Recap and a glimpse of the future!
While there, we took many (many, many...) classes, got a chance to see new technologies (some shipping, some coming), and became a Registered Outreach Instructor! We have highlighted just a few of the updates below for homeowners, architects and designers, and builders - though there were countless more.
Take a minute or two for an insider's look:
- Homeowners:
- Super slim LED TVs were a hit with every manufacturer. Here's a picture of an LG LED TV, solid glass front TV (no bezel!) Samsung TVs looked really nice too! All makes are energy efficient.
 
- Sonos users (or future Sonos users) are thrilled at the new handheld, touchscreen controller! It's user-friendly, small, and just awesome!
- Home Cinema goes beyond 'home theater' and the people at Professional Home Cinema proved it to us in their demo. Amazing sound quality, efficient power consumption, low-heat amplification... These guys know what they are doing and we are proud to use their products in our designs.
- Architects and Designers:
- Digital signage is everywhere! Next time you are at the grocery store, chances are you will see a flat screen somewhere displaying specials, recipes, etc. Incorporate it into your design early, so it doesn't look like an afterthought.
- Putting the 'CUSTOM' in Custom Home Cinema, these theater chairs are the ultimate in themed rooms (and they are comfy too!)
- Movie posters without the actual poster? Go digital and easily update for new releases!
- Need continuing education credits? Members of certain industry partner associations (AIA, AIBD, NAHB, ASID, and more) can receive continuing education credit and gain an expert resource in the residential technologies industry. As the only provider currently authorized in Missouri, Integration Controls can now offer these credits through CEDIA's Registered Outreach Instructor program.
- Builders:
- Sound isolation is a huge component when building a Custom Home Cinema - not only with what actually goes in the room (sound treatments), but also the design and construction of the room itself.
- Innovative LED products are hitting the market like never before due to their 'green' energy efficient applications. One company, Innovolt, has a great (inexpensive) line of products that span a variety of uses. Check them out!
