Broadcast
Broadcast systems, where the signal chain has to be right the first time
Broadcast is signal integrity under deadline. A studio or OB build is hundreds of SDI, Dante, and ST 2110 connections where one wrong connector or missing tie-line is found on air, not on paper. The racks are dense, the paths are redundant, and the whole thing gets rebuilt for the next show.
What makes broadcast different
One wrong connector is found on air
SDI, MADI, Dante, and 2110 do not forgive a mismatched port. The signal flow has to validate connector and signal type end to end before the patch list is printed, not after the truck rolls.
The rack is the design
Broadcast racks run dense and hot, with redundant feeds and specific U positions that matter for airflow and patching. The elevation is not documentation after the fact, it is the thing you design against.
It gets rebuilt every show
OB and flexible studio setups are reconfigured constantly. The value is a saved, versioned model you reload and adjust, not a CAD file someone redraws each time.
What you use for it
Connector & signal validation
Avitly models each port on two axes, the physical connector and the signal it carries, and refuses a link that cannot work. A BNC audio cable will not plug into an SDI video port. Catch mistakes on screen, not on site.
Rack elevations
Build racks in U and drag gear into slots at full, half, or quarter width. Collision detection stops overlaps and finds the next open slot, so every rack is laid out before you order.
Cable runs with real lengths
Route cabling along conduits and let Avitly work out true length: horizontal run, slack, and the vertical drop a top-down plan cannot show. Priced per metre, with an over-length warning per cable type.
Device config files
Upload device config files, each linked to the exact product it belongs to, so the config travels with the gear.
Device credentials vault
Store logins, IP addresses, and passwords per device, encrypted at rest, so the install team has what it needs on site without hunting through old emails. Credentials sit outside every integration on purpose: no API key can read them, and no assistant has a tool that reaches them, at any level of access.
Versioned end to end
Floor plans, quotes, racks, and wiring all snapshot per revision. Drag floor plans and quotes on the version board to link a revision, and see exactly what the customer was sent and accepted.
The signal-flow editor checks every connection by connector and signal type as you draw it, so the patch schedule and cable lengths come off a diagram that is already correct. The rack elevation and device records travel with it into the next rebuild.
Other spaces we build for
AV installers
Run AV installs from design to sign-off: an accurate bill of materials, routed cable lengths, crew scheduling, and on-site check-off that ties every task to the actual device.
IT integrators
Plan network and low-voltage installs on one model: rack elevations, PoE and structured cabling, device credentials, config files, and API access to the record you build.
System integrators
One system for the whole integration business: design, quote with live margin, send signed offers, hand installers the build, and keep service records, without re-entry between tools.
Design it once. Sell it, install it, service it.
Avitly runs the whole install off one floor plan: quote, client-signed offer, bill of materials, rack layout, then device credentials and tickets after handover. Presales to maintenance, no re-entry.
