This year was our second year as sponsors for the 16th Annual Sedona International Film Festival which concluded this past Sunday (2/28/10).
Smart Home Pro provides audio and video support for the festival's lounge areas, bar and box offices. We appreciate the opportunity to "strut our stuff" a little for the benefit of the community, and I want to thank Pat, Bev and all the staff and volunteers for their gracious help setting up and during the show. Special thanks to Timm P. for ONCE AGAIN making all this come together. Many of you speak with Timm on the phone, and if you enjoyed the setup this year (or last year, for that matter), please thank Timm when you speak with him.
Once more we highlighted some great equipment, including the Kaleidescape media server, loaned to us by Kaleidescape and so graciously with pre-loaded content. The classic movies were a big hit!
And thanks again to Severtson Film Screens for allow us the use of the 72 inch screen we set up in the VIP lounge. Severtson makes a great product right here in Arizona and we are proud to be a dealer for them.
Complimenting the installation were a Mitsubishi projector, a Polk Audio sound bar indoors, a Marantz audio / video receiver (AVR) and Boston Acoustic Metro and Voyager speakers outdoors.
This was a great opportunity to show off the GrandCare Systems wellness monitoring solutions for seniors. Look for an upcoming article in next Friday's Red Rock News!

A new blog post arrived in the email this morning, announcing the Panasonic SC-ZT2 home cinema speakers. Don't get wildly excited just yet. Just announced in Munich, we don't know when they'll be in the USA and no pricing is available.
The concept behind these speakers is fantastic, and represents an emerging trend in whole room audio. 7.1 surround sound from a pair of clean tower speakers with down-firing subwoofers? Very nice!
So if they're not available and aren't priced, why even mention these speakers?
Because we field a lot questions about "wireless speakers," that's why.
First off, unless they're battery powered, "wireless speakers" aren't truly wireless. They need power for local in-speaker amplifiers. Wireless power is a really cool concept and I'm sure some research lab is making progress on that front. Until then, remember your wireless speaker's amplifier will need a power wire.

GrandCare is the most comprehensive in-home wellness monitoring solution on the market. Communication with loved ones improves, and all involved are placed at ease knowing the system provides a simple, non-intrusive answer to keeping family members independent in their own home.
GrandCare is an interactive touchscreen monitor connected to the Internet in the resident's 
home, along with a few small activity and wellness sensors. Relatives, friends and care partners simply go online and send reminders, messages and pictures to the touchscreen. The sensors send activity and wellness reports to a secure web page and can make alert phone calls to relatives and caregivers if the system recognizes a potential problem.
GrandCare is fully customizable, expandable and moderately priced. It is easy to install with little or no new wires, and residents need no technical expertise to use GrandCare!
Seniors have a desire to remain independent in their own homes. Fortunately, staying at home is often the least expensive alternative. With GrandCare's assistance, staying at home can be safer, healthier and lead to a richer life.
Stay tuned, we'll be posting more information!

CEPro has published a roundup of new innovations on display at CES 2010.
3D Television is certainly on the way, though perhaps still in the early stages as there are some standards to shake out.
Yes, BluRay and DirecTV will have 3D content first. You'll need one of the compatible new televisions by Mitsubishi, Panasonic, LG, Samsung or others.
Anyone stopping by the showroom recently will know that "thin is in." But it'll get better if OLED prices can come down and panel sizes can increase. I'd say OLED screens from LG and Samsung were under 1/4" thick, though LG did a better job of placing the electronics.
And yes, wireless is coming along but not really...

The crew is back from this year's 2010 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas. The Electronic Home Expo (EHX) was included, so many of our home integration suppliers were included.
CES is posting video summaries on their YouTube Channel. The big topic of the show was 3D Television. Every television supplier had a demonstration (Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi).
In other news on the television front, LG, Samsung and Panasonic also showed some impressive prototype panels, from the enormous 152 inch Panasonic plasma panel to the ultra-slim but still small sized Organic LED (OLED) displays at LG and Samsung.
LG is introducing Skype and NetCast enabled televisions (you supply the USB camera for Skype). Mitsubishi showcased their LaserVue television. I've seen this television and it is every bit as good, and in some ways better than the best plasma I've seen. Energy consumption is great and this technology has great potential for larger screens.
