AV, Cinema & Acoustics
Sabine, screen geometry, AV-IP vs HDBaseT and scene-based planning.
Home cinema, multi-room audio and acoustic planning live and die on a small handful of numbers — RT60, screen height, viewing distance, seat row, processor presets and source routing. These tools encode those numbers in a way that an architect or homeowner can interrogate before the first drawing leaves the studio.
The cinema and lighting scene interactives let you see what a Trinnov + JBL Synthesis room actually does across Film, Sport, Concert and Reference modes — and how a Rako lighting backbone resolves Welcome, Dinner, Goodnight and Away across a reference plan.

11 primary tools, sized for
av & acoustics.
Boardroom Solution Selector
Pick the room, how it is used and the platforms in play, and see a broad meeting-room direction with what to share. A planning aid — not a final design, model list, quantity or budget.
RT60 Acoustic Calculator
Room dimensions and finish materials in, indicative reverberation time and recommended absorber area out. Sabine equation; defensible for early-stage acoustic planning.
Speaker Coverage Planner
Engineering-grade speaker coverage and SPL planner across a source-cited public model catalogue spanning pro touring, commercial audio and architectural speakers. Predicts SPL at listener distance, the horizontal coverage width at that distance on the -6 dB dispersion axis, and the quantity needed for the room.
Room Acoustic Simulator
Drag speakers and subs onto a to-scale room plan and see a free-field broadband SPL heatmap, per-speaker coverage footprints and a plain-language coverage verdict. A fast tentative-coverage estimate across the full K-array, KGEAR, JBL, Bose, QSC, Yamaha and Sonance catalogue — not a measured acoustic simulation; engineering-grade results via EASE Focus or the brief wizard.
LED Wall Size Calculator
Direct-view LED wall sizing across a source-cited model catalogue including Samsung, LG MAGNIT, Sony, Philips, Leyard, Absen, Unilumin, ROE Visual, AOTO, INFiLED, Daktronics, Planar, Nanolumens and more. Cabinet count, native resolution, brightness adequacy, power and weight — with pitch-vs-distance honesty and camera-refresh flags. Sources cited per model.
Projector Throw Distance Calculator
Engineering-grade throw distance calculator across a verified multi-brand projector catalogue — Sony, JVC, Epson, BenQ, LG, Optoma, ViewSonic, Panasonic, Barco, Christie, Canon, InFocus, Maxell, Casio, EIKI, Philips, Nebula, JMGO, Dangbei, Boxlight, ASUS, Leica, Xiaomi, WEMAX, Ricoh and more. Searchable picker, throw range, lens-shift envelope, viewing distance, pixel density, feasibility flags and a custom-throw fallback. Sources cited per model.
Cinema Sizer
Room dimensions in, recommended screen size, seat layout, Atmos format and projector throw out. Reference / Premium / Media-room tiers.
Lighting Scenes Interactive
Tap a scene — Welcome, Dinner, Film, Rest, Away, Goodnight — and watch every circuit, shade, AC zone and AV source shift at once across a reference 4 BHK plan. KNX + Rako + DALI.
Multi-Room Audio Explorer
Tap a room — Lounge, Home Theatre, Kitchen, Study — and hear the speaker, source and SPL appropriate to it. Sonance flush ceilings, KEF Reference, Waterfall glass-cabinet, Polk Reserve. Specify the rooms before you specify the speakers.
Cinema Scenes Interactive
Tap a scene — Film, Sport, Concert, Music, Reference, Standby — and watch projector source, screen aspect, processor preset, room lighting and seating shift in concert across a reference 10-seat home cinema. Trinnov + JBL Synthesis.
AV-over-IP vs HDBaseT
Six questions about endpoints, distance, growth, network, control and budget — and a scored recommendation between AV-over-IP and HDBaseT, with platform candidates.

- Smart Home
Smart Home Discovery Wizard
For villa and apartment owners — pick your home, the zones that matter and the experiences you want, and map a coordination scope and room checklist. Not a final design, device count or security layout.
- AV · Network · BMS
Rack & Architecture Explorer
A reference AV cinema rack, IT/network rack and BMS panel. Hover any unit and we tell you what it does and why it's sized that way. The boring rack that runs the room.
- Hospitality · Systems
Hotel Technology Planner
Pick the property archetype — boutique, 4-star, 5-star, resort — and the planner maps each space (guest floor, lobby, banquet, F&B, spa, BoH) to systems, AP density, AV grade and lifecycle cost.
- Planning · Coordination
Building Technology Planner
Pick a building type and its spaces. See the technology systems each space actually needs, what those systems depend on, and the coordination questions to ask before drawings are issued.
- Installed base · Lifecycle
Installed Equipment Lookup
Already own the projector, loudspeaker or LED cabinet? Look it up by the model on the label: what it is, whether it is still listed, which tools still work on it, and what the manufacturer documents say replaces it.
