| A Streamdeck can be used to make it easier to control [[OnTime]], although it can be controlled using just a keyboard and mouse just fine. The Streamdeck can be connected using [https://bitfocus.io/companion BitFocus Companion] and the plugin [https://github.com/bitfocus/companion-module-getontime-ontime GetOnTime-OnTime], which should be pre-installed with BitFocus Companion (I need to double check that).
| | The timer view for [[OnTime]] is displayed on the iMac on the control room monitor wall and the Mac Mini rigged in the studio lighting rig. This allows crew members to see the timings for the current production. |

| | When the Macs are switched on, they should automatically display the timer view. See the [[OnTime]] page for more information on how this works and how it can be changed. |

| The Macs should automatically display the [[OnTime]] timer view when they are powered on; this is currently achieved by a script which runs on startup and opens Firefox in kiosk mode to https://go.ystv.co.uk/signage. At the time of writing, this redirects to edit1's IP address on port 4001. This redirection can be changed by modifying the entry for "signage" on the [[URL Shortener]] admin page.

| The Mac Mini in the lighting rig will automatically boot on power; the iMac on the monitor wall will need to manually be powered on. Both Macs will also need to be shutdown manually - this can be done by pressing the power button once and they'll shutdown after 60 seconds.

| Both Macs currently run Ubuntu. We still need to investigate a proper signage solution. We did attempt to use PiSignage, however it turns out trying to use something designed for a Raspberry Pi on Ubuntu on a Mac doesn't work very well (the main reason we're using the Macs for signage is because they were just lying around not being used and aren't really suitable to be used for anything else).
