Venue Control & BirdBrain TV
The operator nerve center for everything guests see and hear.
Run the sound, the lights, the music, the cameras, and every screen in the building, all from one iPad. No more juggling a separate app per device. One person can own the whole room.
Why it matters
Sound, lighting, screens, and music. One iPad.
Most hospitality software stops at the back office. BirdBrain Venue Control reaches into the room itself, sound, lights, music, screens, cameras, and smart-building controls, all from the same app you already run events from. It's the layer that turns what's planned on the calendar into what actually plays at the door, at dinner, and at showtime.
Who it's for
For the GMs, AV techs, and ops leads who today bounce between a mixer app, a lighting console, a music app, a signage portal, and a camera feed. One person runs the whole room without learning five vendor tools, and leadership gets one way to manage screens and systems across every location.

01
One control plane for the whole room
Open the Venue hub and the whole room is in front of you: what's playing, what's on next, and whether every system is healthy. Run the next cue, switch the mood, or fix anything that needs a nudge, all from one screen. One manager, real-time command of everything guests see and hear.

Real audio and lighting hardware, not a dashboard mockup
This isn't a pretty dashboard, it drives the gear already racked at your venue. Mix the sound, set each zone, and fire lighting looks straight from the iPad. Save a moment once and it recalls itself, dimming the room and cueing the sound at showtime without anyone running for a console.

Venue music that is planned, licensed, and accountable
Pick your music service, assign playlists to events, and start the night with one tap. BirdBrain is honest about licensing, so you know which path is cleared for public play. Plan a full night once, sound, lights, and music in sequence, then save it and reuse it for the next event.

A managed Apple TV fleet you can actually run at scale
Every Apple TV in the building runs your content, menus, event spotlights, and dashboards, and you manage them all from the iPad. See which screens are live, push a video to any screen on the fly, and take over every display at once when it matters. Add the cameras and building controls, and the whole room reports back to one place.

Why it beats the point tools
No single rival pulls this together. Operators stitch a mixer remote, a separate zone controller, a lighting laptop, a music app, a signage portal, and a camera feed, each with its own login and no shared sense of the night. BirdBrain collapses it into one iPad the same manager already uses for events and service, with one set of permissions and one timeline that runs sound, lights, and screens together. Two honest touches land with operators: clear music-licensing warnings most tools stay silent on, and screen management that reads like the real thing, not a consumer casting trick.
Where it fits your plan
Venue Control is the headline reason venues move up to Pro ($149/mo), the full operational stack reaching into the physical room. The deep hardware control and night-planning timeline are exactly the depth Pro buyers want. For groups, the managed screen fleet is where Enterprise earns its keep: one policy for screens and systems across the portfolio, with venue-level overrides intact.
