RigPlan is made by ENR Enterprises in Norway. This page is the record of what changed and when, so you can see whether a number you rely on moved.
Ticks from the office, the crew link and other tabs now merge on the server. Reload any planner tab that was open before today so its Reset checks and note clearing stay done.
A wall can mix two cabinet sizes of the same pixel pitch: columns of a narrower cabinet beside the main ones, such as LG’s 300 × 337.5 mm half cabinets next to the 600 × 337.5 mm LSCB, or a row of 500 × 500 mm cabinets under 500 × 1,000 mm ones. Pick the second cabinet under Columns and Rows, then how many columns or rows of it and which side, seen from the front. Size, pixels, weight, power circuits and data runs count every cabinet as it is, the drawing shows where the other size goes, and the pack list carries each size on its own lines with its own spares and dollies.
Fit to 16:9 / 16:10 uses the second cabinet once one is chosen, and suggests one when it lands the wall closer than the main cabinet alone. The narrow columns of a flown wall hang from their own bars, which the list names without sizing them; a column that hangs two cabinet heights gets a warning to check it against the maker’s rigging manual. The NovaLCT connection file for a wall of two sizes follows once a mixed file has been checked in NovaLCT.
The second sizes from the makers’ sheets: LG’s flat half cabinets for the LSCB, LSCC and LSCD, the 36-inch Planar DirectLight Pro and the Unilumin UpanelS half cabinet.
The NovaStar VX400 Pro is in the processor list from its V1.4.0 sheet, 4 ports and 2.6 million pixels; the sheet gives no 10-bit figure, and the planner says so.
Shop accounts get a display connection file for each screen, from the Data wiring section: the file NovaLCT loads under Screen Connection, with every cabinet on its port in the cable order the drawing shows, one screen per sending card on the H series. The format was read off files NovaLCT saved, and files RigPlan writes load and save back unchanged.
A panel its maker sells as a wall-mounted install module now opens the planner as a permanent install: mounted, looped data, no hanging bars and no hang warning, on its own page and on its maker’s partner link. The worked example on the sheet says the weight is carried by the structure.
Looped data counts its processors honestly: the runs stay the runs, each gets a B port, and a fixed unit’s backup is a second unit, so a 32-run wall reads 32 runs, 64 ports and 4 + 4 units everywhere it is shown. The one-box suggestion now works for a looped wall.
A partner link opens on the panel a template was written around, and a capitalised address under /for or /panels lands on the lowercase page.
Every maker in the database has a partner link, rigplan.app/for/absen and the like, that opens the planner on one of that maker’s panels with a line saying where the figures come from and the day they were last read. A rep or a distributor can put it in a quote email; RigPlan counts how many people open it and how many plan a wall from it.
Each maker page has a review sheet: every value stored for every model, with the document it was read from and the retrieval date, printable with a correction column, and the same content as a CSV. It is the sheet a product manager marks up when a maker checks its data.
The page for manufacturers and distributors now says what a listed maker gets, what is asked in return (a data check, then introductions) and what it costs (nothing, with no exclusivity), above the datasheet form.
Three templates for the walls an install conversation opens on: a lobby wall on the Sharp LD-FE153 and a boardroom wall on the Unilumin UpanelS 1.9 at exactly 1080p, both in install mode, and a 6 × 3 m conference stage wall on the Absen PL2.5 Pro V2.
The about page says who builds RigPlan in plainer words: seven years in LED rental before fixed installation.
Every page paints sooner on a phone with a poor signal: the stylesheet travels inside the page instead of behind the fonts, the two heaviest hubs load when you tap them rather than in the background, and the planner lays out the sections below the drawing as you reach them. On a throttled phone profile the home page and a panel sheet went from 1.8 s to under 1 s before the first paint.
Panel sheets carry the series name crews say, so ROE Black Pearl BP2 V2, Absen Polaris PL2.5 Pro and Samsung The Wall read that way in the title and the heading, and every sheet links up to its maker page, its pixel pitch class and the rental, install and outdoor lists it belongs to. A series gets its own page from two panels now, Black Pearl among them. The compare hub links each pair of makers to their own page instead of listing every pair on one screen.
rigplan.no is a Norwegian document from the first byte, with its own share card and no English footer, and the calculators there print figures the Norwegian way: 1 467 kg, 2,6 mm. The power calculator gives the amps as well as the kilowatts and the circuits, and the wall sizes chart names 1080p and 4K and adds feet under the metres.
