About AV-Playground
AV-Playground is a collection of free, browser-based tools for anyone working with audio, video and live events. It's made by a technician, for technicians.
Hi, I'm Misak Nalbandian, an AV guy based in Sweden! I've been in this industry for around 25 years and have had the chance to wear quite a few hats along the way: Graphic Designer, Photographer, Sound Technician, Camera Operator, Media Producer, Broadcast & Events Technology Engineer, Live Event AV Technician, plus installing AV and live show systems. These days I work full time as Product Owner for AV Technologies at a great company.
Honestly, it's the small everyday problems I love most. Something breaks, I troubleshoot it, and suddenly I've got a new idea. That's what keeps work, and life, fun for me. When I couldn't find a good tool for a problem, I just built one myself. They made my job easier, so why not share them? They're all free, right here.
What's here
- AirTime: a clean countdown timer and clock for broadcast and live events
- LTC Generator: linear timecode straight from your browser
- AV Lab: experiments, handy utilities and whatever I'm tinkering with right now
Heads up: all three are still in beta! I'm not a full-time developer, just an AV guy who knows his way around code, with some help from AI. I work on these in my spare time, mostly evenings and weekends, so updates come whenever I've got some time to spare. There might be a rough edge or two along the way.
Everything runs right in your browser, with nothing to install. You can try any tool for 4 hours without an account. After that, just sign in once, which helps me keep the tools for the people who actually use them.
Found a bug or got an idea? Just drop me a line on the contact page. And if you find the tools useful and feel like buying me a coffee, a small donation is always appreciated. It really keeps me going and helps me build more fun and useful AV and broadcast tools.
Have an idea for a tool, or feedback on an existing one?
