The KISS Principle
KISS is an acronym for “Keep It Simple, Stupid” as a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960. The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complex, therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.

We are KissBox
Flexible AV Control Over Standard Ethernet Networks
AV and entertainment systems increasingly rely on Ethernet to connect equipment across rooms, buildings and larger installations. KissBox allows established control protocols to operate across this network infrastructure without requiring dedicated point-to-point cabling for every connection. The KissBox range supports:
-
RS232/422/485 - Serial control for professional AV and other connected devices.
-
DMX - Networked control for lighting and entertainment applications.
-
Analogue & Digital I/O - Flexible input and output control for wider system integration.
-
MIDI - Reliable MIDI communication across IP networks.
-
LTC Timecode - Timecode distribution for broadcast, production and live environments.
Different KissBox products support different communication protocols, including RTP-MIDI, ArtNet and the Kiss-IP protocol, giving integrators flexibility when building networked control systems.
Built for Professional AV Integration
KissBox interfaces can be used point-to-point, point-to-software or point-to-hardware, giving integrators flexibility in how control is distributed throughout a system.
​
Products can integrate with control platforms including Crestron, AMX and Q-SYS while using standard network hardware. All KissBox products also support Power over Ethernet (PoE), helping to reduce additional cabling and power requirements.
With DIN rail and rack mounting options available, KissBox can be incorporated into anything from individual AV installations to larger distributed control environments.
Reliable Control Across AV and Entertainment
KissBox products are used across a wide range of professional applications, from theme parks and museums to live shows, broadcast environments, studios and professional AV installations.
​
The flexibility to transport different control signals over Ethernet makes KissBox particularly useful where equipment needs to communicate across rooms, buildings or larger sites.
​
Real-world applications have included MIDI over LAN for live performance, DMX control within museums, MIDI and DMX interfaces at automotive events and MIDI interfaces within television automation systems.
The KISS Principle
KissBox takes its name from the KISS principle: Keep It Simple and Straightforward.
Professional AV and control systems can be complex, but connecting devices across a network doesn't have to be.
That philosophy sits at the heart of the KissBox approach. By providing robust, practical interfaces between established control technologies and Ethernet networks, KissBox helps AV professionals build systems that are easier to install, integrate and expand.
​
Whether you need to connect a single control device or create a distributed system across multiple locations, the aim remains the same: keep the infrastructure straightforward and give integrators the flexibility to choose the right technology for the application.
