◈
Bring the systems together.
Organise media, outputs, control connections and realtime engines as reusable resources. Keep the systems that make the show visible and available from one project.
Realtime show automation for Windows
Run media, realtime systems and control from one show sequence.
Showmesh is a Windows-native show automation workspace for building and operating live shows. Bring playback, realtime graphics, control signals and external systems into one cue-based workflow—then see exactly what is live, what comes next and what the system is doing.
Showmesh is in active development. Early access is for operators, designers and technical teams who want to help shape the product.

Your show already works as one system. Your software should too.
Live productions rarely depend on a single type of content. A cue may start a video, change a realtime visual, send control data, route an output and prepare the next state—all while the operator watches timing, connections and system health.
When those tasks are spread across separate applications, the operator becomes the integration layer. Showmesh is being built to bring that work into one readable sequence.
- Fewer disconnected control surfaces during a show
- Less manual coordination between media and external systems
- A clearer relationship between cues, actions and triggers
- Better visibility of current state, next state and system health
- One workflow from programming and rehearsal to live operation
Connect. Automate. Run.
One workspace for everything that makes the show.
⇄
Describe the outcome once.
Define what should change, when it should happen and what should trigger it. Build repeatable cue behaviour instead of coordinating the same steps by hand every night.
▶
Operate with confidence.
See the current cue, remaining time, next cue, active actions, incoming control and warnings without losing the run order.
Resource → Action → Trigger
Build what should happen, not another workaround.
Showmesh is based on a simple automation model that can scale across different types of show technology.
What can be controlled
Resource
A video, audio file, image, output, connection, realtime engine or other system used by the show.
What changes
Action
Fade a parameter, change volume, route an output, send a command or control another resource.
When it happens
Trigger
Cue start, cue stop, timeline position, timecode, OSC, MIDI or deliberate manual execution.
The same model can describe a simple playback cue or a coordinated sequence across media, graphics and external systems. Your show remains readable even as the automation becomes more capable.
Know what is live. Know what is next.
During a live show, clarity is not a convenience. It is part of the system. Showmesh keeps the run order at the centre while timing, cue actions, live inputs, warnings and output state remain in context.

Deliberate separation between GO and emergency controls
Control that responds in realtime
Let live data become part of the cue.
A show does not always follow a fixed timeline. A performer moves, a sensor changes, timecode advances or another system sends a command.
Showmesh is designed to let OSC, MIDI, timecode and realtime parameters participate in the same cue workflow as media playback. Operators can see where data comes from, what it controls and whether it is live.
From a simple GO command to a parameter continuously driven by live input, the relationship remains visible inside the show sequence.

More than a playlist
Move from playback to realtime without changing the operating model.
Shows increasingly combine conventional media with generative graphics, interactive visuals and GPU-driven effects. Showmesh is being designed so those systems can live beside video, audio, images and control cues without becoming a separate workflow for the operator.
Media playback
Video, audio, images and text organised in a cue-based sequence.
Realtime graphics
Parameters, states and external visual engines controlled from the same show structure.
Outputs and routing
Program outputs and network video workflows kept visible alongside the cues that use them.
External control
Commands and live data exchanged with the systems already used in the production.
Designed for Windows production systems
Built around the machines already running the room.
Windows is central to many media-server, realtime graphics and live-production workflows. Showmesh is being built for that environment from the beginning—not treated as a secondary platform.
The product direction combines a focused operator interface with native playback, rendering, audio and output paths. The goal is a system that remains responsive to edit and dependable when the show is running.
- Windows-native product direction
- Dedicated separation between operator workflow and playback work
- Hardware-accelerated media and graphics paths
- Support for Windows production technologies such as Spout
- Visible timing, output and engine health
Confidence is a feature
The operator should not have to guess whether the system is ready.
A show-control system must communicate more than success or failure. It should show what is connected, what is missing, what is running and what needs attention before it becomes a live problem.

Integration availability will be labelled clearly as core, in development, planned or exploratory. Early-access conversations help determine which production workflows should be prioritised first.
Keep the power. Remove the fragmentation.
Showmesh is for technical teams who need more than playback but do not want the operator juggling an improvised collection of control panels. It brings the sequence, automation model and live state together so the show can become more capable without becoming harder to understand.
- Cue-first enough to learn quickly
- Extensible enough for complex automation
- Windows-first for modern production environments
- Designed around live operator confidence
- Built to connect media and realtime systems
- Honest about system state and development state
