Instant source switching
Put any source on any screen—or every screen—without walking the venue. DirecTV, streaming devices, cameras, laptops, and signage all live in one interface.
Current platform
Control the venue.
Not the remote control basket.
EFF:DAVE puts sources, screens, zones, channels, saved layouts, and equipment recovery into one operator interface built for live service.
What it does today
One interface.
Every daily action.
Control the signal, the screen, and the recovery path without teaching your staff how the rack works.
Saved venue layouts
Build Sunday NFL, UT Gameday, Trivia Night, and Last Call once. One tap puts the entire venue exactly where it belongs.
Channel control
Change channels on individual DirecTV receivers from the dashboard. Control compatible streaming devices from the same place.
Groups and zones
Run the patio, main bar, dining area, and private event space as zones, then override one screen whenever a customer asks.
Live system status
See what is actually playing on every screen in real time—not what the system was told to play five minutes ago.
Remote recovery
Restart a locked screen, receiver, or equipment rack from the dashboard. Most failures never become a ladder or a service call.
Shift-proof operation
A locked-down tablet with large, obvious controls. A new hire can operate the venue after a two-minute walkthrough.
Activity history
Every change is recorded: what changed, when it changed, and where the request came from.
The operational difference
Fewer chores.
A better venue.
BeforeWith EFF:DAVE
45 minutes walking the floor before service✓One saved layout before the doors open
A remote control basket full of mislabeled or dead remotes✓One locked-down tablet
Staff on ladders during a rush✓Changes made from behind the bar
Customer requests that take five minutes✓Handled before the next drink is poured
Screens stuck on menus, standby, or the wrong game✓Live status for every display
A costly redesign when the venue grows✓Add network cable and another endpoint
The bottom line: one person can run fifty screens without leaving the bar. The venue stays intentional, and the staff stays focused on customers.
Why it is different
Built as a control platform,
not another box.
The system is modular and network-based. Adding screens does not mean replacing a fixed-size switching chassis.
