C4 / Features

C4 Clock features.

Timing, PowerPoint status and session information for conference AV operators.

C⁴ PRO · LINK IT ONCE. LOAD IT TOGETHER.

ONE BUTTON.
NEXT PRESENTER READY.

Let C⁴ handle the handover. Import the client’s run sheet with presenter names and durations, then link each presenter’s PowerPoint.

With AUTO LOAD PPT on, press LOAD NEXT to load their countdown, open their presentation and put it into slideshow mode. Arm automatic start, and the countdown begins when they advance from slide 1 to slide 2.

Less juggling windows and controls. More attention on the show. Available in C⁴ Pro and an active Pro trial.
