Control system programming for serious AV

Solution AV programs the control layer behind commercial and mission-critical AV: any source to any display, complex systems behind clean operator interfaces. School auditoriums across Brisbane, council chambers across Queensland, mission control on desert rocket ranges, and everything between.

Capabilities

CONTROL

Crestron Programming

Control system programming for boardrooms to broadcast-grade facilities. SIMPL, SIMPL#, C# and VC-4. Direct to clients or as the contract programmer on your integration team.

VIDEO / NETWORK

AV-over-IP

NVX and AV-over-IP system design and routing logic. Any image, any screen, with the network complexity hidden from the people using it.

INTEGRATION

Custom Modules

Crestron talks to everything when the modules exist, and I write them when they don't. Third-party integration and custom module development for new and unusual kit.

INTERFACE

Operator Interfaces

Touch panel and operator UI design that makes complex systems feel simple. The best control system is one nobody has to think about.

Featured project

CSIRO Mobile Mission Operations Centre

Contracted Crestron programmer for CSIRO's deployable mission control facility: any image on any screen across 60+ NVX endpoints, in a control room that splits across two B-double trailers.

"Certainly made it easier and highly configurable to mix multiple outputs from 40 computers onto 80 displays, and two large-format outdoor screens." Craig James · Principal Research Engineer, CSIRO

AI Integration

MCP for Crestron

Turn any Crestron room into one your client can talk to. The processor itself becomes an AI server, so an assistant like Claude drives the AV in plain language, on your network, not in someone's cloud.

  • Plain-language control: "laptop on the left screen, lights to 40%, mute the ceiling mics" runs straight on the box.
  • Build it in now, license it later: install it unlicensed in every system and switch on AI control when the client is ready. Every job ships AI-ready.
  • Your hardware, your network: the control path stays on the processor, with the AV-over-IP complexity hidden behind it.

Products

AUDIO

Hubtooth

A bit-perfect Bluetooth audio receiver for venues and controlled AV, built on Raspberry Pi. The OS image is a free download; a per-receiver licence unlocks the extra scenes and the IP control API.

TIME

Escapement

A self-contained, offline stratum-1 NTP time server for air-gapped racks. Disciplined by an onboard temperature-compensated clock and calibrated per unit, so the rack holds correct time with no internet.

AURACAST

Cohear

The layer that ties a venue’s Auracast rooms together. Each room follows its own diary: when a booking ends, the room’s code changes and the screens in the room change with it. Built for Auri transmitters and docks, runs on Linux or a VM on the venue’s own server.

Free Crestron modules

TOUCHPANEL

QR Code Grid

Render any text as a scannable QR code on the touchpanel, computed on the processor with no external image service, so payloads never leave the box. SIMPL+ and SIMPL# editions, free to install and redistribute.
