New Features and Improvements

Tip: This document contains animated graphics. If you are viewing as PDF, we recommend the web version.

Completely new layout creation experience

  • We re-imagined the way you create your timing screens. In this new version you get a full 24 x 24 grid, where you can freely place your timers.

Client-server model

  • Since this is a web application, you need only install it once, it can then be accessed anywhere on same the network.

Agnostic user device support

  • As it's a web application, you can use it on browsers running on a variety of operating systems and devices, including your phone.

Consistent and readable

  • In the old desktop Timing Display, the text is stretched to fill a cell.
    In this new one, we optimize font size for a consistent, easily readable look.

Familiar defaults

  • We have kept the default layout from the desktop Timing Display, to ease the transition for anyone familiar with the original look.

Multiple layouts

  • Create and share unlimited variants of a Timing Display, so that the view can be optimized for different users.

HTTPS support

  • The web-based Timing Display can optionally be configured with HTTPS authentication. This can be configured centrally through the Web Applications configuration tool (some additional configuration is also needed in Mosart).

Scope

Some Timing Display features in the desktop application are not currently supported in the web application, such as audible countdown and main/backup switching.

These are being evaluated for future inclusion, alongside other potential features and user experience improvements.

Supported System Requirements

  • Viz Mosart 5.0.3 or later
