Innovation Born from Real-World Challenges
Our product range represents solutions that evolved from genuine problems encountered in professional environments. We have developed, refined, and proven each product in real-world applications before making it available through our online shop and international reseller network.
cmdBridge
The Smart Control System Interface
The Challenge: Equipment failures, upgrades, and temporary installations often require control system reprogramming. This can be costly, time-consuming, and potentially disruptive to operations.
Our Solution: cmdBridge acts as an intelligent translating bridge between control systems and end devices, enabling seamless equipment swaps and loan deployments without touching existing control programming.
Why It Matters: AV integrators and support companies can deploy spare equipment instantly, reduce service calls, and minimise system downtime. This unique solution transforms how the industry handles equipment changes and emergency replacements.
Special thanks to the system integrators whose input shaped this development, you know who you are.
Sync-Generator
Professional-Grade Test Signal Source
The Challenge: Achieving accurate audio-video synchronisation in live broadcasts and events requires reliable test sources, but laptop applications and mobile apps provide inconsistent, poor-quality reference signals.
Our Solution: Sync-Generator delivers an accurate, repeatable test source designed to work seamlessly with Sync-One2, providing the precision required for professional broadcast and live event environments.
Why It Matters: Broadcast professionals, live event technicians, and AV engineers can rely on consistent, high-quality test signals for critical synchronization measurements.
Sync-One2
Award-Winning Audio-Visual Sync Measurement Tool
The Challenge: Audio-visual synchronisation errors and speaker polarity problems plague professional installations, but traditional measurement methods are slow, inaccurate, or require extensive expertise.
Our Solution: Sync-One2 provides fast, accurate measurement of lip-sync delays and speaker polarity errors, enabling technicians to make precise adjustments quickly and confidently.
Industry Recognition: Used worldwide by professionals who demand excellence in sync performance. From Pro AV and post-production facilities to film studios, movie theatres, and broadcast networks. Sync-One2 has become the reference standard for R&D departments and third-party certification of licensed technologies.
Latest Enhancement: Recent firmware updates include advanced speaker polarity checking, addressing one of the most common but difficult-to-diagnose problems in professional audio installations.
Aviation USB Power Supplies
Specialised Power Solutions for Light Aircraft
The Challenge: Standard USB power supplies aren’t designed for the demanding environment of light aircraft, potentially compromising device performance and safety.
Our Solution: Purpose-built multi-port USB power supplies engineered specifically for aviation applications, delivering safe, optimal charging for USB devices in light aircraft environments. They also have a very low EMC signature, preventing issues with radios and navigation equipment.
