Located in San Francisco, SP Controls, Inc. is a manufacturer of innovative audio-visual control products. The company was founded in 1995 when years of work in audio-visual and LCD projector system installation revealed an opening for a dedicated single projector control system.

The SmartPanel represents the culmination of the company's experience and research into the use of projectors in pedagogical, professional and communications settings.

The company is based on the belief that simple, intuitive control of complex audio-visual equipment is both possible and necessary.
