Satellite and cable
DIRECTV commercial receivers
Channel changes, power, and per-screen tuning across the room.
What it runs
TavernSync speaks each device in its own native protocol. There is no adapter box between your gear and ours, no proprietary replacement for the switcher you bought two years ago, and nothing to rip out.
Satellite and cable
Channel changes, power, and per-screen tuning across the room.
Multi-zone audio
Zone volume, source selection and muting, on a nought-to-a-hundred scale wherever you touch it.
Video switching and walls
Input routing, display power over the HDMI control channel, and video-wall layouts.
Running something not listed here? That is a normal conversation, not a dead end — see below.
Why this list can grow
Everything above the equipment layer speaks in plain verbs — change channel, set zone volume, apply favorite. The vendor-specific part, every byte of it, lives inside a driver for that device family.
Your tablets never send a vendor command. Your manager’s phone never sees a device’s internal range. Volume is nought to a hundred everywhere, and becomes whatever peculiar scale the processor wants at the last possible moment.
That is why supporting a new receiver is a contained piece of work. If adding one ever forced us to change how commands are routed or how your schedule runs, the design would be wrong — and that is a line we hold deliberately.
Some equipment cannot report its own state. Many audio processors document one-way control only, and some satellite firmware refuses a status query while happily accepting commands.
TavernSync does not paper over that. Where a value was set but cannot be confirmed, the screen says so — in grey, in italics, with the time. A number that might be wrong is shown as a number that might be wrong.
Makes and models, and which rooms they serve. We will tell you honestly what works today, what would need a driver written, and what we would not take your money for.
