GLOVE BOX
GloveBox is a simple show-timing application designed for live entertainment. It combines a clear wall clock and stopwatch with an event log, allowing you to record the start of a show, stops, resets and markers throughout a performance. Every event is logged with both the real-world clock time and elapsed show time, giving you an accurate record of what happened and when.
GloveBox can be operated locally or controlled remotely using OSC (Open Sound Control), making it easy to integrate into an existing show-control setup. Dedicated QLab and ETC Eos integration can automatically add fired cues to the event log, while manual markers and standard OSC markers can be added at any time. Each type of event is clearly identified by its source, making it easy to distinguish between QLab, Eos, manual and OSC events both on screen and in the exported data.
At the end of the show the complete event log can be exported as a CSV file, including Total Running Time and Total Playing Time. A distribution list can be saved in GloveBox Preferences, allowing the finished report to be saved to your computer, prepared as an email to your stage management or production team, or both.
Keyboard shortcuts, Always On Top mode, adjustable window opacity, automatic state saving and a compact Preferences window allow GloveBox to sit quietly alongside the rest of your show-control software until you need it.
