How Do I Display a Timer?

The count-up Timer is useful to display on digital signage to keep track of days passed since an incident, event or accident occurred within your organization. The countdown timer tracks the amount of time left until an event starts. For example, a company event or even happy hour. Using this timer allows you to count up or down to a specific date on your digital signage screen.

For businesses that often have important deadlines, many find it difficult to give an easy-to-reference but noticeable picture of how much time is left. With the Timer feature, you’ll be able to display a countdown for important company deadlines or events. Use the clock feature to give context to the event or activity. This feature works best in easy-to-reference displays such as breakrooms or office signage which employees will be able to easily reference with a quick glance. With a variety of themes available, you’ll be able to choose which display works best for your business.

Timer Features

Here are some other features of using the Timer feature:

• Build anticipation: Add the message you want to show during the countdown and the message that will appear after the build-up.
• Easy-To-Manage Feature: Choose from ready-made themes to quickly set up your timer and start tracking your events and activities.
• Customize Your Layout: Set the style of the timer e.g. define the delimiters (separators between the time segments), the labels of the days, hours, minutes and seconds, and the title.

What You’ll Need:

• A compatible digital signage player e.g. Mvix, BrightSign, etc.
• Mvix CMS Software with a supported feature package
• Internet Connectivity
