Engineering & Safety Disclaimer

Introduction

LED Architect Pro™ is a professional engineering, planning, visualization, documentation, and calculation platform intended to assist qualified production professionals in the design and deployment of temporary and permanent LED display systems.

While every effort has been made to develop accurate calculations, recommendations, and engineering workflows, the software is provided solely as a decision-support tool. It does not replace the knowledge, judgment, supervision, or responsibility of qualified engineers, production managers, riggers, electricians, venue personnel, or safety professionals.

Professional Responsibility

The user is solely responsible for:

• Verifying the accuracy of all calculations.
• Confirming all dimensions, weights, loading, and structural capacities.
• Inspecting all equipment prior to use.
• Confirming compatibility between products.
• Following all manufacturer documentation.
• Complying with venue rules and engineering requirements.
• Following all applicable local, state, provincial, national, and international laws, regulations, and safety standards.
• Determining whether additional engineering review is required.

Any drawings, signal flow diagrams, cable maps, equipment lists, power calculations, processor layouts, or engineering recommendations generated by LED Architect Pro™ must be independently reviewed before implementation.

No Engineering Certification

Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing, documents generated by LED Architect Pro™ are not stamped engineering drawings and do not constitute structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, life safety, or architectural engineering.

Nothing generated by this software should be interpreted as an engineering certification or approval.

Where required by law, users must obtain review and approval from appropriately licensed professional engineers.

Temporary Structures

Temporary entertainment structures present significant safety risks.

The software does not certify or approve:

• Ground-supported structures
• Truss systems
• Roof systems
• Flying systems
• Hoists
• Rigging
• Ballast requirements
• Wind loading
• Structural stability
• Foundation design
• Soil bearing capacity
• Guy wire systems
• Fall protection systems

These systems must always be designed, reviewed, and approved by qualified professionals using accepted engineering practices and applicable codes.

Electrical Safety

Power calculations generated by LED Architect Pro™ are estimates based upon user-provided data.

Actual power consumption may vary depending upon:

• Brightness
• Content
• Calibration
• Temperature
• Refresh rate
• Color depth
• Processing
• Cabinet configuration
• Manufacturer tolerances

Users must verify:

• Circuit loading
• Overcurrent protection
• Cable sizing
• Voltage
• Grounding
• Phase balancing
• Connector compatibility
• Local electrical code compliance

Electrical work should only be performed by qualified personnel.

Signal Processing

Signal flow diagrams, processor recommendations, port loading calculations, fiber layouts, and mapping suggestions are generated using published specifications and accepted industry practices.

Users remain responsible for verifying:

• Pixel counts
• Processor limits
• Firmware compatibility
• Cable distances
• Signal integrity
• Redundancy
• EDID configuration
• Genlock requirements
• Refresh compatibility
• Color management
• Final mapping

Software recommendations should always be confirmed using manufacturer software and hardware before deployment.

Load Calculations

Weight calculations are estimates derived from user inputs and manufacturer specifications.

Users are responsible for independently confirming:

• Cabinet weights
• Frame weights
• Hanging hardware
• Rigging hardware
• Ballast
• Cable weight
• Accessories
• Dynamic loading
• Safety factors

Never rely solely upon automatically generated weight calculations for structural decisions.

Manufacturer Information

LED Architect Pro™ may include specifications collected from:

• Manufacturers
• Dealers
• Integrators
• Public documentation
• User submissions
• Independent testing

Specifications may change without notice.

Users are responsible for confirming current specifications directly with the equipment manufacturer before purchasing, specifying, engineering, or deploying equipment.

Software Limitations

No software can account for every real-world variable.

Recommendations generated by LED Architect Pro™ may not consider factors including:

• Weather
• Wind
• Rain
• Snow
• Seismic activity
• Uneven terrain
• Aging equipment
• Improper installation
• Previous damage
• Manufacturing defects
• Human error
• Venue restrictions
• Site-specific hazards

Users must always exercise professional judgment.

Safety First

If any recommendation generated by the software conflicts with:

• Manufacturer documentation
• Venue requirements
• Local regulations
• Engineering reports
• Safety standards
• Qualified professional judgment

The software recommendation should be disregarded.

Safety must always take precedence over convenience, schedule, or automation.

Assumption of Risk

By using LED Architect Pro™, the user acknowledges that live event production involves inherent risks, including property damage, equipment failure, serious injury, and death.

The user voluntarily assumes all risks associated with the planning, installation, operation, maintenance, transportation, and dismantling of equipment.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LED Architect Pro™, its owners, developers, affiliates, licensors, contributors, employees, contractors, and partners shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or special damages arising from:

• Equipment damage
• Property damage
• Lost revenue
• Production delays
• Show interruption
• Loss of business
• Personal injury
• Death
• Data loss
• Calculation errors
• Documentation errors
• Software defects
• User input errors
• Third-party data inaccuracies

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory asserted, including negligence, contract, warranty, strict liability, or otherwise.

User Verification Requirement

Before implementing any plan generated by LED Architect Pro™, users should verify:

• Equipment specifications
• Measurements
• Structural requirements
• Rigging plans
• Electrical requirements
• Processor configuration
• Pixel mapping
• Safety compliance
• Crew competency
• Manufacturer recommendations

Independent verification should be considered a mandatory step in every project.

Educational Content

Tutorials, videos, examples, templates, articles, engineering notes, and best-practice recommendations provided within LED Architect Pro™ are intended solely for educational and informational purposes.

They should not be interpreted as project-specific engineering advice.

Acceptance

By accessing or using LED Architect Pro™, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Engineering & Safety Disclaimer, and that you accept full responsibility for all engineering, safety, operational, and deployment decisions made using the software.
