How It Works

Three phases of one intelligent control system. Today it sees, understands, and tells — that's Observer Mode, shipping now, alongside what you already own. Direct Control and automation follow, arriving on your timeline, never a vendor's.

Phase 1 · Shipped

Observer Mode

Read-only deploy · runs alongside your stack

Phase 2 · Roadmap

Direct Control

Per-room migration · processor optional

Phase 3 · Roadmap

Automation

Configuration, not code · no scripting

Phase 1: Observer Mode

Status: Shipped

Vera deploys as a single appliance on your AV network — one box, pre-configured, working without internet. Your existing processors, DSPs, and control systems keep running exactly as they are. Vera reads across the vendors on your rack — understanding what each device is doing, catching the moment it drifts from what was set, and telling you before the room does. Read-only out of the box; it never touches a live room.

Phase 1 includes:

·Cross-vendor monitoring from one screen.
·Desired vs. observed state, checked against what each device actually reports — so drift surfaces the moment it appears.
·Signal intelligence and anomaly detection.
·Role-based access control. Full audit trail with trace IDs.
·Real-time status across your devices.
·Fleet visibility: firmware versions and live device state across the vendors on your rack.
·Alerts where you already work — your team's chat, ticketing, or webhook — when a device drops or fails.

Phase 2: Direct Control

Status: Roadmap

When you're ready, rooms move to Direct Control at your pace — device by device, Vera takes over each room you migrate, until the processor that locks you in becomes optional.

The goal: work that takes a control programmer hours is designed to collapse to a single command, so your team can set room behavior without proprietary scripting. Migration is yours to stage — one room at a time, legacy rooms staying in Observer Mode as long as you like. Direct Control is optional, not mandatory.

Phase 3: Automation Without Programming

Status: Roadmap

Configuration, not code — by design. Describe an outcome — "route the laptop to the boardroom displays, set the audio mix to presentation" — and Vera is designed to resolve it against the device map and carry it out. No script to write.

The Architecture

Vera is a single on-prem appliance that speaks the protocols your devices already expose. It authenticates, tracks each device's state, and flags drift entirely on the box — monitoring keeps working without internet.

Deployment

Vera ships as a managed appliance. One box. Your network. From day one, Observer Mode is live. Its signal intelligence then learns each device's baseline and begins flagging anomalies and scoring health, device by device, across the vendors on your rack — giving you the data to decide your next move.
