Free Technical Rehearsal Countdown

Use a technical rehearsal countdown for setup, audio, video, lights, run, and notes. Create an XTimer room when technical directors, AV operators, stage managers, producers, lighting leads, and audio engineers need shared technical rehearsal timing.

Built for this job

Technical rehearsal teams can separate setup, audio, video, lights, run, and notes.

Teams can keep timing visible without replacing technical runbooks, cue sheets, venue procedures, equipment manuals, safety plans, and authorized technical directors.

XTimer rooms support shared technical rehearsal timers across technical directors, AV operators, stage managers, producers, lighting leads, and audio engineers devices.

Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use technical runbooks, cue sheets, venue procedures, equipment manuals, safety plans, and authorized technical directors as the source of truth.

Use the timer for rehearsal pacing only, not for equipment safety, venue operations, accessibility, labor, legal, or production decisions.

Keep technical notes, audio notes, video notes, lighting notes, cue notes, and rehearsal handoffs in approved event, meeting, classroom, production, CMS, training, safety, accessibility, analytics, or operations systems.

Use an XTimer room when technical directors, AV operators, stage managers, producers, lighting leads, and audio engineers need one shared technical rehearsal countdown.
