External data

Inject external data to the Ontime presenter view

In the editor, we getfeedback on the external data

The external data is shown in the timer, and can be hidden in the view settings

You can inject data into the ontime presenter view. This is useful in cases where you would like another software to push some data to Ontime. ie: a running time from video playback in VLC
