Introduction
Turn stage chaos into a perfectly synchronized performance
ShowTime Player is a professional Show Control System designed for musicians, lighting designers, and VJs.
Version 2.4.0 introduces a powerful AI engine and an advanced scripting environment. It's not just a player—it's the "brain" of your show, unifying audio, lighting, video, and stage mechanics into a single organism.
*Setup.exe includes necessary libraries and drivers.
Why do you need it?
Forget manual scene switching and shouting at the sound engineer. ShowTime Player triggers audio, distributes timecode, controls lighting consoles via network, plays video in Resolume, and executes complex scripts.
You play the music — the software does the rest.
🧠 AI Audio Analysis
