Visual Countown for ADR/VO timings for talent?

[masterboyle]

Anyone know a good way to provide visual timings to talent for VO sessions where each read has to fall within a certain time? Our booth has a video tie line and LCD monitor. Are there any products that translate the pro tools timeline into some visual reference that can be fed to the booth?
Thanks,
Brian

This should do it, though I haven't used it.

Have you tried just using streamers?

Seems to have lots of products which could be handy.
I´m serously conisdering the redlight thingy myself.

There´s also this

But it doesn´t auto-backtime like ediprompt and you have to lay-in the midi-regions manually for each cue. But for once in a while it´s OK. Edipropmt is far smarter and does more than Streamers.

Mind you all these overlay-streamers need pretty fast CPUs to generate really smooth streamers but for count-downs they work even on rather slow machines.

Horita also makes a box that you can either trigger at X TC or wire it up to the SYNC I/O and have it triggered by going into record. That's what we have been using and it works like a charm. I think they also make a count down timer that you could insert into the video line and trigger.
