What BroadcastSys
Actually Produces

These are real deliverables from a recent OB-truck tender — not mockups, not previews. Zoom in to see the depth: cable-level schematic detail, dimensioned floor plans, and a multi-page A3 pack with the engineering rationale on every line.

Detail Schematic

Every port, every cable, every connector. Vector-preserved end-to-end so the client can zoom in the printed pack and verify routing port by port.

Floor Plan

Wall geometry, equipment placement, dimensions, doors, and zone boundaries. DXF import for existing CAD; pen tool and dimension chains for new builds.

Tender Drawing Pack

Project snapshot, design basis, methodology, traceability matrix, schematics, costs, programme — one signed deliverable, generated from the same authored model.

The Problem

Systems Design Information
is Fragmented

Equipment lists in spreadsheets. Floor plans in CAD. Schematics in Visio. Costs calculated separately. Project timelines disconnected. Documentation scattered across tools.

Disconnected Data

Equipment specs, costs, and layouts exist in separate files with no connection between them.

Manual Updates

Change one piece of equipment and you must manually update drawings, schedules, and cost sheets.

Inconsistent Documentation

Drawing packs assembled manually from different sources with varying formats and standards.

The Solution: Connected Workflow

BroadcastSys brings equipment, costs, layouts, schematics, and planning into one platform. Define your equipment once, and it flows through floor plans, schematics, schedules, and exports automatically. No manual syncing. No disconnected files.

End-to-End Process

Complete Systems Design Workflow

From initial equipment specification to final drawing pack export, every stage is connected in a single platform.

01

Project Setup

Create project, define scope, set client details and project parameters.

02

Equipment & Specs

Define all equipment with specifications, inputs, outputs, and technical details.

03

Cost Calculation

Calculate project costs with equipment, labour, and contingency budgets.

04

Floor Plans

Build architectural layouts with walls, rooms, and equipment placement.

05

Schematics

Create signal flow diagrams with equipment connections and cable types.

06

Critical Path

Build task dependencies and identify critical implementation paths.

07

Gantt Timeline

Visualize project schedule with task durations and dependencies.

08

Export Pack

Generate professional A3 drawing packs with all documentation.

Engineering-Grade
Drawing Packs

Generate complete documentation sets with professional A3 drawings, title blocks, borders, and legends. Export floor plans, schematics, equipment lists, cost reports, and project schedules as print-ready PDF documents.

Vector-Preserved Schematics

Detail schematics print as vector PDF — clients zoom in to verify cabling at port level. No pixelation, no rasterisation.

Multi-System Packs

One project produces N system designs (OB1 + OB2, Studio + OB) into a single signed pack with per-system schematics, racks, and costs.

Engineered Defence on Every Line

Traceability matrix, design-basis context, and rationale fields surface the why behind every spec, not just the what.
