Production Timer

In live production, synchronization isn’t optional — it’s everything. Nobody wants to watch a broadcast where picture and sound fall apart, and Plura has the equipment to make sure they never do. Our modular Rubidium systems are fully scalable and tailored to your needs, supporting all major synchronization methods from the classics — LTC timecode, Blackburst and Wordclock — to modern network-based standards like NTP and PTP. Our PCIe cards extend this further, syncing any computer, video server or graphics system directly to your studio clock. And whether you’re locking to a local reference or a satellite signal, our receivers have you covered. Whatever the reference — we’re in sync.

Professional Timing for Any Production Environment
Plura Production Timers are professional-grade timing systems designed to provide clear…Plura’s Production Timers are professional-grade timing systems designed to organize and synchronize your production environment — whether it’s a TV show, a conference, a sports event or a security control room. Network-based and powered over Ethernet (PoE), they integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructures and sync to any external NTP server as a real-time reference.

Flexible Control and Broad Compatibility
Beyond real time and date, you can manage up to six independent timers or time zones, with output options ranging from Plura’s own MTDoE protocol and connected displays to LTC conversion via the Plura ELC for third-party compatibility. Many multiviewer manufacturers have also implemented Plura’s 4Timer Request Protocol, offering yet another way to keep your entire production in sync.

Trusted Solutions for Precision-Critical Applications
Deployed in television stations across Europe and beyond, our timing solutions are trusted wherever precision matters — contact our sales team or browse our products to find the right fit for your needs.

Synchronization

Modern workflows are increasingly hybrid—mixing SDI, IP, and distributed locations. Synchronization is what holds it all together: accurate time-of-day, stable reference, and consistent alignment across devices and systems. Plura provides timing-oriented solutions that integrate into real-world infrastructures—supporting common references and control methods to help teams deploy systems that remain stable over time.

Synchronization Is Everything
In live production, synchronization isn’t optional — it’s everything. Nobody wants to watch a broadcast where picture and sound fall apart, and Plura has the equipment to make sure they never do.

Scalable Systems & Full Compatibility
Our modular Rubidium systems are fully scalable and tailored to your needs, supporting all major synchronization methods — from classics like LTC timecode, Blackburst and Wordclock to modern network-based standards like NTP and PTP.

Seamless Integration & Reliable Reference
Our PCIe cards extend synchronization to any computer, video server or graphics system by connecting directly to your studio clock. Whether you’re locking to a local reference or a satellite signal, our receivers ensure everything stays perfectly in sync. (bearbeitet)

Intelligent Displays

In fast-paced environments, clear and consistent time visibility is essential. Plura time displays provide a shared visual reference that improves coordination, reduces errors, and supports precise execution across teams. Designed to integrate with professional timing infrastructures, these displays reflect accurate time-of-day or event-based timing sourced from reliable references.

More Than Just a Clock
It’s not just a clock. Plura’s timing displays come fully equipped right out of the box — from network timing and NTP synchronization to satellite reception — all housed in robust metal enclosures built for daily production.

Flexible & Made in Germany
Available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, every display is manufactured in our factory in Germany, allowing us to tailor each unit precisely to your project’s specifications.

Built Around Your Needs
Tally integration, custom sizing, Date Time Group layouts for emergency centers and control rooms — if you need it, we can build it. Whatever your production demands, we make your display work exactly the way you need it to.

Use Cases

In Sync with the Universe

Todays mediaproductions demand increasingly more flexibility – workwise, skillwise and locationwise. People working connected and collaborative even in different timezones on shared ressources. We are helping to maintain timing, to backup reference signals and to synchronize each and every streaming bit. Synchronization: Worldwide trusted for more than 40 years.

Not just a pretty face

Real beauty is more than just the visible outside at first glance. It is the combination of great inner values forming an appealing whole. Just like our displays: smooth skin embracing a strong, lean body, every detail worked out to perfection — safeguarding and housing only the best, most reliable and trustworthy characteristics one could dream of: absolute punctuality, calmly controlled and simply the best partner to rely on. Push a button and it always follows your orders — happily ever after.

The Times They Are a-Changin'

Can you handle seven times? Yes – at least our Studio Production Timer (SPT) can. Let’s say there is a production that is in need of several times: Real time (what’s the time, please?) Local time (destination country) Difference time (displaying end of show) Countdown 1 (when will the sponsor arrive?) Countdown 2 (when are we going on air?) Countdown 3 (how long is the feed until it ends?) Up timer (how long have union members already been working?)
Whatever timing information a production needs – with our SPT, you have it at your fingertips. Don’t worry whether your source comes from a satellite, a server or anything else – this one fits all.

Binge watching

Language is the key to the world – our PCIe cards are the key to languages. Netflix, Disney and Amazon rely on our technology to synchronize languages and subtitles with their streaming content. Imagine enjoying your favorite series with friends and all of a sudden, a protagonist speaking in an alien language. Subtitles make it easy to understand. We make sure that translations pop up at the right moment and disappear again in time. Our evergreen PCIe cards take care that nobody pulls the wool over your eyes.
