Cascade is designed as a modern, AI-first hardware monitoring solution for developers, gamers, and system administrators.
A single-operator AV programmer workbench — one tool to replace PuTTY, Wireshark, and dedicated RS232/API command-testing utilities. Connect, command, scan, validate, and troubleshoot networked and serial hardware from a single browser-based UI.
Stop switching between PuTTY, Wireshark, serial terminals, and REST clients
Telnet, SSH, UDP, REST, RS232, BACnet — all in one console with ASCII and HEX views. WebSocket live streaming for real-time TX/RX.
Pre-built commands for Extron, Crestron, Biamp, Q-SYS, Sony, Samsung, Epson, VISCA PTZ, Lutron, BACnet, and 20+ more vendors.
Discover devices on your network with ARP, DNS, and port scanning. Device enrichment with manufacturer lookup and service detection.
Built-in PCAP capture and analysis powered by Scapy. Filter, track, and export packets without leaving the workbench.
mDNS/Zeroconf Dante endpoint discovery, PTP analysis, matrix profiles, and staged configurations for audio network validation.
Port scanning, TLS probing, VPN detection, firewall checks, and IGMP multicast analysis for network validation.
Built-in scripting language with variables, loops, conditionals, retries, and capture. One-click macro buttons for common workflows.
Automated diagnostics before connecting: DNS resolution, TCP probe, TLS check, VPN detection, firewall/GPO analysis.
Gemini-powered command suggestions, protocol help, script generation, and troubleshooting. Uses TantuLabs AI tokens or your own API key.
Connect to anything — from legacy RS232 projectors to modern REST APIs
