TeaParty® is the software-based show and system controller in the Mad Systems AV++® architecture. It provides deterministic, event-triggered coordination of media playback, lighting, power management, motion control, and environmental effects across any number of devices. Routines consist of discrete cues - triggered by timers, visitor input, exhibit mechanisms, sensor states, or scheduled events - that execute with sub-frame timing precision. Running on standard non-proprietary QuickSilver® compute nodes, TeaParty® is remotely manageable and field-serviceable without specialized vendor support.
TeaParty® manages the coordination of dozens or hundreds of endpoints - lighting, projection, audio, animatronics, fog, special effects, power management - with sub-frame timing precision. It handles scheduled shows, automated opening and closing sequences, event-triggered responses, and continuous ambient environments. TeaParty® runs on QuickSilver® nodes across all four QuickSilver® deployment configurations: fully distributed, centralized, hybrid, and reverse hybrid.
