RADIO STUDIO STOPWATCH
A professional-grade digital timer and recording time calculation system to support on-site work that requires precision down to the second.
Radio broadcasts, live television broadcasts, stage events, webinar streaming—in environments where time is measured down to the minute and second, precise time management and smooth coordination between performers and staff are crucial for success or failure.
"RADIO STUDIO STOPWATCH" is a standalone application developed based on feedback from actual recording and broadcasting environments. With just your PC, it provides a one-stop solution for everything from high-visibility time displays on performer monitors to immediate responses to unexpected delays or accelerations, and even length calculations for multiple takes.
Four core features that make this product the right choice
Independent 2-system timers (A/B timers) & quick fine-tuning: Individually manage the performer's time and the total time for the overall progress. Even if you need to rewind or push back during the performance, you can instantly adjust with a single click of "-1 minute / -10 seconds / +10 seconds / +1 minute" without stopping the timer.
Noise-free sub-monitor output for performers (multi-monitor compatible): Outputs a highly visible timer or studio master clock (current time) with no unnecessary menu bars to the performer's or speaker's external monitor. Precisely delivers the time to the studio booth or stage floor.
The "Transparency Adjustment Mode" allows you to overlay the timer screen's background onto presentation materials. This makes the timer screen's background semi-transparent, ensuring it doesn't interfere with slides or the live stream. This allows for smart timekeeping during webinars and online lectures.
Take Management & Automatic Length Calculator: Automatically determines the total length of multiple takes and any excess or deficit (± difference) compared to the target length in real time. This frees directors from complex calculation work after recording.
Equipped with a standard safety lock to prevent automatic PC sleep mode. No installation required; it can be used immediately on PCs in the field. Get professional field operation quality now.

Case 01: Radio program and podcast production
Maintaining the energy of the talk while simultaneously achieving precise timing adjustments and progress management down to the second.
During live broadcasts and program recordings, precise timing is always required, including judging when to push or pull back based on the flow of the conversation, and accurately timing commercials and jingles down to the second. This software simultaneously measures the total length of the entire program and the length of individual segments using two independent timers on the mixing console PC. Furthermore, it features an automatic timing calculation function that instantly determines any excess or shortage in each take. Since the time can be output in large letters to the monitor for the personality in the booth, it enables smooth time sharing without putting unnecessary pressure on the performer.
Case 02: Live TV broadcasts and live online streaming
放送枠への正確な飛び乗り・飛び降りと、突発的な演出変更に即応
In live broadcasts, precise timekeeping aligned with program slots and time synchronization between the on-site director, performers, and cameramen are essential. This software allows you to output the broadcast standard "STUDIO MASTER CLOCK (high-precision current time)" in full screen (F11) to the studio's monitor. Even in the event of unexpected problems or changes in the program's structure during broadcast, the software can instantly adjust the time with a single click of ±10 seconds / ±1 minute without stopping the timer, safely supporting the quality of the on-air broadcast.
Case 03: Event and Conference Management
By sharing time with speakers without the audience noticing, the overall schedule is prevented from being delayed.
In conferences and stage events with multiple sessions, exceeding a speaker's allotted time directly leads to significant delays for the entire event. This software allows you to send a countdown directly from your operator's PC to a dedicated monitor for the speaker located at the base of the stage. The high-contrast, large display allows you to see the remaining time at a glance, even from a distance. It also features an automatic sleep prevention function to keep the screen on even during long events, and a one-click reset after the session ends allows for instant switching to the next speaker.
Case 04: Online Webinars and Remote Lectures
A transparent overlay display that doesn't hide slides allows for a smooth lecture presentation.
ZoomやTeamsを用いたオンラインセミナーでは、別ウィンドウで時計を開くとプレゼン資料の文字やグラフが隠れてしまい、操作に気を取られがちです。 本ソフトは独自の「ウィンドウ背景透過モード」を搭載し、プレゼンテーション資料の左下などに半透明でタイマーをオーバーレイ表示できます。最前面固定表示（Always on Top）により画面切り替え時も常に時間を視界に捉えられ、講師自身が資料を確認しながら自然なペース配分で講義や質疑応答をコントロールできます。