The figures in the calculator FAQs now come from the database itself and name the panel at each end of the range, instead of a typed estimate that had drifted. The worked example in the power guide is corrected to the tile the engine actually fits at four circuits. Every Dahua source link opened an empty page and now opens the sheet; the LEDitgo rXone V3 sheet moved and is linked again; two Lighthouse rows print without a link while the maker serves no brochure.
An address that does not exist gets the real page-not-found page, in the site layout, rather than a blank shell. A plain-text map of the site for language models is at /llms.txt.
A job is a rental show or a permanent install, chosen at the top of the rail. An install puts every screen on the wall with looped A and B data and one-off spares, drops the rig stock, the inventory, the templates and the truck, and treats the list as a bill of materials. The choice is remembered: a fresh browser, and on a paid account every device, opens in the type you used last.
System sheet, Solo and Shop: one page per screen for the quote or the client. Size, resolution and viewing distances, the maker’s brightness, refresh, angle and cabinet, typical and maximum draw, the circuits and their phases, heat in kW and BTU per hour, weight and the load on the structure, the processor and its ports, the data runs, the cable distance against the copper limit, and the canvas against what the processor publishes. What a sheet does not publish reads "not published".
What prints for free changed. The calculator and the planner stay free on screen, with every drawing and figure. A free print is one summary page: the walls and the totals. The pack list, the wiring plans, the cable tags, the CSV and the system sheet print with Solo.
The wordmark reads RigPlan.app, and RigPlan.no on the Norwegian site, so the name reads as the site. The share card carries the panel count in its address, so a chat app that cached the old card fetches the new one.
A Shop that changed a bumper count in the planner lost its saved venues and cases, because the planner saved only the settings it holds. Settings now merge by key.
Crew link: a saved job gets one link that opens the pack list and the wiring plan on the crew’s phones, with check-off. No account on their side; their ticks come back to the job within seconds, and yours stay. New link replaces the old one. Solo and Shop.
A free account now keeps one job across devices. The second job is where Solo starts.
Labels: one per case with what goes in it, one per cable with both ends named, sized for label stock or an A6 card and printed one per page. Solo and Shop.
Change notes: every revision in a job’s history has Changes since, which lists what moved in panels, spares, circuits, kilowatts, kilograms, data runs, cases and truck metres, prints under the job header, and copies as a note for a change order.
Shop plan: your own cases. Say what each case type holds and how many you own; the pack list, the labels, the crew page and the truck estimate pack into them, and the generic dollies and trunks stay only for what no case holds. Venues too: a house’s supply, rigging and truck limits kept once and picked per job, with the job warning when the design exceeds them.
Everything you set for a wall now sits in a rail on the left: templates, walls, panel, size, install, processor, job settings, rig stock and inventory. The drawing and its totals are on the first screen. Hide folds the rail to one line and the choice is remembered in your browser; on a phone it starts folded.
The data wiring and power run plans come straight after the drawing, ahead of the pack list, and the drawing at the top follows the tab you pick. On paper nothing moved: the pack list first, then one wiring plan per page.
A wall that comes from the calculator arrives with a line saying what it is: the cabinets, the panel, the pitch, and that the panel is the nearest published pitch unless you picked one.
The pixel count on the drawing’s edges sits in brackets after the metres now; a dot between the two read as a product. The quick resolution check left the planner, the calculator pages carry it.
Makers compared: one table of every manufacturer built from its own panels (pitch range, cabinet formats, weight and draw per square metre, what the sheets publish), and a page for each pair of makers whose lineups overlap, with the matched panels side by side and the findings stated as counts.
Titles and descriptions across the site were cut to fit a search result, and the compare hub is served from cache like the rest of the site.
Eighty-two panels joined the library from Desay, Glux, Leyard, ADJ, Esdlumen (LianTronics), Gloshine and PixelFLEX, every figure from the maker’s own sheet, and Megapixel’s HELIOS Junior, 4K and 8K joined the processors. Where a sheet publishes a maximum draw only, the typical figure is a third of it and marked as estimated. Alfalite, Lighthouse and Vanguard sheets leave out a figure the engine needs, so those panels are listed with the gap named rather than guessed.
The panel picker is two steps, maker then panel, with your fleet and your own panels first and the makers in alphabetical order.
When no fixed NovaStar unit carries a wall, the planner names the smallest H chassis and output card count that does, and one press sets it.
