For AV manufacturers

Partner with OpenAVC

We build and maintain a driver for your equipment, and put it in front of the integrators who use OpenAVC.

OpenAVC is a free, open-source control platform. It runs on almost anything: a mini PC, a server, a Raspberry Pi, or our own appliance. Integrators use it to control the equipment in a space, and because it's open, they own what they build and can change it whenever they want.

When your equipment has a driver in OpenAVC, any integrator on the platform can build it into a space. They can even simulate it first, designing and testing the whole space against your equipment before it is on site, or before they have bought it. The easier your product is to design around, the more places it ends up in.

What we do

We write the driver, and we keep it alive.

You don't have to staff it, and you don't have to hand it to a third party and hope. We write it, test it on your real hardware, and update it when your firmware changes. A driver that works well reflects on you, so we treat it like it's ours.

We teach OpenAVC to recognize your equipment.

When you send us a unit, we capture its fingerprint: the way your product answers when something looks for it on the network. From then on, an integrator with your equipment on site has OpenAVC find it, identify it as yours, and install the right driver in one click. Nobody goes hunting for the driver. That fingerprint is the real reason we ask for physical hardware. We can't build it from a spec sheet.

We put your product in front of the people who buy it.

Your equipment gets the "Works with OpenAVC" badge, yours to use wherever it helps you sell, and a place on our partner page. We feature partner equipment in the demos, walkthroughs, and posts we put in front of integrators.

What we ask

Verified means we have run the driver against the real hardware. Anything missing can be added: that is what this page is for, and you can also write your own driver in YAML.
