SuperTitles is the editor we use in the booth. Organisations, files, and calendar live in the platform. On the night you open the live editor on a computer that can see the house screens — and, if you want, the sound and light desk.
Each item below is in the product.
One file holds the production. Each language is a column. Each panel has its own font, size, colour, shadow, and outline. Many formatting options, such as rotation, stretching, line and character spacing, 4-corner correction, and more.
One fullscreen window per display. A projector, an LED, a second language on another output. The limit is the laptop, not the software.
Each armed panel is its own NDI source, with alpha, for a media server. The server places the picture. SuperTitles sends the type.
A named cue can fire the desk. The desk can GO the titles. QLab and Resolume Arena. Other OSC desks the same way.
The same cues on the spectator’s phone or tablet, or on a screen in the house. No app.
Cue from a phone on the venue network. Show and hide a line while you are away from the laptop. The show stays on the laptop.
Open and close the shutter. Power the projector on and off.
Word, plain text, SRT, and text from another surtitle program.
Calendar, roles, and who operates which night. Several files in one production. Synched scroll editor built in. The file opened in the booth is the one the team prepared.
Label a cue, or give the script a timecode, and follow a timed part of the play or a film.
Record the performance. Download an SRT when it is over.
This is how the software is priced. A slot is one production, and that production can run as many performances as it needs. Buying more slots costs less for each. No monthly fee.
It lives online and opens in Chrome, so the file is there when you need it. With no internet, open a local file, run the show, and sync later.
Advance a row. Blank the output without losing your place.
Greek and English (or more) on the same cues.
A pipe in the text holds a line and extends it when the stage is ready.
Size, place, colour profile — the same titles on a different screen.
A table in, columns in the grid.
Time a rehearsal. Play it back.
A label on the row. Jump to it. It never reaches the house screens.
When a labelled cue shows, send OSC, change a profile, close a shutter. QLab can GO SuperTitles the other way.
Organisations, files, calendar, and who is on which night. Open the editor from the project when it is time to cue.
Glasses and seat tablets are possible, with people we trust. Glasses are expensive per pair, plus upkeep. Tablets suit opera better than spoken theatre: looking down a thousand times changes the show. We would rather say that in the conversation than sell a kit that does not fit.
