Complete guide to the AI-native AV engineering platform
Follow these 7 steps to design, validate, document, and commission a complete AV system.
Start by creating a project for your client or site.
Use the drag-and-drop canvas to place equipment and define connections.
Review the complete signal path from source to destination.
Arrange rack-mount equipment with thermal and power calculations.
Run 27+ engineering rules against your project to catch errors.
Auto-generate a complete AV documentation package.
Use digital checklists for field commissioning and as-built documentation.
DEPilot is an engineering database — not a CAD tool. You design the system once, and every drawing is a live view of the same data.
Place equipment and make connections once. Every view — signal flow, rack, schedules, documentation — stays in sync automatically.
Rack elevations, signal flow diagrams, and schedules are generated from structured data — not drawn independently in CAD.
27+ engineering rules run against your design in real time: power budgets, cable distances, port conflicts, ADA, and more.
DEPilot ships with deep knowledge of these manufacturers. 100+ total manufacturers in the equipment library.