Each panel page says whether the dolly count is the manufacturer’s or our packing assumption.
On the landing page, the calculator’s button opens the planner with the wall you typed, snapped to whole cabinets of the nearest published panel at that pitch.
An About page: who makes RigPlan, where the figures come from, and what the tool is not.
The cable tag list is a Solo feature now. Free jobs keep the data wiring and power run drawings, and the tab shows the tag count and what the list gives you.
A job can be a permanent install: no bumpers, rigging points, distros, feeders, cases or truck. The list carries a mounting structure line and house circuits instead, with spares at the one-off rate. A wall can be wall-mounted as well as flown or ground-stacked.
Cable tags: one label per cable, both ends named, in the order the runs are wired, main runs and jumpers, in your own tag format. Print them with the pack list or copy the list as CSV for a label printer.
When the processor you picked does not carry the wall, the planner names the smallest one from the same maker that does.
The pixel map has its own page now: every screen of a job on the processor canvas, in pixels, with each port’s region drawn and listed. It prints on one sheet for the media server operator. Solo and Shop feature; the planner keeps one button for it.
Every processor carries the largest canvas its sheet publishes, and the planner warns when a wall is wider or higher than that. The figures come from the NovaStar, Brompton and Colorlight documents; the MCTRL660 Pro only publishes an input limit, and I use that as the working limit.
Bumper weights stopped being placeholders. ROE publishes its hanging bar weights in the user manuals (Black Pearl, Ruby, Diamond, and the first-generation Carbon manual for the MkII), Chauvet on its product pages. Every other system says not published and falls back to your house standard, and the rules say which figure was used.
The MX40 Pro sheet says a run narrower than 128 px is charged as if it were 128 px wide. The wiring applies that now, which only matters for a single column of a coarse cabinet. No sheet I have publishes a per-port width cap, so there is none in the engine.
The planner installs as an app and keeps working with no signal: the shell is cached at install, checks made offline are pushed when the signal returns. A force-closed app in airplane mode was the case that broke, and the fix was to cache at install rather than on first visit.
A landing page for the ads test, with anonymous product events behind it so the test can be read without a tracking tag or a cookie banner. The admin account page shows the counts.
Share cards use the site’s own faces now instead of the browser default, and the slogan is gone from them.
Panels a maker sells in two cabinet sizes carry the size in their name, so no two pages share a title. Descriptions across the site were cut to fit a search result.
Print was redesigned around the crew that packs: cables drawn through the panels they feed, with direction arrows, and a comment column beside every line for the packer’s pen.
Nine starter walls: corporate 16:9, IMAG side screen, portrait concert side screens for indoor and outdoor, festival main stage, xR volume, fine-pitch conference, DJ riser, touring outdoor. Open one and the whole pack list is derived.
Shop plan: the pack list as the spreadsheet Rentman’s project import takes.
A rewrite of the stylesheet and every user-facing string against one written house style: the site should read like the paperwork of a load-in, a pack list and a datasheet, not a dashboard. One label style, one raised surface per page, a light palette that was designed rather than inverted, a theme switch that remembers.
The planner’s inputs moved to the top, full width, with the job settings behind one summary line. The processor picker groups by maker, smallest to largest.
Shop plan: a month calendar of bookings on the inventory page.
New name, new domain: rigplan.app, with rigplan.no for the Norwegian calculators. The fleet page became Inventory.
Sign-in by one-time email link, Solo and Shop plans with a 14-day trial, saved jobs that sync across devices, team seats, your logo on the printout, quotes with your day rates.
The panel database grew from 30 to 148, every figure from the manufacturer’s own datasheet with the source and retrieval date on the page. A datasheet parser pre-fills the form for panels not yet listed, and manufacturers can submit their own sheets.
Shops run more than one panel system, and hanging bars fit only their own system. Inventory is per system, with its own bars, and dated jobs draw on it; double bookings become sub-hire lines instead of vanishing.
Power runs got their own plan: vertical or row-wise, never a serpentine, balanced evenly across circuits, 12 and 12 rather than 18 and 6. Data runs snake in any direction; the wall diagram draws both.
House standards: every ratio the engine uses can be set per shop, for people who pack differently than I do.
Describe a wall, get a pack list: panels and spares, rigging from your own bumper stock, circuits, data runs, cases and truck space. Free, in the browser, nothing stored anywhere but there.
