Turn your iPhone or iPad into a professional AV control center. Communicate directly with any equipment via TCP, UDP, HTTP, Telnet, WebSocket, and JSON-RPC protocols. Build your own custom interface with buttons, sliders, and toggles, arranged exactly the way you want. AVCommander is a dynamic control application designed to interface directly with professional AV equipment over IP networks. Rather than relying on pre-programmed logic or third-party control processors, the app generates UI on-the-fly based on added devices. KEY FEATURES Dynamic UI Generation The interface is built automatically from your devices. Add any device, and the app creates the appropriate controls — power buttons, volume sliders, input selectors, and more. Scene Management Create scenes to execute multiple commands with a single tap. Configure "All On" to power up your entire system, or "All Off" for shutdown. Add any number of commands to each scene. Command Automation Set repeat timers for any button (0.5 to 3600 seconds). Perfect for automated presentations, looped content playback, or scheduled commands. UI Password Protection Secure your interface with a 6-digit password. Use with Guided Access to prevent app exit and disable Edit Mode for end users. Recommended for installed systems. 17 Languages The app supports 17 languages, making it accessible to users worldwide. Dark & Light Themes Comfortable interface in any environment. Dark theme for dimly lit control rooms, light theme for bright spaces. Screen Rotation The UI adapts automatically to any orientation. Rotate your device and the controls adjust instantly. SUPPORTED DEVICE CATEGORIES Audio DSP Processors: Volume control, mute, recall, and preset management Video Matrix: HDMI matrices, seamless switches, multiviewers, and scalers Video Wall: Processors, LED screen controllers, projection systems, TV panels PTZ Cameras: VISCA protocol, preset recall, and tracking control VCS Codecs: API command support for video conferencing systems Congress Systems: Microphone control, chairman side, active mic management Lighting & Automation: Light control systems, motorized shades, blinds Custom Devices: Digital signage players, any TCP/IP controllable device with API support SUPPORTED CONTROL PROTOCOLS TCP, UDP, Telnet, HTTP, JSON-RPC, WebSocket, TCP Server (receive commands from equipment) DRIVER LIBRARY Download ready-made configurations for popular devices from the built-in driver library.
