Computer-Aided Design in Facilities and System Integration

Ed Webster, Ron Jones

This article examines how computer-assisted drafting (CAD) and computer-assisted engineering (CAE) programs can be used to streamline television system and facility design. Hardware considerations, basic system components, typical CAD workstation software, and system design applications are discussed. Facility architectural and television system design, with and without the use of CAD/CAE software, is outlined. Finally, a brief case study of the overall design of a mobile teleproduction vehicle, with emphasis on the use of CAD/CAE, is presented.
