Revolutionize AV Control Without the Heavy Price Tag
Say goodbye to overpriced, locked-down AV control systems. Introducing Off-the-Shelf Media Controller and Off-the-Shelf Command, the smarter, more affordable way to manage commercial Audio Visual gear. Built to compete with industry giants like the 'trons', Off-the-Shelf Media Controller, delivers powerful control over TVs, Matrix Switchers, DSPs, Projectors, and more: at just a fraction of the cost per meeting space or classroom than traditional AC controllers.
✅ Open-Source at Heart - Unlike closed, proprietary platforms, our solution is designed for flexibility and growth. OTS can innovate without restrictions.
✅ Simple XML Configuration - No complex programming required. Setup is as easy as editing an XML file that almost anyone can understand. Define your devices, commands, and workflows in minutes. Heck, we even create the configurations for you with Off-the-Shelf Command Center, no XML knowledge needed!
✅ Works with Off-the-Shelf Components - Did we mention it works with gear you can purchase yourself? If your gear supports RS232 or TCP/IP control, it's probably compatible. No expensive proprietary hardware required.
✅ Growing Library - We're creating the commands for you, no need to understand vendor technical documents - we do it for you.
✅ Proven Reliability - Robust enough for conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, and houses of worship. Affordable enough to fit any budget.
✅ Education Friendly - We've developed this in higher-ed and understand the challenges of AV with the costs associated
Why pay tens of thousands of dollars for control systems that limit your choices? With Off-the-Shelf Media Controller, you get performance, freedom to innovate, and unmatched value.
Take control of your AV—your way.
The OTS Media Controller was developed on the Raspberry-Pi OS using reliable open-source technologies, ensuring a robust and adaptable foundation. Its configuration is highly flexible through XML, allowing users to customize behavior and settings with ease. Designed for independence and security, the Media Controller can operate completely restricted from the internet if needed, making it ideal for environments where internet access is limited or restricted, while still providing powerful control and functionality of local devices.
When paired with the Command software, the Media Controller reaches its full potential. Command automatically updates configurations in real time, provides a clear overview of the status of all connected Media Controllers, and even allows remote control when needed. While the Media Controller is fully capable offline, it truly shines when connected online, giving you seamless, centralized management and instant updates—but the choice is always yours, whether to operate independently or take advantage of the enhanced connectivity.
