US Launch of Stardraw A/V Lite at NSCA

NSCA sees the launch of a brand new application designed for the smaller AV systems integrator. Stardraw A/V Lite offers all of the powerful drawing and design tools of its heavyweight sibling, Stardraw A/V, for less than half the price.

 

CEO David Snipp explains why it is important to offer a new product for this market sector. “Stardraw A/V is undoubtedly the most popular off-the-shelf product we supply,” he said, “but it can represent a significant investment which may be beyond the reach of the smaller contractor. What we have done with Stardraw A/V Lite is to produce an entry-level package that allows you to create your designs to exactly the same standard as the top-of the-range version which means an unbeatable feature set at unbeatable value for money. The drawing engine and the symbols in the Lite package are the same as those in the full package but ancillary functions have been tailored for the smaller organization. In this way, individual contractors and smaller systems integrators can benefit from all the sophisticated design and drawing tools we currently offer, in addition to our vast library of high quality symbols, for only $1,000.”

 

Stardraw A/V Lite allows you to design schematics, rack layouts and sales presentations while also offering a general 2D CAD interface that is compatible with AutoCAD. Furthermore, users with a current subscription are entitled to free symbols updates, free program upgrades and free priority technical support. According to marketing director Rob Robinson, Stardraw A/V Lite represents superb value for the smaller contractor. “The fact that you can produce exactly the same drawings and designs as the full application is fantastic. Stardraw A/V has evolved many features that lend themselves to the corporate environment, but these come at a price.  Stardraw A/V Lite offers those with smaller budgets an extremely powerful drawing and design tool, unequalled by anything else the market currently has to offer.”

The key differences between Stardraw A/V and Stardraw A/V Lite can bee seen in the table below.
