Date & Time
The Date / Time input allows you to select and control precise timestamps during your broadcast. It can be used to show the current time on screen
In Quadraviz, you can display dates and times exactly the way you want, whether you're showing the current time, a match schedule, or a countdown.
You have full control over how the information looks using formats.
What Is a Date/Time Format?
A format is a pattern that controls how a date or time is displayed, for example:
27/07/2025Sunday, July 27th18:45Today at 6:45 PM
You can define the format to match your language, tone, or broadcast style.
How to Set a Format
When binding a date or time value to your animation, you'll see a "Format" field.
Just type your desired format using the examples below.
Format Examples
Format | Output example | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
| Day, month, and full year |
|
| Full weekday and month |
|
| 24-hour clock |
|
| 12-hour clock with AM/PM |
|
| Short date format |
|
| Short weekday + time |
|
| Month name only |
|
| Day of the month (with suffix) |
|
| Year only |
You can combine any parts to create your own custom display.
Timezones
Dates and times are automatically displayed in your local time.
If you want to control this, you can adjust the value before sending it into Quadraviz.

Use uppercase and lowercase letters carefully – for example,
MM= month,mm= minutes.Always test the format using the preview before publishing.
You can copy a format string from another input if needed.
