  • Jetbuilt to Debut Jetbot Drawings Suite at ISE 2026

    Jetbuilt to Debut Jetbot Drawings Suite at ISE 2026

    Jetbuilt will debut the full Jetbot Drawings suite at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026, introducing AI-generated schematics, rack elevations, and architectural floor plans within a single project workflow. Powered by Jetbuilt’s proprietary Jetbot AI engine, the solution automatically creates standards-based AV drawings from a project’s bill of materials and scope of work, reducing hours of manual drafting to near-instant outputs while still allowing designers full control to refine and modify layouts using natural language commands.

    By bringing all drawing elements directly into the Jetbuilt platform, the suite removes a major bottleneck in AV system design. With features such as automated rack layouts, intelligent floor plan placement, DWG exports, and a one-click integration with Vectorworks, Jetbot Drawings enables faster, more consistent documentation and smoother transitions into final CAD workflows. Jetbuilt will showcase these capabilities at Integrated Systems Europe 2026 from February 3–6, 2026.

    Jetbuilt, the global leader in AV project sales and management software, will unveil the complete Jetbot Drawings suite at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 from February 3–6, 2026. Building on the release of Jetbot Drawings for schematic generation, Jetbuilt will introduce rack elevations and architectural floor plans, introducing all drawing elements within the Jetbuilt environment.

    Jetbot Drawings utilizes Jetbot, Jetbuilt’s proprietary AI engine, which is trained on thousands of audiovisual design practices, integration standards and product manuals. The schematics are generated in seconds based on the project’s bill of materials and scope of work, with Jetbot automatically creating logical, standards-based connections between sources, processors, displays, amplifiers and other devices. Designers can manually reposition components, adjust wiring, add equipment or request changes using natural language through the Modify function.

    “For most integrators, drawings define a significant portion of the project timeline,” said Paul Dexter, chief executive officer and founder of Jetbuilt. “By placing schematics, elevations and floor plans inside the same workflow where teams already build proposals and manage projects, we remove one of the most persistent bottlenecks in the design process.”

    Schematics often require hours of repetitive drafting to document connections that are already defined in the project. Jetbot Drawings reduces that effort to a near-instant action, producing drawings that mirror how engineers typically structure system flow. The designers retain control to refine the output, manually adjusting device placement or adding components. Through the Modify button, users can also request changes in natural language, such as reconfiguring a source to a different port or adjusting an entire signal path. The capabilities allow teams to preserve engineering standards while eliminating many of the labor-intensive steps involved in hand-drawing connections.

    At ISE 2026, Jetbuilt will highlight rack elevations as the next phase of the suite. Elevations will translate the project’s equipment list into organized rack layouts, providing design teams with a clear view of space requirements, ventilation considerations and device sequencing earlier in the project cycle. Jetbot helps integrators identify conflicts, confirm mechanical specifications and plan cable management before installation. Since rack elevations are derived from the same project dataset used for schematics, documentation remains consistent across all deliverables.

    Jetbuilt has also developed automated floor plan drawings. Users will upload a building layout, such as a venue, office or residence, and Jetbot will identify the rooms and place the equipment accordingly. Devices will appear in the correct spaces, including displays, loudspeakers and control interfaces, with Jetbot estimating logical positions such as likely display walls. Teams can reposition any item as needed. Jetbot’s floor plans reduce the manual task of dragging devices into each room, streamlining the architectural stage and helping designers validate scope against the physical environment earlier in the process.

    The elements, including schematics, elevations and floor plans, will be exportable in DWG format, supporting established drafting workflows. Through a partnership with Vectorworks, Jetbuilt will offer a one-click experience that sends Jetbuilt drawings directly into Vectorworks projects, eliminating manual handoffs. For firms that rely on CAD tools for final documentation, this enables a smooth transition from AI-generated layouts to detailed CAD refinement without re-entering data or recreating system flow.

    Jetbot Drawings provide integrators, engineers, end users and consultants with a consolidated approach to system documentation. By automating initial drafts and connecting all drawings to the project data already in Jetbuilt, teams gain consistent documents, reduced rework and faster design cycles. Jetbot Drawings is intended to support higher throughput for engineering departments while preserving the precision required for installation and commissioning.

  • SDVoE Alliance to Introduce FlexLinQ at ISE 2026

    SDVoE Alliance to Introduce FlexLinQ at ISE 2026

    The SDVoE Alliance has announced the launch of FlexLinQ, a new reference design developed by Semtech, which will be unveiled at Integrated Systems Europe 2026. FlexLinQ enables SDVoE AV-over-IP systems to operate reliably across Ethernet speeds ranging from 10GbE down to 1GbE, while preserving the low latency and visual performance required in professional AV environments.

    FlexLinQ automatically negotiates link speeds based on available network conditions, removing the need for manual configuration or forced infrastructure upgrades. According to SDVoE Alliance President Stephane Tremblay, the technology simplifies product development for manufacturers and delivers faster, more predictable deployments for integrators, even in mixed or legacy network environments.

    The SDVoE Alliance, a nonprofit consortium of technology providers collaborating to standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments, will unveil FlexLinQ, a new SDVoE reference design introduced by Semtech that allows AV-over-IP systems to operate reliably across a wide range of Ethernet speeds. Powered by FlexLinQ, SDVoE now supports networks from 10GbE to 1GbE while maintaining the low latency and visual quality required in professional AV environments.

    FlexLinQ introduces automatic link-speed training at startup. Each connection negotiates the maximum achievable bandwidth supported by the network and cabling, whether 10Gbps, 5Gbps, 2.5Gbps or 1Gbps. If a link cannot sustain higher speeds due to cable length, cable category or installation conditions, the system adapts automatically without user intervention.

    “FlexLinQ addresses a practical problem for nearly every audiovisual environment,” said Stephane Tremblay, president of the SDVoE Alliance. “Manufacturers no longer have to design different products for different network speeds, and integrators no longer have to force every project onto 10GbE. The system adapts to the network that’s in place and maintains the performance characteristics professionals expect from SDVoE.”

    For manufacturers, FlexLinQ simplifies product design and portfolio strategy. A single SDVoE-based platform can now support multiple network speeds, reducing development complexity, shortening time to market, and allowing products to be deployed across a wider range of customer environments.

    For integrators, FlexLinQ removes many of the traditional constraints associated with network readiness. Systems automatically adjust to the infrastructure that exists on site, eliminating the need for manual bandwidth planning, link-speed configuration or forced upgrades to 10GbE switching. As a result, FlexLinQ enables more predictable deployments, faster commissioning and greater confidence when working with mixed or legacy networks.

    When operating below 10GbE, visually lossless, intelligent compression is applied only when required. The compression is dynamically managed in real time, ensuring reliable transport while preserving image quality and maintaining the low latency expected of SDVoE systems. FlexLinQ improves system resilience over long cable runs and marginal installations. Rather than failing or requiring troubleshooting, the link adapts to current conditions and maintains operation at the highest sustainable performance level.

    Visit the SDVoE Alliance in stand 5E900 at Integrated Systems Europe 2026 from February 3–6, 2026, at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via.
