TV Control System / HDMI Matrix / Sports Bar TV Control
The all-new DisplayHUB is now wireless!
The first and only wireless HDMI/Video matrix is coming soon!
Multi-screen streaming and control, purpose-built for Roku devices.
Built for Roku synchronization
Way cheaper to deploy
Way easier to install
First and only Roku-synchronized solution
Local-network operation
Sub-500 ms Sync
All Rokus start on the same segment boundary for tight AV alignment across rooms, APs, and subnets. Glass-to-glass time is <5 seconds, latency, see below for hard-wired no-latency systems.
Zero-Fuss Control
One simple web dashboard to route sources, group screens, push presets, and view health.
Local-First Reliability
On-prem components designed for speed and uptime. Daily control does not depend on the Internet.
Why it’s dramatically cheaper than other offerings (including our own hard-wired solution!).
- Uses off-the-shelf Roku devices as synchronized decoders
- No proprietary HDMI matrices required
- Commodity Raspberry Pi encoder and capture hardware
- Self-install, even with minimal techy skills
Lower capex. Lower install labor. Lower maintenance.
Why it’s far easier to install
- Network-based routing, no long HDMI pull-backs
- Autodiscovery for Roku devices; quick naming and grouping
- Built-in health checks and readable logs
- Phone-friendly control UI for on-site changes
Same-day rollout. Minimal wiring. Drop-in expansion.
Encoder(s): Raspberry Pi 4 (or better) based H.264/HEVC encoder tuned for low-latency HLS. Simple setup, robust logging, and auto-recover.
- 1 encoder per input, use as many as you need!
- Use our simple one-line, copy and paste command to install, then manage via the Web UI
- HDMI capture input
- Short segments for fast starts
- On-device status and metrics
Controller: Raspberry Pi (any flavor, just one per location) Web UI to assign sources to displays, group screens, push presets, and monitor health.
- Use our simple one-line, copy and paste command to install, then manage via the Web UI=
- Matrix routing and presets
- Per-screen stats and drift
- Autodiscovery for Roku
Players: Roku devices (TVs, Sticks, Stream Bars) as synchronized decoders. Clean UI, fast tune-in, reliable start-at-boundary playback.
- Sub-second startup targets
- Auto-reconnect and health pings
- Granular per-device control
Pro features will be available soon, and for an extra subscription fee.
- Overlays! Add anything you want that is then injected into the video feeds. Add drink specials, logos, videos, plain text that is dynamically overlayed on any source.
- Private viewing allows guests to view any of your sources on their own devices for private viewing or to use for audio of “their” game.
- Device control for Roku TVs, send one command to control power and audio levels.
- 12-hour response time for support.
– Potentially degrades the image depending on the network conditions, but usually not noticeable. Our system is designed to lower the quality automatically when the network is overwhelmed or under stress. This can be negated by using high-quality, high-end APs and using wired connections whenever possible. Some testing has also shown that using multiple APs or wires, backbone-driven mesh systems dramatically decrease network congestion, resulting in no image quality loss..
– 1 to 5 seconds of latency from glass to glass. This is not an issue for most venues as the guests would have no sense that there is any latency when all TV’s, projectors and monitors are on the same latency, and some networks support extremely fast <1 second latency. Network conditions vary by location.
Are these “cons” and issues for your install, then you will want to talk to us about…
DisplayHUB Zero Latency (hard-wired):
What is DisplayHub? There are many ways to describe what DisplayHub does: Bar TV control system, TV matrix system, HDMI matrix system, HDMI matrix control but basically what it does is it controls your displays and more importantly, what’s on those displays (sources). DisplayHub is simply put, a cloud-based HDMI matrix controller. We’ve also heard it described as a Sports Bar TV Control system, Sports Bar HDMI control system, DirecTV Control Software… whatever you call it doesn’t matter nearly as much as what it can do: Below is a video demo that is now 1 year out of date but will give you an idea of how our easy to use HDMI matrix software works. To see the current version contact us for a link to a working, real-time demonstration system that you can explore at your leisure.
Control electric outlets from the same screen you use to change changes and assign TVs. Imagine being able to control all your bar signs and other devices with a signal click. Your staff will no longer have to visit each device at open and close, simply purchase simple plugin controllers for as little as $5 each to control as many devices as you like.
- Complete TV system control on any device with a modern browser such as Chrome, even from your phone!
- Nothing to install on the client’s PC, smartphone or tablet (web-based)
- Control any number of STBs (such as DirecTV, Dish or Cable Box) complete with onscreen remotes!
- Practically any HDMI source to practically any HDMI source (even converters!)
- Sources include: DirecTV, Dish, OTA, Cable, PC/Mac, Roku, FireStick… anything with HDMI
- Know what any display is currently connected to
- Know what any STB receiver is currently tuned to including program information
- 50-millisecond latency means zero detectable lag and audio is always in sync
- Easy to add sources and displays including auto-finding DirecTV and Roku devices
- Very small footprint, hide all the equipment in a location out of sight
- True HDMI matrix, any combination of sources to displays
- Perfect for Karaoke and Video DJs
- Digital menus and signage – use your choice of Digital Signage or we can help you choose, some are even free!
- Kasa Plug and Switch control your entire venue with just a few clicks
Your staff should be serving guests, not getting remote shamed for pointing a remote behind a TV while balancing on a bar stool!
