Manage your media plant like software, not appliances.
One control plane for Bilbycast and third-party broadcast devices. AI-assisted flow creation, real-time topology, multi-tenant Groups with brand theming. Free for up to 10 nodes.
Capabilities
Six things the manager does that vendor-specific dashboards don't.
Real-time topology
Live visual map of every edge, relay, and third-party device. Connections light up as data flows. Click any node for a deep-dive: live video preview, TR-101290 transport analysis, codec detection, fan-out topology.
AI-assisted flow creation
A built-in AI assistant understands your network topology and can create, analyze, and troubleshoot media flows via the driver-aware action system. Bring your own credentials for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini — credentials are stripped before any LLM context.
Driver-aware control of third-party devices
A plugin architecture treats every device type — Bilbycast edge, relay, and third-party broadcast hardware — as a self-contained driver. Today: Bilbycast and Appear X. Tomorrow: whatever you build with the Gateway SDK.
Multi-tenant Groups with brand theming
Tenant-isolated users, resources, and quotas with per-tenant logo and brand-colour theming. White-label out of the box. Cross-tenant tunnels, share-cron, ownership transfer, per-tenant Switcher pages.
Routines — automate show-day workflows
Cron-scheduled named target states across flows. DST-correct via IANA timezones. Real-time fire-partial / fire-failed / missed events. One routine can cue 50 flows simultaneously.
Per-node "Open Device Web UI" link
Operators add a URL on the node row that opens the device's own admin UI in a new tab. The manager is not in the request path — point the URL at whatever port-forward, SSH tunnel, or LAN address reaches the device from your browser.
Crosspoint authoring for the node-wide ES bus.
A Lawo-style routing matrix that turns one edge into a full distribution surface. Sources pane lists every input
program; the crosspoint matrix runs along every output's assembled programs; the inspector lets you fine-tune
slot splice modes and lipsync trim. Click-to-wire and drag-and-drop are equally first-class. Pending changes
are highlighted in Lawo orange; Apply (N) commits every route atomically per flow.
- Master-clock identity preflight — refuses cross-PTP / cross-PCR-PLL routes before the WS round-trip

The manager exposes its driver-aware action system to a built-in LLM assistant. Describe what you want in plain English, the assistant proposes a flow definition, and you commit it with one click. Bring your own provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini — credentials never leave your tenant.
- Knows your network topology and the live state of every device
- Proposes flows, never executes — you commit the change
- Stripped of credentials and tunnel keys before any LLM context
Three providers, one panel.
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini cards sit side by side. Drop in your key, pick a model, save. Keys are
envelope-encrypted at rest under the ai-key KEK domain and never appear
in audit entries or API responses.
Security baseline
No bolt-ons. Every install ships with the same security primitives.
Every operator action, logged.
Group-scoped audit table with timestamp, user, action, target, and structured details — searchable by date range, action type, and target. Tenant-scoped: SuperAdmin sees everything; an Acme operator never sees Globex's history. Read-only by design — no API path deletes rows.
- Switcher takes, routine fires, node CRUD, flow edits, AI-driven actions — all recorded
- Structured
detailscolumn holds the parameters of every action - AI-driven actions tagged with provider + model — full provenance for compliance reviews
Roster view across the full plant — health, version, capabilities, last-seen status.
Set it up in 10 minutes.
Runs on commodity off-the-shelf hardware. Edge and relay are free under AGPL 3; manager is free for up to 10 nodes. No sign-up wall, no credit card. The same binaries you'd run in production.
