Capabilities

Built for the way
shows actually run.

Six details that separate a presenter portal from a tool the AV team trusts on the show floor.

Day folders, auto-organized

Multi-day events get a folder per day automatically — Day 1 Keynote, Day 2 Panel, etc. The right files land on the right day, never mixed up at the rack.

Multi-day Auto-grouped

SHA-256 verified on arrival

Every file is hashed at upload and re-verified after download on the desktop. Corrupt or tampered files get rejected before they reach your stage.

256-bit hash Tamper-proof

Every format crews actually use

PowerPoint, Keynote, PDF, MP4, and MOV — the five formats that cover 99% of conference content. Up to 4 GB per file, so a 60-minute 1080p sponsor reel uploads without ceremony.

Auto-push on reconnect

Desktop drops Wi-Fi mid-show? The next time it reconnects, the server checks for anything missed and pushes it down — no manual sync, no "did you get the latest" texts.

Resilient Auto-recover

Every action logged

Upload, approve, reject, push, receive, ack — all timestamped in the BC activity log with author and IP. Pull a complete chain of custody for any file, any time.

HIPAA-aware, BAA-ready

Medical conferences with PHI in the slides? Encryption at rest in DigitalOcean Spaces, encrypted in transit, BAA available, and access logged. PHI handling baked into the platform.

AES-256 at rest TLS 1.2+
Built for the show floor

When the network blinks,
the show keeps going.

File sync is one of those features that has to work the first time, every time, even when the venue Wi-Fi has other ideas. We learned this the hard way at events. Here's what holds it together when things get weird:

  • DNS retry, exponential backoff
    Venue Wi-Fi DNS hiccups don't kill a sync. The desktop retries on its own with backoff until the file lands.
  • Multi-instance safe
    Postgres advisory locks ensure two server instances never push the same file twice — even during a rolling deploy mid-event.
  • Heartbeat + auto-resume
    Every 30 seconds the desktop pings home. Miss too many, server flags it offline. Reconnect, pending pushes resume from where they stopped.
  • End-to-end push under a minute
    Approve click to file on the laptop typically takes <1 min, even with full SHA verification and DNU archival of the previous version.
