The Ontime device connects Fabl to Ontime, the event and rundown timer, so your show can drive the countdown the stage and gallery are watching — and react when that countdown changes.
Connection
Provide the host and port of the machine running Ontime.
Commands
Playback
Timer display
Auxiliary timers
Ontime has three auxiliary timers alongside the main one:
Rundown
Binding Set message to a field on your page puts live show data on the studio timer — the next guest’s name, or a note to the presenter — without anyone typing into Ontime.
Triggers
Rules can react to:
- The Ontime connection changes
- The playback state changes
- The loaded event changes
- The timer phase changes — warning, danger, or overtime
- The on-air flag changes
The phase trigger is the useful one for a director: a rule can fire when a segment crosses into danger or overtime, cueing a wrap signal or a graphic automatically.
State
The device reports its connection state, the playback state, the loaded event’s id, title and cue, the current timer phase, and whether Ontime is on air.
