A small hand-built box that lives behind any screen and decides what it shows. Plays its own loop until someone walks up. Wakes to the touch. If anything breaks, the audience never sees it — three seconds and it's back. One HDMI cable. Re-brandable per room. Built to run forever.
Take the controls for a few minutes. We'll send a heads-up when your slot opens. One drive at a time, fair-queue.
We use this to time your slot and let you know when it's ready. No newsletter, no resale. Just one box, one operator at a time.

Keep this tab open. We'll hand you the controls automatically when your slot opens.

Scroll down to the demo and play with mode, knobs, sources. Your slot auto-releases when the timer hits zero.

↑ This is the rig itself, live. Visitors watch; the driver of the slot turns the knobs. Click drive the rig in the hero to take the controls.
Anything goes wrong, you don't see it. The box catches itself, falls to a brand-true still, comes back when it's ready. The audience never knows.
Plays its own loop until somebody walks up with a knob. Switches to live in the time it takes to feel like it heard you. Drifts back when the room goes quiet.
Any TV, smart board, projector, LED wall. The display does whatever it already does. The box does the part nobody else does.
Palette, wordmark, ambient still, motion style — all swappable per event. Your brand on Tuesday, a sponsor's on Wednesday. Themes are just files.
Any cameras you give it — USB, network, room system — composited live with feedback, gain, color shift. Pull the room into the picture. Or don't.
MIDI, motion, touch — all hot-pluggable. Bind a control to anything visible in seconds. Save the look. Hand the controller to the next person.
If a black screen, a frozen logo, or a Windows update notification in front of your audience would be a problem, this is for you.
Re-theme per sponsor in minutes. Hand an attendee a knob and let them play. Survives a full show day without a babysitter, and never shows a crash on the floor.
Ambient motion all day, on brand, on any screen you already own. No media player to reboot, no playlist to babysit, no desktop ever showing through.
Composite your cameras, push it through 50 looks, drive it from MIDI or touch. Save the look, hand off the controller. Reacts to the room in real time.
Per-client themes are just files. Drop it behind a client's existing display, brand it, walk away. It manages itself and recovers itself.
Unattended for weeks. Boots into ambient on power, falls to a clean still on any fault, comes back on its own. No staff intervention.
Every box reports in. See what's online, what it's showing, push a theme to all of them, pin a version for an event. Cloud-managed when you want it, local-first always.
Plug GlitchRig into any HDMI display — TV, smart board, projector. The box decides what shows. The display does what displays do. You don't manage either of them.
Default. Boots here. Plays the loop. Doesn't ask for attention. Stays out of the way until the room wants it back.
Interactive. Cameras and controls. Twist a knob, the picture follows. Two-second silence and it slides back to ambient on its own.
Backstop. Anything fails, you see a brand-correct still — never an error, never the desktop. Recovers itself when ready.
