Smart Projector and High-Definition Display
Gone are the days of bulky, outdated projectors and grainy images. Modern home theaters demand the brilliance of a smart projector paired with a 4K display. Smart projectors from leading brands such as Sony and Epson not only deliver stunning visuals but also offer the convenience of wireless connectivity and compatibility with streaming services. Imagine streaming your favorite content directly from your smartphone to the big screen effortlessly.
At the latest CEDIA Expo held in early September, Epson showed an innovative ultra-short throw projector. The LS800 can throw a 100-inch image from as close as 8 inches from the screen and offers brightness levels as high as 4,000 lumens. This projector is perfect for smaller spaces, as it can still provide you with crisp, lifelike pictures.
Immersive Surround Sound Systems
Picture this: You're watching an action-packed blockbuster, and the sound of explosions and footsteps seems to come from every direction. This is the magic of immersive surround sound systems, and they are a non-negotiable addition to any modern home theater.
But what about aesthetics? During the CEDIA Expo, Sonance introduced the Visual Experience series of invisible speakers. The Sonance VX speakers are designed to provide maximum coverage and high fidelity to create a crisp and consistent listening experience, so you can enjoy every audio detail of your content, without worrying about bulky installations intruding into your space.
Home Automation and Control
When it comes to modern home theaters, integration is key. For a truly enjoyable entertainment experience, home theater shouldn't exist in isolation; it should seamlessly blend with your smart home ecosystem.
By integrating your home theater technologies into your home automation system, you can effortlessly create the perfect environment for movie marathons and gaming sessions. Imagine dimming the lights, adjusting the temperature, and even closing the shades—all with a single press of a button or voice command. Home automation systems like Amazon Alexa make this a reality. With this integration, you can instantly simplify your home theater experience and enhance convenience.
At CEDIA, one of our favorite home automation platforms released its latest upgrade: the Control4 OS 3.4. This upgrade allows for a more intuitive smart home experience, as it is equipped with in-app notification management, a new lighting color picker that enhances usability, and an improved wizard flow for creating lighting scenes. In this upgraded version, Control4 also allows users to manage their smart devices through their desktops, ensuring they can control their spaces anywhere they are.
