Operator interfaces

The same timing system.
Wherever the operator works.

Aion’s browser-based architecture keeps the rack, control room, front-of-house, talent displays and tactile controls synchronized around one operational state.

Aion browser interface

Integrated touchscreen

The complete administration interface is built into the appliance.

The 14-inch 2560 × 720 OLED touchscreen presents timing, routing, transport, settings, GPS status and video overlay controls directly at the rack.

Browser administration

Move the control surface to the operator.

Authorized administrators can use the same interface from a workstation or tablet. Viewer mode allows timing status to be displayed without exposing configuration controls.

  • Password-protected administration
  • Open viewer mode for monitoring displays
  • Real-time push updates through the built-in web service
  • No special client software for browser operation

Video overlay control

Position, style and verify the timing overlay from the same browser interface.

Control X/Y position, font, text color, background opacity, border styling, displayed fields and the selected LTC audio channel. The panel also reports video format and reference-lock state.

  • SDI or HDMI configuration selected at order
  • Automatic format detection from SD through 4K30
  • Optional frame-rate and user-bits display
  • Live LTC embedding on one selectable audio channel from 1-16
TCV Android timecode viewer display

TCV display

Put synchronized time where talent and staff need it.

The TCV Android application turns customer-supplied displays into dedicated viewer screens for control rooms, green rooms, confidence monitors and distributed production areas.

  • Android 8.0 and later
  • Viewer-focused deployment without configuration access
  • Flexible display sourcing and screen sizes
  • Kiosk-style presentation for permanent installations

Speaker Timer

One interface for presets, countdown behavior and confidence-monitor messaging.

Each speaker profile stores duration, warning and critical thresholds, acceleration ratio and optional welcome, warning, critical and expired messages. The selected preset can be recalled from the touchscreen, a browser or Stream Deck.

Pass-through overlay

Keep Presenter View and timing on one monitor.

Feed an HDMI or SDI source through Aion and position the countdown and messages without replacing the presenter’s own content.

Overlay on black

Hand a clean key source to the video system.

Disable the input and output timing graphics on black for downstream keying, selective routing and multi-screen productions.

Acceleration

Change the visible pace without changing the production schedule.

The configurable acceleration ratio can make the displayed countdown advance faster while the underlying event timing remains controlled.

Stream Deck Bridge

Tactile control without running USB to the rack.

The bridge application connects the operator’s Stream Deck to Aion through the network, supporting elapsed, speaker and beat-clock workflows from the actual operating position.

Cross-platform bridge

Control follows the operator.

Run the Stream Deck Bridge on the workstation at front-of-house, in a control room or at a studio desk. The hardware does not need to be physically attached to Aion.
