# Grid Gateway Overview

**Grid Gateway** is a tool for monitoring and managing Windows-based systems used in live entertainment, broadcast, and installation environments. It connects computers to **Grid Studio**, enabling centralized monitoring, automation, and remote control.

Gateway can display system information directly on the desktop through a dynamic wallpaper, including metrics such as **system uptime, CPU and RAM usage, storage information, and network configuration**.

Through the connection with Grid Studio, systems can be remotely controlled to **start or close applications, execute commands, run scripts, or perform system actions** such as shutdown or reboot. This allows operators to manage multiple machines and automate workflows from a central interface.
