What sets us apart

Take control of your AV, your way.

Open-source at heart

Unlike closed, proprietary platforms, our solution is designed for flexibility and growth, so OTS can innovate without restrictions.

Simple XML configuration

No complex programming required. Define your devices, commands and workflows in minutes. Better still, OTS Command creates the configurations for you, so no XML knowledge is needed.

Works with off-the-shelf components

If your gear supports RS232 or TCP/IP control, it is probably compatible. No expensive proprietary hardware required.

A growing library

We create the commands for you. There is no need to dig through vendor technical documents, because we do that work.

Proven reliability

Robust enough for conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums and houses of worship, and affordable enough to fit any budget.

Education friendly

We developed this in higher education and understand the challenges of AV and the costs that come with it.

Two products, one system

The controller works alone. Command makes it shine.

OTS Media Controller

The controller was developed on Raspberry Pi OS using reliable open-source technologies, which gives it a robust and adaptable foundation. Its configuration is highly flexible through XML, so you can customize behavior and settings with ease.

Designed for independence and security, the Media Controller can operate completely restricted from the internet. That makes it ideal for environments where internet access is limited, while still providing powerful control of local devices.

OTS Command

When paired with Command, the Media Controller reaches its full potential. Command automatically updates configurations in real time, gives you a clear overview of the status of every connected controller, and even allows remote control when needed.

While the controller is fully capable offline, it truly shines when connected, with seamless, centralized management and instant updates. The choice is always yours: operate independently, or take advantage of the enhanced connectivity.

Take control of your AV, your way.
