The reason for designing this software was twofold: Provide a powerful EDA tool for AV industry and to reduce cost of entry into AV industry by entrepreneurs. The features that were added were focused on end to end solutions from Customer presentation, to AV System design and finally full GUI development for touch screen panels and monitors. AVSnap has many different modes of operation, including a system design mode, a presentation mode, a remote access mode, and a web server mode.
