If a project consists of video elements — inputs, outputs, and displays — along with a third-party audio system, you don’t necessarily need a traditional control system. With the inclusive software suite from Netvio, including AppBuilder and NetvioGo, you can design and deploy a fully functional, branded control experience that surpasses end-user expectations. This eliminates unnecessary cost and complexity while giving integrators complete ownership of the control solution.
Netvio AppBuilder is a drag-and-drop design environment fully integrated into Netvio360. It enables installers to transform system configurations into customized, branded control interfaces without requiring any coding, third-party programming, or external licenses.
Instead of handing projects off to specialist programmers or investing in expensive control platforms, integrators can use AppBuilder to take full ownership of control design. By combining ease of use with advanced capabilities such as video wall and multiview management, AppBuilder allows projects of any size to be delivered faster, at lower cost, and with a polished, professional result.
AppBuilder is designed specifically for AV integrators and system installers who want to streamline control delivery. Traditional control platforms often demand specialist programmers, steep learning curves, and significant investment — all of which can deter smaller projects or reduce profitability.
AppBuilder removes these barriers by offering an intuitive toolset that installers can use immediately, regardless of programming experience. It empowers integrators of all sizes, from residential installers managing single-room systems to professional AV companies delivering corporate, education, or hospitality projects.
This is a key distinction. AppBuilder is the design tool used by the integrator to build the project, while NetvioGo is the end-user application that runs on phones, tablets, or touch screens.
In practice, you configure your AV system in Netvio360, build the control interface in AppBuilder, and then deploy the project to NetvioGo. This clear workflow means you retain full control over design while your clients enjoy a simple, intuitive, and branded app experience.
AppBuilder uses a comprehensive micro-driver library that represents real AV and automation devices. These drivers include built-in control methods such as CEC, IR, or RS-232, with color-coded connection ports that make system design clear and error-free. Categories include:
-
Video devices – encoders, decoders, HDMI matrices, displays, projectors, and streamers
-
Audio devices – AVRs, amplifiers, DSPs, and switchers (including brands like Blaze, Denon, Yamaha, Arcam, and LEA)
-
Media & playback devices – Blu-ray players, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, and set-top boxes (Sky, Virgin, DirecTV, Dish, etc.)
-
Placeholders – for devices present in the project but not requiring direct control
The library is continuously updated, and if a specific device isn’t included, integrators can request new drivers directly from Netvio.

Yes. AppBuilder is not limited to simple on/off or input switching. It can be used to configure and control complex AV scenarios with the same ease. For video walls, you can assign layouts, switch sources, and manage scaling directly from the canvas.
For multiview, you can build split-screen presets and provide intuitive controls for end users to change layouts on the fly. Audio devices such as amplifiers can also be connected, allowing volume, mute, and source switching within the same interface. Even complex macros — like powering on displays, routing video, and setting volume levels simultaneously — can be built visually, without writing code.
Once your project is complete, AppBuilder generates a QR code. The end user scans this with the NetvioGo app, and within seconds, the customized control interface appears on their device. Updates are just as simple — if you make changes to the project, a new QR code can be generated and distributed.
For Netvio touch screens (TS-13-10 and the upcoming TS-10-10), projects can also be transferred directly by file. This method makes deployment fast, reliable, and repeatable across multiple user devices.
There are no additional costs. AppBuilder is license-inclusive with all Netvio hardware. Unlike traditional control systems where software, licenses, and drivers are charged separately, Netvio’s philosophy is to provide inclusive value — configuration (Netvio360), control design (AppBuilder), and end-user operation (NetvioGo) are all included at no extra charge. This makes budgeting simpler and protects both integrators and clients from hidden costs.
Yes. AppBuilder is included within the Netvio360 software package, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Netvio website. Once installed, you can open the “Create App Project” workspace and explore the drag-and-drop design environment, build projects, and see how the control interface is created.
While you won’t be able to fully test live device control without Netvio hardware connected, you can still experience the workflow, micro-driver library, project creation tools, and branding features. This makes it easy to evaluate the software and understand its benefits before committing to a full system purchase.
New MultiView Control
Adding Multiview to your NetvioGo project transforms how users interact with video. By leveraging Netvio’s ContentPlus+ dual-stream technology, you can create custom multiview layouts directly within AppBuilder and make them instantly available in NetvioGo.
Users can monitor multiple sources at once, drag and drop feeds into different windows, and recall preset layouts with a single tap — all from the same intuitive interface they use for switching, video walls, and audio control.

If you're using our GO control solution, the integrated GO app runs on iPhone, iPad, Android, and our dedicated 13-inch touch panel, designed for rugged environments like bars and gyms. The interface is fully configured through the Netvio 360 software tool. The AppBuilder feature allows users to create a new project based on the configured controller or matrix. It automatically imports device and display names, controller IP settings, and login credentials, requiring minimal setup. Uploading the project results in a functional control interface, displaying sources and screens for easy content switching. For source device control, simply drag and drop devices like set-top boxes or media players into the app. Control options include IR, CEC, or network-based control. For example, a Fire TV uses CEC over HDMI, eliminating the need for an IR connection. Netvio also supports audio control integration with leading amplifier brands like Blaze, Cloud, Monitor Audio, Rotel, Sonance, and Yamaha, with Powersoft and LEA support coming soon. Adding an amplifier prompts for an IP address, after which inputs and outputs can be assigned, linking encoders to the appropriate display zones. A newly launched Multiviewer allows up to four inputs to be displayed on a single screen, ideal for picture-in-picture setups. Encoders feature HDMI loop-through, enabling flexible connections, including streaming the multiview output across the network to multiple zones. Presets can be customized or disabled as needed. To organize the layout, area buttons can be dragged onto designated zones, with custom images assigned from a built-in library or user-uploaded files. Once configured, the project can be published via a QR code for quick app setup or uploaded directly to the controller for easy device discovery. This streamlined workflow ensures an intuitive, fully customized control experience with minimal setup.
NetvioGO includes a demo mode that allows users to explore different project types, including sports bars, corporate, residential, and yacht environments. The sports bar project is often preferred as it showcases the most functionality, including multiple video walls and screens. The app’s settings menu offers options to disable preview videos for a simplified interface, set automatic timeout durations, and disable IR, USB, and serial routing for faster switching in large display setups. A master power switch allows all displays and amplifiers to be turned off with a single press—ideal for venues like sports bars that require a quick system shutdown at closing time. Users can also upload a customizable logo, such as an integrator’s or venue’s branding. For video switching, users can select individual screens or apply changes across multiple displays—perfect for large events like the World Cup. A control interface enables multi-page, swipeable controls for source devices. Additionally, the ContentPlus stream can be displayed full-screen on devices like iPads, allowing staff to monitor content in locations without a TV while still controlling the source. The audio controls provide two-way feedback for volume and mute status. Independent audio switching allows users to change audio zones separately from video sources. The audio lock feature ensures that audio remains unchanged when switching video sources—useful in hospitality settings where different screens may need to display varied content while maintaining a single audio source. For video walls, users can switch between preset layouts with a single tap, drag and drop content, and save new configurations as presets for future use. While NetvioGO is not designed to replace full control systems like Symetrix, Crestron, or Q-SYS, it offers valuable functionality at no additional cost, making it a powerful option for venues that don’t require a fully integrated control system.
