At congresses and conferences with many speakers and debaters, speakers generally have quite a tight speaking schedule; this can prove very difficult to follow both for moderators and speakers themselves in cases when a straight-forward, easy-to-use, and easily serviceable timing system is lacking.
KT Serviss offers the Soft Countdown device produced by Interspace Industries, a well-known professional conference equipment manufacturer.
This device is a combination of a computer programme, an extension interface, and a display.
It is controlled through a computer. Main features of the Soft Countdown timing system:
- Time count up or down
- Clock mode 12/24h
- Changeable font colour and size
- Optional ticker tape text across the screen
- Pause and restart time count
- Simultaneous and multiple time counts
- Convenient user interface
- Optional creating of speaker schedule
- Timing information can be displayed both on a separate discrete screen or on a publicly displayed screen
- Timing information can be displayed on the presentation control display
