Electronic
House Magazine has named Connected
Technology the 2013 Home of the Year Gold Award winner in the Family
Room/Media Room category. The Melbourne, Florida-based custom installation
company’s winning project is a show-stopping home media room designed for an
avid sports fan that includes eight Samsung LED TVs, a projection system with a
Digital Projection M-Series projector and 133” DaLite screen, Bay Audio
speakers and a powerful Sunfire HRS-10 subwoofer that are all controlled by an ELAN® g! Entertainment and Control system.
“This incredible media room stemmed from a homeowner
request for a simple two-zone system, and once we recommended ELAN for the
amplification and distribution it was a very short leap to total control
through ELAN g!,” said Connected Technology President Joe Nelson. “As the
project evolved and grew, the homeowner demanded that the whole system be very
easy to control, and the ELAN g! system allowed us to deliver affordable iPad
and iPhone control that didn’t take them hours to learn. This Electronic House
Home Of The Year Gold Award is a testament to our skill as an integrator and
system designer as much as it is recognition of the quality and adaptability of
the ELAN g! system.”
The
main attraction of this media room is the main wall which houses eight Samsung
LED HDTVs with a 65” model flanked by four 32” displays and topped with three
additional 40” models. For movie viewing or Sunday Night Football when there’s
only one game on, a 133” DaLite screen lowers in front of the Samsung TVs and a
Digital Projection M-Vision Cine 400
projector
lowers from the ceiling. An additional Samsung 59” plasma HDTV brings the
action to the back area with a pool table.
The ELAN g! system extends through the entire
home, integrating a total of 16 video displays and multiple zones of
audio. An ELAN TS7 and two ELAN
TS2 touchscreens provide quick access throughout the home, and the owners use
their iPads and iPhones to conveniently control every feature.
The Electronic House Home Of The Year Awards
recognizes outstanding U.S. home technology installations in 13 distinct
categories.
