RFutils
In developmentA browser-based RF suite for radio mics: WWB/WSM/PMSE file exchange, live Shure and Sennheiser monitoring with headphone cueing, IM-aware coordination, and device programming.
Software
Everything we've built
47 open-source projects, grouped by the part of the job they belong to. Every one of these has a public repo you can read, build and fork. Filter, sort, and download a build for your machine straight from the card — or watch the ones that have a video without leaving the page, and try the ones with a live demo in your browser.

WSM–WWB Bridge
Field provenMoves frequency-coordination data between Shure Wireless Workbench and Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager. Reads and writes both native formats, reverse-engineered from real exports, plus a generic CSV column mapper.
PMSE → WWB
Field provenTurns an Ofcom PMSE licence schedule PDF into Shure Wireless Workbench import files — a documented frequency list, a CSV reference sheet, and an experimental native .shw show file.
MicWizard
ReleasedDiscovers and monitors Shure and Sennheiser wireless receivers on the network: AES67 metering, battery and RF status, local headphone cue, and optional Companion-driven Dante routing.
SimpleCue
Field testingA platform-independent audio cue player for theatre and live events — cues, fades, links, loops and vamps, with a per-cue output routing matrix. Driven by OSC, MIDI, MSC, MMC, Art-Net or sACN.
Contourtonist
Field testingMeasures how loud the room actually is — from a calibrated measurement microphone or an SPL meter's live output — and applies the ISO 226:2003 equal-loudness correction needed to hold the tonal balance the system was tuned for as the show level moves.
Zero EQ
Field testingZero-added-latency parametric EQ, dynamic EQ with external sidechain, band-isolated harmonic generation and a compressor, with ballistics-accurate metering and a full preset system.
Dante BabelBox
Gathering capturesA cross-vendor Dante control bridge: preamp gain and phantom control across Behringer/Midas, Allen & Heath and Yamaha, plus radio-mic telemetry from Shure and Sennheiser.
SRT Router
Field testingA broadcast-router-style crosspoint for SRT: any number of inputs and outputs, each output live-switchable to one source, added and removed at runtime from a web UI. Pure relay, no transcode. NDI transport included.
Flock
Field provenOne web UI for a fleet of BirdDog Play NDI/SRT decoders: LAN discovery, tag-based grouping, full BirdUI-parity settings per device, and batch edits across a whole group.
WebLinked
Field provenRenders any web page offscreen through Chromium at a broadcast raster and rate, then sends it to DeckLink and AJA over SDI, to the network as NDI and OMT, and fullscreen to a GPU-attached display — every output taking the same frame. It can run several such pipelines at once, each with its own browser, clock and raster, so a page that hangs on one feed cannot touch the others. The engine clocks the browser one frame at a time rather than letting it paint on its own timer, so 50 ticks a second really is 50 paints. Settings, live diagnostics and an interactive preview are all in the browser, so a rack machine needs nothing but an HTTP port.
atem-scopes
ReleasedVideo scopes arranged around a live ATEM multiview. Waveform, vectorscope, histogram, false colour, zebras and focus peaking on any multiview window — program and preview included — with sources named live from the switcher's own multiviewer config. Desktop app and browser build.
ATEM Overseer
Field testingA browser dashboard to monitor and control a fleet of Blackmagic ATEM switchers, styled after the BMD multiviewer. Ships as a desktop tray app too.
ATEM Fleet Admin
Field testingProvision a whole fleet of ATEM switchers at once. Model-aware config forms export loadable XML plus a media folder, or apply live over the network — instead of one unit at a time on a flight case at 02:00.
animATEM
In developmentControl for ATEM Mini Pro/Extreme ISO with something the hardware doesn't give you: a software-composited SuperSource/DVE preview, built by capturing the switcher's own multiview over UVC. Touchscreen operator UI plus a Companion module.
caspar-AV
In developmentA live-events media server built on CasparCG — screens on a canvas, frame-accurate cues, a media library, GDD template forms and a trigger grid, all in a browser. Verified against a real CasparCG 2.5.0.
Resolume Luma Keyer
Field provenA luminance keyer FFGL effect for Resolume Arena and Avenue. Universal macOS bundle and Windows DLL.
Resolume OFX Bridge
Field testingRuns OpenFX plugins — the format DaVinci Resolve uses — inside Resolume Arena and Avenue. Point the app at your OFX folder, choose where the results go, press Start: it writes one FFGL plugin per OFX plugin, each carrying that plugin's real parameters into Resolume's own UI. No compiler needed.
