Aurora Displays has released ScreenBuilder v2026 — the configuration engine inside our Business Operating System. Watch the full launch video above, then read on for what’s new.
The problem it solves
Before ScreenBuilder, quoting a screen took a week. Sales built pricing in Excel. Engineering rebuilt cabinet maths in a separate spreadsheet. Drafting re-drew the steel frame. Production re-keyed the bill of materials. Every team owned a different version of the truth — and every client revision broke them all.
The result: mis-quoted screens, late steel frames, mis-shipped processors, and a sales team that avoided complex jobs.
What ScreenBuilder does
ScreenBuilder takes the brief — width, height, pixel pitch, indoor or outdoor, viewing distance — and assembles a real, manufacturable screen. It outputs a complete cabinet grid, processor recommendation, BOM, structural frame, branded quote PDF, electrical drawings, and a 3D site mockup. All from a single source of truth.
Cabinet grid fitting
ScreenBuilder works in physical cabinets and modules, not theoretical pixels. It snaps the requested screen size to a real cabinet grid, honours fixed cabinet aspect ratios, reports the actual finished dimensions, and resolves curved and corner runs into the same grid.
Processor selection
Pixels, ports, refresh rate, and redundancy are treated as one constraint — not four separate checkboxes. ScreenBuilder recommends the right processor automatically, and updates the pick whenever the cabinet count changes.
Aspect-ratio intelligence — shipped March 2026
Released pre-ISLE 2026. Most of the LED industry quotes a rectangle and lets the content team discover at install time that 16:9 video letterboxes badly on a non-standard grid. Aurora’s aspect-ratio intelligence checks intended content against the closest cabinet grid and tells sales before the quote is signed — with a suggested fix (+1 row, +1 column, or alternate cabinet) and a decision log entry.
One source of truth, six downstream outputs
Every system that touches the screen reads from the same ScreenBuilder job. Change a cabinet count once and six outputs update automatically:
- FrameBuilder — steel frame drawing, anchor pattern, weight, wind load
- Technical PDF drawings — cabinet grid, frame plan, anchor schedule
- Electrical PDF drawings — receiving cards, port-by-port cable runs, load schedule
- Quote PDFs — customer-facing itemised pricing with BOM and datasheet
- Ecommerce sync — standardised configurations pushed to the online store
- 3D & Site Mockup Studio — screen placed on the actual site using satellite imagery, real shadows, and HDR lighting
3D preview and site mockup studio
Every cabinet and frame is rendered cabinet-accurate in 3D. The same model is then placed on the real building or street using satellite imagery — with HDR environment lighting, real shadow casting, and cinema tone mapping. It looks like a render, not a wireframe.
What’s next
ScreenBuilder is used daily across Aurora’s sales, engineering, drafting and production teams. Upcoming releases include deeper Site Mockup Studio integration, richer multi-screen job management, and a reseller portal layer.
