AV software from Mumbai, where sound and visuals move as one.

We are an AV software development company in Mumbai. We build software that keeps visuals and sound locked together, from audio-reactive visuals and live visual tools to show control and playback for venues and events across India.

What we build.

Most AV setups are stitched together from tools that were never meant to talk to each other. We write the software in between, or replace it, so every screen, light and speaker follows one clock and one idea.

Audio-reactive visuals

Real-time visuals driven by beats, frequencies and stems, for screens, LED walls and projection.

Live visual tools

Custom software for visual artists and show operators: cues, layers, effects and controller mapping that hold up under pressure.

Show control and sync

Timecode, MIDI, OSC, DMX and Art-Net working together, so lights, video and sound land on the same moment.

Playback and media systems

Reliable playback, scheduling and remote control for venues, retail, museums and exhibitions.

Mapping and LED pipelines

Projection mapping, warping, blending and output for unusual surfaces, screen shapes and pixel layouts.

Desktop, mobile and web AV apps

Visualisers, players and creative apps for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and the browser.

How we work.

  1. Listen

    A short call to understand what people should hear, see and feel, and what success looks like for you.

  2. Prototype

    The core idea built first, rough but real, so you can hear it and try it early and decide with confidence.

  3. Build

    Engineering for the real world: performance, stability, every target platform and the polish people notice.

  4. Launch and support

    Release, installers or on-site setup, a clean handover and support after launch.

Who it is for.

In Mumbai and across India.

Much of India’s live events, broadcast and brand experience work is run from Mumbai, and so are we. That means software written for how production happens here: short load-in windows, rented gear that changes from show to show, and rehearsals that often happen the night before.

Event and live-production companies

Custom playback, cueing and audio-reactive content tools that run on your show machines, with a version you can rehearse on a laptop before load-in.

AV integrators and system designers

The control, sync and content software layer for systems you design and install, with documentation your team can support. We work as your software partner, not as another integrator.

Stages, venues and clubs

Show control that ties lighting desks, LED processors and playback together over DMX, Art-Net, OSC, MIDI and timecode, built around the gear already in the rig.

Museums and experience centres

Unattended playback, scheduling, sensor-driven content and remote monitoring for galleries and experience centres that must open on time, every day, for months.

Built for Indian conditions

Power cuts, heat, dust, patchy venue internet and mixed equipment. The software restarts itself, runs offline and degrades gracefully instead of stopping the show.

On site when it matters

Site visits, tech rehearsals and show days in Mumbai are straightforward for us. For venues elsewhere in India we plan travel around rehearsals and handover.

Tools and formats.

Questions, answered.

What is AV software?

Software that creates, plays or controls audio and visuals together: visual engines, playback systems, show control, visualisers and the tools that keep them in sync.

Can you make visuals that react to live music?

Yes. We analyse audio in real time, or take MIDI, timecode or stems from the stage, and drive visuals from it with almost no delay.

Can your software work with our existing lighting and video gear?

Usually, yes. We connect over standard protocols such as DMX, Art-Net, OSC, MIDI, NDI and timecode, and build bridges for anything custom.

Do you build for permanent installations as well as events?

Yes. Permanent systems get scheduling, remote monitoring and recovery from power cuts, so they keep running without someone on site.

Do you build custom AV software for events in Mumbai?

Yes. We are based in Mumbai and build show control, playback, audio-reactive visuals and live visual tools for concerts, launches, corporate events and venues in the city, and travel for rehearsals and show days elsewhere in India. Bring us in early: live software needs time on the real gear before the show.

How much does custom AV software cost in India?

It depends on scope, how reliable it must be and how much hardware is involved. As a rough guide, a focused tool such as an audio-reactive visual app or a small control bridge is typically around ₹1.5 to 5 lakh, a show control or playback system for one event or venue around ₹5 to 15 lakh, and a permanent, unattended installation with monitoring and support from ₹15 lakh upwards. Hardware is extra. After a short scoping call we quote for a clearly defined first version.

Can you work alongside our AV integrator or production company?

Yes. Most AV software sits next to other teams: integrators, lighting designers, LED and projection vendors and production managers. We agree protocols and responsibilities early, test on their equipment and document the system so it can be supported after handover.

Where are you based?

Operations are in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. We work with clients across India and remotely with teams worldwide.
