AV system design

Build AV systems with topology, cabling, and quote logic in the same model.

Use LV-Architect to lay out AV devices, generate realistic signal flow, and produce the riser, BOM, cable schedule, and narrative needed for review and estimating.

01

Pick the AV room type

Start from a room use case such as conference, training, boardroom, classroom, or performance space.

02

Place AV endpoints

Add displays, table inputs, cameras, speakers, mics, control panels, and rack or table equipment.

03

Review the generated system

Check the riser, routing, BOM, cabling, and warnings before exporting.

Models real AV signal chains

The engine distinguishes displays, cameras, codecs, switchers, DSPs, amplifiers, speakers, control processors, AV-over-IP endpoints, and HDBaseT extension.

  • Conference systems track camera, content, display, audio, and control paths.
  • HDBaseT and AVoIP endpoints are treated as physical devices, not decorative labels.
  • Speaker systems account for 70V and low-impedance assumptions.

Output for review and quoting

Every generated AV output is meant to be traceable: what device connects to what, what medium is used, and what the estimator should count.

  • Riser diagrams show system tiers and physical media.
  • BOM rows identify major equipment, accessories, and infrastructure.
  • Cable schedule rows help catch missing pulls before proposal review.

Common questions

These answers are visible on the page and mirrored in structured data so crawlers see the same content users do.

Can it help explain how to build an AV system?

Yes. The generated output shows the relationship between sources, processing, distribution, outputs, control, and infrastructure so the system can be reviewed logically.

Does it generate final stamped AV drawings?

No. It creates a standards-aware design and quoting package for review. Final engineered deliverables remain the responsibility of the project team and engineer of record where required.
