The platform of our media servers. Brainsalt Hub sets up and manages the server. Backstage builds and runs the show on it, on projection or on LED. Calibrator aligns multi-projector systems, and Conductor programs what moves.
Brainsalt Hub
Brainsalt Hub is where the machine is set up and watched: addresses, displays, users, power, health. Every step is a page on the server, reached over the network, so commissioning needs neither physical access to the machine nor operating-system expertise.
Its Desktop App finds every server on the network whatever address it currently holds, signs a user in once for all of them, and reaches what a browser cannot — chassis power, remote desktop, and each server’s own management controller.

Backstage
Backstage builds and runs the show. It is where the venue is modeled and the picture is fitted to its real surfaces — flat, curved, dome, spherical, LED, or an imported model of the thing itself — where content is arranged in time, and where the logic that drives it all is programmed.
It plays the result day after day, and it does not need anything outside itself to do so: a broadcast scheduler runs a week plan, which is what a venue with fixed opening hours actually wants. Where there is a control system, Backstage answers to it — over a show-control protocol, from a web console built in Backstage itself, or over HTTP. The interface is streamed rather than local, so several people can work on one server at the same time.

Calibrator
Calibrator aligns a multi-projector system from photographs of the screen, to simulation-grade accuracy. Where a projection carries more than a couple of blends, or lands on a screen that is not flat, matching it by hand is very hard and holding it there is harder still. Everything in the light path also moves with temperature — the building, the screen, the mounts and the projectors themselves — so alignment is a routine rather than a commissioning task, and recalibration runs from a button, work for the venue’s own staff rather than a visiting specialist.
Backstage carries Calibrator Lite, which covers a flat or cylindrical screen from a single camera position. Calibrator itself takes several cameras and any screen shape, and is licensed as an add-on per projector; black level calibration is a separate add-on.

Conductor
Conductor programs everything that moves. Lighting, effects, motion bases, ride platforms and animatronics are drawn as curves on a timeline rather than typed as cue lists, and numeric channels can enforce speed and acceleration limits, so a programmed axis stays inside what the machine can physically take. It records and replays DMX, Art-Net and sACN.
Its link to Backstage runs both ways: starting a sequence in Backstage brings the matching timeline up and plays it, and dragging Conductor’s locator moves Backstage’s picture to the same frame.
