Video signal flow diagrams
A clear first draft of the production's video path. Your engineer reviews the logic before it becomes the working plan.
Review a video design
CLOSED BETA
Generate signal flow from a production brief.
Every live project starts with a blank technical design. Zworykin turns a plain-language brief into a professional starting point your engineer reviews, adjusts, and takes forward.
Free closed beta. Submit a real project brief and get your first design back in 2–3 business days.
Free closed beta. No sales call required to submit interest.
Named after the engineer who invented television.
Built for the engineers keeping it LIVE.
Zworykin is shaped by people who have had to make real shows work: broadcast engineers, sound engineers, directors, producers, and IP network specialists.

What Zworykin designs
A connected engineering package from one brief.
Audio routing plans
A practical routing draft for the show's audio needs. Built for engineering review, not generic AI output.
Submit an audio-heavy briefIP and hybrid architecture
A starting architecture for SDI, IP, and mixed workflows. Zworykin flags the assumptions your engineer needs to check.
Test an IP workflow in betaEquipment specification sheets
A working spec tied to the technical design. Your team adapts it to owned kit, rental stock, and project constraints.
Get a spec sheetHow it works
From production brief to reviewed engineering pack.
Send the production brief
Describe the show in normal language: what needs to happen, what constraints matter, and what kit you plan to use. No template-heavy intake. Just the brief your engineer would normally start from.
Zworykin drafts the technical design
Zworykin generates a first-pass engineering package for your team to review. It also marks assumptions and points that need engineering judgment.
Review, refine, or take it forward
Your engineer checks the logic and adapts the design to the venue, crew, rental stock, and show risks. You can run the revised brief through Zworykin again for a cleaner version, or move straight into manual engineering work.

Built by people who have had to make the show work
Zworykin comes from a team with 20 years in live television and media production. The team includes people who have designed broadcast systems, mixed live audio, built IP networks, worked inside OB vans, supported studios, and handled the gap between the production request and what can actually work on the day.
Broadcast engineers
They bring experience across TV channels, OB, studios, sports, corporate events, concerts, and temporary live production systems. They understand signal flow, routing, sync, redundancy, monitoring, playout, contribution, and the decisions that matter before a truck rolls.
Sound engineers
They bring broadcast audio knowledge across AoIP, Dante, AES67, console architecture, intercom, IFB, mix-minus, stage I/O, and record feeds. Zworykin treats audio as its own engineering discipline, not as a note under video.
Directors and producers
They bring the production view: what the client expects, what the director needs, and what the crew must understand quickly. They help Zworykin connect the technical design to the actual show, not just the rack room.
IT and network specialists
They bring IP broadcast infrastructure experience across ST 2110, NDI, Dante, VLAN planning, switch capacity, multicast, clocking, and failover. That matters because many live builds now sit between SDI habits and IP reality.
That is why Zworykin does not try to replace the engineer.
It gives the engineer a wider field of view: a first design draft shaped by broadcast, audio, IP, production, and network expertise — so they can review more options, catch risks earlier, and move faster into the right solution.
Why Zworykin
A broadcast-specific first draft, not scattered answers.
What others give you
- Generic AI tools — They can explain broadcast terms and produce rough text, but they do not start from a broadcast engineering workflow. You still have to force the structure, check every assumption, and turn the answer into usable documentation.
- Google, forums, and vendor manuals — They help when you need one answer about one device, format, or workflow. They do not produce a complete project design with signal flow, routing, IP architecture, and equipment specs.
- One senior engineer doing everything manually — This works when the engineer has time. It becomes the bottleneck when two projects need designs at once, the brief changes late, or the company wants to take on more work.
What we give you
- A broadcast-specific first draft — Zworykin starts with the shape of a live production system: sources, destinations, routing, comms, audio, monitoring, record, transmission, redundancy, and documentation.
- One package, not scattered answers — You get connected outputs: video signal flow, audio routing, IP/hybrid notes, and a specification sheet that your engineer can review and adapt.
- More throughput from the same team — Zworykin removes the blank-page stage and reduces dependency on one senior specialist. Your engineers still make the calls, but they start further ahead.
Beta FAQ
Common questions
Does it cover audio as well as video?
Yes. Zworykin covers broadcast audio as a core part of the design, not as an afterthought. It can draft routing for consoles, AoIP, Dante, AES67, embedded audio, intercom, IFB, mix-minus, monitoring, record feeds, and program outputs.
Does it support IP and NDI workflows?
Yes. Zworykin supports IP, NDI, ST 2110, Dante, AES67, and hybrid SDI/IP workflows. It can help draft networked source and destination plans, switching assumptions, bandwidth notes, multicast considerations, and where SDI/IP handoffs need engineer review.
Can an AI produce something I would put on air?
Not without an engineer reviewing it. Zworykin produces a professional starting point: diagrams, routing plans, architecture notes, and specs that your engineer checks, corrects, and adapts to the project. It speeds up engineering work; it does not replace engineering judgment.
What happens in the closed beta?
You leave your email, we contact selected teams, and you send one real or representative live production brief. The beta is free and low-commitment. You get a first technical design back in 2–3 business days, then we ask what was useful, what was wrong, and what your engineer would change.
What will Zworykin cost?
The beta is free. We expect paid plans to sit in the range of a professional SaaS tool for small and mid-sized live production companies, likely priced around monthly use or per-design volume. Beta users will help shape pricing before launch.
