Services

Bespoke engineering for live production teams.

We build software that sits between your hardware, your network and your operators, and work alongside your team while it beds in.

Engagements

What we take on.

Bespoke AV architecture

We map your signal flow and constraints, then design the software layer that ties it all together, with the trade-offs talked through up front.

Signal-flow & failure-mode analysisArchitecture briefLatency budget per path

Custom tooling

Control, recording and monitoring tools built for one production’s needs, then refined so they’re ready for the next one. Operator UX designed with the people who’ll run it.

Production-grade source codeOperator runbooksAutomated test rigs

Hardware & API bridges

Integrations between the gear you have and the workflows you want: Companion and Stream Deck surfaces, OSC and MIDI, Crestron and Q-SYS, Dante and NDI.

Protocol adaptersControl-surface modulesInterop test reports

Commissioning & show support

We can join tech rehearsals and be on hand for the show itself, with telemetry so any issues are quick to track down.

Signal path

How an engagement runs.

Clear checkpoints at every stage, so you always know where things stand.
  1. 01Scope1-2 wks

    Inventory, constraints and a latency/reliability budget. Ends in a fixed-scope proposal.

  2. 02Architect1-3 wks

    Topology and interfaces, reviewed with your engineers before we build.

  3. 03BuildIterative

    Weekly drops onto your hardware, with soak tests running against real signal.

  4. 04CommissionOn site

    Integration, rehearsal support and sign-off against the agreed budget.

  5. 05SustainOngoing

    Support agreements, updates and show-by-show tuning.

Talkback, rethought.

PatchTalk, our first tool, is in design. Early access opens once we start building. Monitoring and control for Blackmagic gear comes next.
