RigPlan’s premise is one sentence: describe the wall, and everything the truck needs follows from it. This is the tour — what to enter, what comes out, and where the workflow features live. Wall in, truck list out.
Pick a panel — 148 systems with datasheet-verified specs, or your own custom panel — set columns and rows, and choose flown or ground-stacked. The fit-to-16:9 button snaps the wall to the nearest broadcast-friendly shape for that cabinet. Job-level settings cover region (circuit ratings), refresh rate and bit depth, which drive power and data maths respectively.
On paid plans you can add more walls to the same job — main plus IMAG plus riser fill — and shared spares and truck totals are derived across all of them. Custom panels can also be pre-filled by uploading a datasheet PDF, which the parser reads and you confirm.
The summary strip gives the headline numbers: panels plus spares, weight including bumpers, maximum and typical power with circuit count, data runs and processor fit, and estimated truck deck. Below it, the pack list is grouped by category, every line derived and every line checkable — tick things onto the truck, add comments, and the marks persist.
Each wall gets two schematics: data wiring (serpentine runs, numbered in patching order from stage left as seen from the rear) and power runs (vertical snakes with rightward hops, balanced loads per circuit, phase suggestions and a distro patch line). Both print, whichever tab is on screen.
If the venue hands you limits — circuits available, kilograms per point, number of points, truck metres — enter them and the plan warns the moment a derived total exceeds one. It turns the plan from "here is what the wall needs" into "here is what fits this room".
When the wall needs more than your stock covers — panels, bars, anything — the shortfall becomes explicit red sub-hire lines with a copy-ready cross-hire request, instead of a silent assumption that gear will materialise.
The pack list has two phases. Pack out is load-out from the warehouse; count in is the return. Flip to count-in after the show and tick gear as it comes back — the return report names what went out and never returned, and what came back that was never packed. Shrinkage is found the night the truck returns, not at the next load-out.
Print gives the job document: header with job name, dates, and every wall’s size in panels, metres and pixels; the pack list; and both wiring schematics. Free prints carry a small watermark; paid plans print with your logo and a picker for exactly which sections to include. Share links encode the whole wall spec in the URL — anyone can open your wall without an account.
Signing up to Solo adds saved jobs with revision history, templates, quotes and synced inventory; Shop adds five seats, house standards (your own ratios for every rule), live warehouse check-off, and booking — dated jobs draw on your inventory so double-bookings surface as sub-hire lines before they surface at load-in.
RigPlan does this arithmetic for you. Enter the wall once and it derives panels and spares, rigging from your own stock, circuits, the data wiring plan and the full pack list — free, no sign-up.
Open the calculatorThe planner, the quick calculator, the full pack list, wiring and power schematics, venue limits and printing are free with no sign-up. Paid plans (€19 and €49 a month) add multi-wall jobs, saved jobs, inventory, booking and team features.
Every panel in the database is transcribed from the manufacturer’s own datasheet, with the source linked on the panel’s page. Anything the manufacturer does not publish is marked as assumed rather than silently guessed.
Yes — add a custom panel with your own specs (or upload its datasheet PDF on a paid plan and confirm the parsed values). Custom panels stay private unless you explicitly offer them to the public database.
Yes. The share link encodes the entire wall specification in the URL, so anyone who opens it sees the same wall, fully derived — no account needed.
