Who is WireFlow for?

Production companies, AV techs, LED engineers, broadcast crews, integrators, and anyone who needs show documentation that survives load-in.

When to use this

Use this to decide whether WireFlow fits your shop, or to explain the product to stakeholders who ask "who is this for?"

Primary users

  • Live production companies planning multi-camera shows, corporate events, and festivals
  • AV technicians and freelancers who document signal path before every gig
  • LED wall techs and video engineers sizing walls and processor paths
  • Broadcast and streaming teams mapping encoders, routers, and IFB/comms
  • Low-voltage and AV integrators documenting rack builds for handoff
  • Event production teams coordinating video, audio, and lighting infrastructure
  • Small AV companies and DJs who outgrew napkin sketches but do not need full CAD

Roles on a typical show

Different people touch different pieces of the same project. A TD might own the main diagram while a rack tech owns elevations and patch fields.

  • Technical Director / Lead Engineer — overall signal flow and system architecture
  • Video Engineer — switcher path, playback, LED processor routing
  • A1 / Audio — console, wireless, Dante/AES paths (same diagram or zone)
  • Rack Tech — rack elevation, PDUs, internal patching
  • LED Tech — cabinet layout, data paths, power circuits
  • Production Manager — share links and PDF exports for client approval

When WireFlow is the right tool

  • You repeat similar rigs but every show changes I/O count or wall size
  • Crew asks for "the diagram" and you keep rebuilding it in three places
  • You need rack drawings installers can follow without opening your laptop
  • You want cable labels pulled from actual port names, not retyped in Excel

When to use something else

  • Architectural venue CAD, rigging plots, or power distro one-lines — WireFlow complements those, it does not replace dedicated CAD
  • Real-time show control or switching — WireFlow documents the plan; it does not run the show
  • Inventory/asset management at warehouse scale — gear lists help on a project; full asset ERP is outside scope
