Easy for the Whole Team
Give bartenders and managers a clear, visual way to operate TVs—without memorizing receiver locations or juggling remotes.
From simple DirecTV channel control to complete HDMI video distribution, Cinemar makes managing every screen in your venue easy—all from one intuitive touchscreen. A custom venue floor plan helps staff find and control TVs quickly, with audio source switching and independent zoned volume control available.
Changing channels shouldn't mean searching for remotes, walking from TV to TV, or figuring out which receiver controls which screen.
Cinemar puts venue-wide control at your staff's fingertips. With your actual venue floor plan on the touchscreen, employees can quickly find the TV they need and change DirecTV channels or select available video sources, depending on the system.
Less confusion for your staff. Faster responses to guests. More time to focus on your business.
