Welcome to AVstudio Inc. — the spin-off from AVgator Studio, built to push boundaries and set new standards in UI design for AV control systems.
Our mission stays the same: give AV integrators, designers, and programmers a tool that cuts development time by up to 80% and helps deliver world-class interfaces without complex coding or compromise.
What this move means for you:
Product-first focus – AVstudio development is now our only priority.
More resources – growing our team, attracting investment, scaling faster.
It’s been a little over a week since InfoComm 2025 wrapped up in Orlando, and now that we’ve caught our breath, it’s time to reflect on what turned out to be an incredible show — both for the AVGator team and the broader AV industry.
Our booth was buzzing with conversations, live demos, and hands-on exploration of AVStudio.app, the cloud-based HTML5 GUI editor that’s rapidly gaining momentum. In just three days, we saw a 12% increase in new user registrations and a 27% boost in individual license sales — a clear sign that AV professionals are embracing the shift toward HTML5-based GUI design.
Why All the Buzz?
It seems the entire AV Industry is moving fast toward HTML5:
🧩 Leading Control System Manufacturers are rolling out HTML5-only support on their touch panels
🧩 Integrators — large and small — are training AV engineers in JavaScript, React, and other web development frameworks
🧩 And manufacturers across product categories — from UC and room scheduling to signal distribution and digital signage — are looking for flexible, future-ready GUI solutions
AVstudio just happens to be in the right place at the right time. Why? Because it’s built for AV professionals by AV integrators — with years of real-world project experience behind it.
As the AVGator founder — Vadim Chekirka says:
“Try to train an AV engineer to become a web developer, and you’ll lose a great AV engineer… and gain a mediocre programmer.”
That’s exactly why AVStudio bridges the gap — empowering AV engineers to build fully custom, responsive GUIs without writing a line of HTML/CSS/JS. With a product shaped by certified Crestron control system experts and web developers working side-by-side, over 900 AV professionals are already designing smarter with AVStudio.
What we Showcased at InfoComm 2025
Visitors at our booth got hands-on with the latest release of AVStudio — the cloud-based HTML5 GUI editor, and it quickly became one of the most talked-about tools on the floor.
Here’s what we demoed:
⚡One-Click Autonomic Media Player Widget– Add a fully functional media player interface to your GUI just by entering the IP address. Zone control, source selection, metadata, artwork — no scripting required.
⚡Global Caché Integration– Seamlessly connect AVStudio to Global Caché devices via HTTP. Easily control IR, RS-232, and relay-based devices.
⚡NETIO PDU Control– Live outlet management using AVStudio: power on/off, toggling, and status monitoring in real time.
⚡Node-RED Bridge & Proxy Server– Showcased how AVStudio integrates with open platforms for custom automation and API-based control.
⚡Crestron & 3rd-Party Touchscreens– AVStudio designs were deployed across native Crestron, Android, and any HTML5-compatible panels.
🌐Multi-Language GUI Support– A must-have for global installations, with seamless language switching.
Each integration wasn’t just functional — it was a piece of GUI art: responsive, intuitive, and deployment-ready.

Orlando, FL – June 09, 2025— AVgator®, the creator of AVStudio.app, a powerful and intuitive GUI design platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Global Caché, the leading independent manufacturer of IP and WiFi enabling connectivity products for the control and automation market. This collaboration combines Global Caché’s robust hardware products with AVgator’s flexible software tools, delivering integrators a streamlined, cost-effective solution for building custom control systems.
The integration enables custom GUIs designed in AVStudio to send HTTP commands directly to Global Caché devices, such as Global Connect. This direct communication reduces latency, accelerates device response times, and simplifies system troubleshooting.
System integrators benefit from AVStudio’s user-friendly GUI builder that requires no driver development for Global Caché hardware.
Global Caché partners now have a tested solution for adding custom GUIs to the control systems quickly and without heavy development overhead.
In scalable systems such as digital signage, multi-room AV, or small automation projects, this integration makes it feasible to include a fully custom GUI, where it was previously too expensive or time-consuming to develop.
This partnership opens doors for custom interfaces in environments that were previously limited by time, budget, or security constraints, such as classrooms, government, or military facilities

AVStudio enables control systems using Global Caché connectivity products to offer tailored user experiences across various applications: residential, corporate, or educational. A custom user interface for a control system no longer means “complicated” or “expensive”. It means that control systems can now be designed around specific user needs, whether they ask for a unique, creative UI that reflects their vision and matches their unique style, or they want a minimalistic design with just an on/off function. ”
“We’re excited to partner with Global Caché to offer integrators and control system developers a seamless, end-to-end solution that bridges hardware and software,” said Vadim Chekirka, Founder and President of AVgator. “This collaboration empowers both AVgator and Global Caché integrators to deliver high-quality, customized control interfaces for even more customer satisfaction and greater user experience.”
“Our connectivity products are built to enable IP and WiFi connectivity simply and reliably,” said Robin Ford, VP of Business Development at Global Caché.“This partnership with AVgator provides powerful GUI capabilities to our customers, giving integrators a smarter, faster way to create tailored control interfaces with seamless integration with our products.”

About Autonomic Controls, Inc.
Founded in 2006 when digital music was in its infancy, the company was founded with the goal to bridge users’ digital libraries with the high-end control systems used by custom integrators. They were the first company to enable the native browsing and playback of DRM-protected iTunes libraries without the need for an iPod dock. In 2009, they released the world’s first cloud-connected music server, the MMS-5. Over the years they have further refined their product line and technology before being acquired by SnapAV (now SnapOne) in 2016. In May of 2020, co-founder Michael de Nigris reacquired the company along with a core group of original employees. With a renewed passion, Autonomic continues to be the leading innovator of digital media solutions for integrators and manufacturers in the custom electronics industry.
