 Thats where the ClockManager comes into play. The ClockManger makes it possible to open a Showtiming clock in a dedicated desktop window. This window is called the ClockClient. When opening the ClockClient a show can be choosen for which the clocks should be displayed. If the director starts Showtiming on this show the ClockClient displays the Showtiming clocks. As the ClockClient is independent of the iNEWS client it can run on all computers within your iNEWS client network. Thats where the ClockManager comes into play.

 +  * Elapsed time clock - a new clock counts forward and is reset to 0 on each sync triggering. Helpful to get the right times for displaying supers.
