  • Audio file directory: Tells Viz Mosart where to find the audio countdown files. They must be in PCM WAV format (16 bit, 48 kHz), and follow this naming standard:

    • 60_sec

    • 30_sec

    • 10_sec

    • 5_4_3_2_1

These are only examples; the Viz Mosart GUI countdown feature accepts and plays any file on the format above. Thus, a file named 47_sec is played when 47 seconds remain of a given event if that is desired.

Note: For setting-up your Timing Display, see the section Timing Display.


For the countdown to next break feature, the naming standard is:

    • 180_sec_Next_Break

    • 120_sec_Next_Break

    • 60_sec_Next_Break

    • 30_sec_Next_Break

    • 10_sec_Next_Break

    • 5_4_3_2_1_Next_Break