Resolve Configurator
Field testingScaffolds an entire DaVinci Resolve project — theatre and day bins, per-session timelines, imported media and smart-bin recipes — from the same session CSV that drives the file-drop workflow.
Presentation Commander — Server
Field testingMaster control for a presentation room: a real-time NDI video matrix router, layered scene compositor, presenter-notes hub, and a Control Surface with a JSON-RPC automation API.
Presentation Commander — Client
Field testingThe presentation-laptop half: a bespoke PDF/Keynote/Google Slides engine with dual NDI outputs — Program and Next Slide — driven remotely from the Server.
PDF Presenter
Field provenA minimal PDF-only presenter: Now/Next view with clickable slide thumbnails and a fullscreen output on the second display. Nothing else.
Presentation Converter
Field testingConverts Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides and ODP to PDF with a presenter-notes sidecar, so notes survive the conversion. GUI, CLI, server and a Nextcloud app from one codebase.
File Drop Batch
ReleasedA Nextcloud app for production teams: build a show from a CSV, the browser or a live Google Sheet, and it creates a folder and upload-only drop link per session, emails each presenter, and can create per-theatre accounts scoped to their own folder.
Companion — Presentation Commander Server
ReleasedBitfocus Companion module: route outputs, recall scenes, blackout, send stage notes and drive next/previous slide from a Stream Deck.
Companion — Presentation Commander Client
ReleasedBitfocus Companion module for OSC control of the Presentation Commander client.
Companion — PDF Presenter
ReleasedBitfocus Companion module for OSC control of PDF Presenter.
System Graft
Field testingInjects out-of-tree kernel modules into a SquashFS initrd and writes it to bootable removable media. You supply the image and the modules — useful when an installer doesn't know about your NIC or RAID card.
LEQtion
Field testingA desktop sound level meter and dual-channel analyser: fractional-octave RTA, spectrograph, time-weighted SPL and as many LEQs as you care to define, plus level history charts, CSV logging, a signal generator and transfer function measurement with phase, coherence and delay finding — on a grid of tiles you lay out yourself.
Old Cathode
Field provenAn FFGL effect that models the route a picture took to reach a television, rather than the look of one. Universal macOS bundle and Windows DLL.
Porthole
Field provenA variable fisheye and defish warp as an FFGL effect. It re-photographs the picture through a different lens rather than drawing a bulge on top of it, so the Projection control is which lens — and defish exactly undoes fish.
Asciify
ReleasedAn ASCII art FFGL effect that matches each character cell on how much ink it wants and on where that ink sits, so edges pick up characters that lean the right way instead of being flattened into a brightness ramp.
Scopes
ReleasedWaveform, vectorscope, histogram and picture assist as one FFGL effect. Drop it on a layer and it measures what is arriving there — either replacing the picture or sitting over it in a corner.
Tinsel
ReleasedAn FFGL effect that finds the outlines in a clip and lights them like a string of LEDs, running the patterns an LED controller runs — chases, comets, twinkles, fire — over twenty patterns and sixteen palettes.
Downpour
ReleasedFalling columns of characters, as an FFGL source and a matching effect. Reads its own generated code, four public domain books, or any text file you point it at, in any installed font.
Orrery
ReleasedPrimitive shapes moving on deterministic paths, as an FFGL source and a matching mask effect. Eight shapes, five paths, and a phase that can be locked to the host's bar — for quick animated masks and for chroma chases driving a pixel map.
MixerReturn
Field testingAn interface for Waves SuperRack Performer: run the Dugan Automixer across a console's channel direct outs and return the automixed result summed to a single stereo pair, into a group's external input — leaving every insert slot free.
simpleVIS
Field testingA lightweight lighting visualiser. Drop in an MVR and it reads the rig straight out of it — fixture positions, patch, and the GDTF definitions embedded alongside, so it knows which channel is pan, how wide the beam opens and whether the colour mixes additively or subtractively. Then feed it Art-Net, sACN or DMX off a USB interface and watch the programming in volumetric haze, from anywhere you care to put the camera. Pixel-mapped fixtures work properly: a wall that declares four template channels across a hundred references is resolved to the three hundred it actually occupies, one DMX slot per pixel. The desktop build takes the live input; the hosted build imports and flies the same rig in a browser tab with a built-in demo look, because Art-Net and sACN are UDP and a browser cannot receive it.
UnMapper
In developmentReads the Resolume Advanced Output slice map that drives the real wall, receives Resolume's outputs over NDI, and composites them onto a virtual reconstruction of the rig. Drive that to connected monitors as a stand-in wall, or view it as 3D previz of the set.
