Key Points
- BeckTV will debut BeckFlow, a web-based platform that automatically generates broadcast facility schematics from engineering data.
- The system aims to reduce manual drafting and keep technical documentation synchronized with evolving broadcast infrastructure.
- BeckFlow will be demonstrated publicly for the first time at the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas.
Broadcast systems integrator BeckTV will introduce a new web-based schematic documentation platform designed for the media and entertainment industry during the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas next month.
The platform, called BeckFlow, automatically generates broadcast facility schematics from structured engineering data such as wire lists and equipment inventories. The system is intended to reduce the time engineers spend manually drafting facility diagrams while improving the accuracy and consistency of technical documentation.
BeckTV will demonstrate BeckFlow publicly for the first time during the NAB Show, which starts on April 18, at Booth C3835.
According to the company, BeckFlow can ingest standardized BeckTV data templates and convert them into schematic diagrams without requiring traditional computer-aided design workflows. By automating the generation of system drawings from engineering data, the platform helps ensure facility documentation remains synchronized with system designs throughout the lifecycle of a broadcast project.
The approach addresses a long-standing challenge in broadcast engineering, where facility schematics are often created manually and can fall out of sync with actual infrastructure changes over time.
“We look forward to introducing BeckFlow to broadcasters and showing how they can streamline infrastructure documentation while making schematics easier to access,” said Matt Weiss, BeckTV’s Vice President of Business Development. “Collaborating with our technology partners, we’ll also show how we are modernizing broadcast facilities across the country to meet demand for ever-higher video resolutions and improved sound that today’s audiences and sports fans expect. We’ll highlight several of our installations to show broadcasters how they can bring the latest innovations to their next project.”
BeckTV has been involved in several major broadcast facility builds and upgrades over the past year. Projects include work for Huskervision at the University of Nebraska, WVUE in New Orleans, IMS Productions and IndyCar, North Carolina State University in Raleigh, M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, home of the NFL’s Ravens, and WINK-TV (Channel 11, CBS) in Fort Myers, Florida.
The company’s integration portfolio spans a wide range of media environments, including broadcast and network television stations, cable and satellite facilities, network operations centers, sports production trucks, professional and collegiate stadiums and houses of worship.
Installations vary in scale and technical architecture, ranging from traditional baseband video systems to advanced deployments built around the SMPTE ST 2110 IP-based media transport standard.
BeckTV said the introduction of BeckFlow reflects growing demand for more efficient workflows as broadcasters modernize infrastructure to support higher-resolution video formats and more sophisticated audio production.
