<device address>:5001/alpha), resolution 1920×1080.
2. OBS: Sources → + → Browser → paste the address, width 1920, height 1080.
3. Copy the address with COPY in the Remote window or scan the QR code.

1. Connect the Stream Deck to a USB port of the device. The program detects it by itself (with Auto-connect on).

2. 2 Label — text on the button.
3. 3 Background and Text Color — button colours.

Result: At the bottom of the panel Save — the Stream Deck button shows the new text and colour at once.

1. 1 Brightness — brightness of the button backlight.
2. 2 Auto-connect — the Stream Deck connects by itself when plugged in and after the device starts.
3. 3 Reset to Defaults — restores the factory button layout.

1. The WebSocket/HTTP API tab describes control over the network — e.g. from Bitfocus Companion on the director’s computer (the same Stream Deck, but connected to the computer, not to the device).
2. 1 Server status — WebSocket and HTTP ports and the number of connected programs.
3. 2 Address for Bitfocus Companion (Generic HTTP → POST) — the ready address of this device. Replace PIN with the code from PIN.
4. 3 Copy — copies the address; every command below has the same button for its ready JSON.

1. The commands are grouped, each with a description and a ready JSON to paste into Companion:
2. 1 Messages — a message from the device list (number from 1, the same look as on the device), any text up to 200 characters with its own colour, or hiding the message.
3. 2 Speakers — next and previous speaker from the programme.
4. 3 Broadcast — ON AIR, OFF AIR, rehearsal, template choice and show duration.

1. 1. In Companion add a Generic HTTP connection.
2. 2. On a key add a POST action: the address from the API tab (with your PIN), the body — JSON copied from the command list, type application/json.
3. 3. An example page for 15 keys: row 1 — START/PAUSE, RESET, -1 min, +1 min, 10:00; row 2 — previous and next speaker, “5 MINUTE BREAK” (message no. 1), “MICROPHONE!” (any text), hide message; row 3 — ON AIR, REHEARSAL, next template, +5 min show, reset show.
4. 4. To make the ON AIR key light up when on air, read the state address in Companion (Generic HTTP → GET) and set the key colour from the broadcast.status field.

1. As long as no PIN is set, the Remote control is locked bar appears when you open the timer.
2. 1 Set PIN — goes straight to setting the code. Later closes the reminder.

1. 1 Status — whether remote control is protected by a PIN.
2. 2 New PIN and Repeat PIN — 4 to 8 digits, the same twice.
3. 3 Save PIN — saves it. All logged-in phones and computers must then enter the new code.

1. 1 Log out all — logs out all phones and computers (e.g. after the event).
2. 2 Require a PIN for remote control — turn off only on a closed, trusted network: the panel then works without a code.
3. 3 Allow Stream Deck API without a PIN — for Bitfocus Companion and plug-ins without a PIN field.

1. 1 Status — large text: OFF AIR, ON AIR (in red) or rehearsal.
2. 2 Elapsed and Show duration (minutes) — how long the show has run and how long it should take.
3. 3 ON AIR — start of the show: the countdown starts, the monitor and the tally go ON AIR.

2. 2 Thumbnails — tap to choose. The monitor changes at once.
3. Back returns to the quick settings.

1. Director’s dashboard: status, elapsed time, duration, clock, progress gauge and a large ON AIR with the time to the end. The digits adjust their size to the screen by themselves — they always fit on any monitor.

1. A dark layout with a large time to the end, a progress dial and a status bar.

1. Minimal: just ON AIR / OFF AIR on the whole screen — like the light above a studio door. In the quick settings Show OFF AIR decides whether to show OFF AIR when off air.

1. A round studio clock: 60 LEDs around the digits. Off air — time and date, on air — time to the end of the show.
2. Your logo can sit under 12 o’clock (step 6).

3. 3 System volume — volume of the whole device. It multiplies with the volume of each sound.

1. 1 Enable end sound — a sound when the timer reaches 00:00. Select loads your own file (WAV, MP3, OGG, M4A).
2. 2 Volume and Test — volume and preview.

1. 1 Installed version — the version you have now.
2. 2 Update available — the number of the new version and the list of changes (What's new).
3. 3 Install and restart — the device downloads the package, checks its signature, installs it and restarts the program (usually a few dozen seconds).

1. If the program does not find the licence stick at start-up, it shows this screen instead of the timer.
2. What to do: connect the licence stick (or take it out and put it back, preferably into another USB port) and tap Retry.
3. If that does not help — shut the device down (see Shutting down and restarting), check the stick and switch the device on again.

1. 1 Last settings — a profile created automatically. Before every profile load and before factory settings, the device saves what was there, so you can always go back.
2. 2 Load — switches the device to that profile. To USB stick saves it as a .tprobox file to move it to another device.
3. 3 ⋯ (More) — Rename, Overwrite with current, Delete.

1. 1 Factory settings — the device asks for confirmation and restores the settings right away.

1. Tap Shutdown on the top bar.
2. 1 Yes, shut down — the program closes and the device switches off. Wait a few seconds until the screen goes dark and only then disconnect the power.

1. 1 System Restart → Restart — the device starts again (about half a minute). Useful when something stopped responding or after connecting new hardware.

1. Symptoms: the second monitor goes dark or is not detected, the licence stick “disappears”, a USB sound card or Stream Deck works intermittently, the device restarts by itself.
2. What to do: use the power supply delivered with the device. A regular phone charger does not have enough power when a monitor, Stream Deck and USB stick are connected at once.

1. Take out the licence stick, put it back (preferably into another port) and tap the retry button. Details: Licence.

1. Set the right orientation in Settings → Display — see Display.

1. Check the HDMI cable and the monitor power, then Refresh in the second monitor settings. A monitor connected after the device started is sometimes detected only after a restart. See Second monitor.

1. The phone must be on the same network as the device. Check the panel address in the Remote window (QR code). If the hotel network blocks connections between devices, use your own router or a hotspot. See Browser panel.

1. Check which output is active, the system volume and the monitor volume, then Play test sound. See Sound.

1. The device touchscreen always works without the PIN — set a new code in Settings → Security. See PIN.

1. Restart the device — see Shutting down and restarting. If that does not help, disconnect the power for 10 seconds and reconnect it. Settings and the event programme are kept.
