When people describe “Smart Homes” they often talk about a Home Cinema setup.
Well designed Cinema systems are great showcases for Smart Home technology – they bring together superb audio and video, these are supplemented with great lighting and control and often feature ingenious installations that hide away the technology so you can enjoy the experience. Video in the integrated home is about more than Home Cinema though and here we discuss some of the options open to someone considering a project.
Home Cinema Home Cinema sometimes called Home Theatre is all about making the most of your film and DVD viewing experience. More than just a collection of high quality components, we believe it’s about creating a great environment, with discreet, flexible control systems allowing you to enjoy your video to the full. Great Home Cinema should be totally immersive when you want and unobtrusive when you don’t. So whether you want: - a hidden ceiling mounted projector
- a retractable powered screen
- a large plasma screen that slides completely out of view when not in use
- a concealed or beautifully disguised speaker system
we will help you build a Home Cinema setup that gives you the best viewing experience without compromising your home. Our new offices in Thirsk, North Yorkshire feature a stunning home cinema installation featuring leading products from Sim2, Lexicon, ArtCoustic and Screen Research
 Discreet installation Discreet installation is not just for Home Cinemas. We can design a variety of solutions for concealing screens when not in use. There are a variety of options – Mirror TVs that just appear to be mirrors when the TV is off, Picture mounting mechanisms that raise or lower to reveal a recessed screen behind them or lifting mechanisms that raise a screen out of a cabinet, even out of a fireplace.

With video distribution systems you can have multiple screens all playing the same central source – imagine watching a DVD downstairs on your home cinema setup, pausing it and resuming watching your film from the same point on an LCD in the bedroom. You can also have multiple screens all with access to different central sources with the ability to switch between them. This is an area of change. We help you to understand what the next developments might bring and how you can best plan to get the maximum out of your investment. High Definition TV and IP based video distribution systems offer a great deal but need to be planned for now
