We’re always adding custom interface modules to simplify interaction with specific services to help you create the ultimate unified control interface for your installation: ·         Session timers ·         Buttons ·         Sliders ·         Steppers ·         Titles ·         Text ·         Images · Audio controls ·         Tab navigation bars ·         Side navigation bars · Module Specific controls Ctrl Player displays all customisation options defined in Ctrl Designer: ·         Custom background images & logos ·         Custom background colours Contact our team through our website if you're looking at Ctrl Suite for a project or installation and want to try the entire system.
