AVgator® Studio is a state-of-the-art software as a service (SaaS) platform developed by AVgator® Inc. It is specifically designed to create HTML5 graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for control systems used in the audio-visual (AV) industry.

While both AVgator® Studio and Crestron Construct™ are tools for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for Crestron systems, they differ in several key areas: HTML5-Based Interfaces: AVgator Studio supports fully customizable HTML5 interfaces, offering greater flexibility and responsiveness across devices. Construct™ relies on predefined CH5 components, limiting customization options. Development Efficiency: AVgator Studio reduces development time by up to 80% with reusable templates, adaptive layouts, and live previews. Construct™ may require more repetitive manual processes across different projects. Template-Driven Design: AVgator Studio allows easy reuse of templates and design elements across multiple projects, ensuring consistency and efficiency. Construct™ encourages independent project files, making it harder to synchronize changes in real time. Performance and Extensibility: AVgator Studio offers superior runtime performance and integrates with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS for advanced functionality. User Experience: AVgator Studio provides a smoother design experience with a drag-and-drop interface and real-time preview. Construct™ can demand more technical effort for similar results. For AV professionals seeking a modern, efficient, and highly flexible development tool, AVgator Studio offers a powerful alternative to Crestron Construct™.
