Monitor and remote control

Gateway is a small freemium Windows software with a large impact. Grid Gateway transforms every connected machine into a fully observable, remotely controllable node in your show system. From live desktop dashboards and always-on overlays to Grid Studio centralised commands, automated workflows, and hardware-level status indicators, everything you need to monitor, manage, and control your systems.

Manage Computers

Gateway is a tool for Windows computers in live entertainment, broadcast and installation scenarios, connected to Grid Studio.

Desktop Background

Gateway locally draws a dynamic desktop wallpaper that displays all information about the system like Up-time, hard-drive space, CPU and RAM usage or network interface configurations.

Device Management

All connected devices can be controlled directly from Grid Studio, allowing users to shut them down, run scripts, or start programs remotely

Start & Close Apps

Start and close applications for automated workflows and no-screen scenarios.

Screen Tally

Execute a screen tally with custom color frames on all connected nodes to inform show staff about cues and special attention situations.

Commands

Execute general commands like Wake On Lan for remote control or run local console commands on the dedicated nodes.

Dynamic Wallpaper

Information right on your desktop

A Wallpaper feature with Grid Gateway instantly turns your desktop background into a live system readout. Choose exactly what you surface, your logo, machine name, CPU and RAM usage, drive space, connected displays, network interfaces, uptime, and custom info fields.

Screen Overlays

Always visible, always identifiable

Fully customisable text, colours, and positioning, Grid Gateway's screen overlay keeps system information visible over every application & every window. For multi-machine and KVM environments for telling systems apart instantly.

Gateway Widget

Bring Machines into UI/UX Interfaces

In the Grid Defaults widget pack inside Grid Studio, a Gateway widget is available. Show Gateway information on the Artboard and build into your UI Dashboards and Control Interfaces.

Build a workflow with Gateway

Commands and Actions in Grid Studio

Commands and Actions let operators trigger, automate, and manage Gateway connected machines directly from Grid Studio Workflows. Launch or kill applications, run console commands, control power states, simulate keypresses, display messages, all remotely, all from one place.

Grid Engine Control

Status at a glance. Right on the hardware

Grid Studio via Grid Gateway takes control of your Grid Engine hardware directly, setting front logo LED colours to signal system states and pushing widget info to the integrated display. Performance metrics, project data, live status: visible on the device itself. Built for control rooms and racks for instant visual feedback.
