Automated Window Shading



While at the Sony Headquarters in San Diego, we noticed automated window shading from Mecoshade in action. Automated window shades can drastically improve energy consumption in homes or businesses by letting in just the right amount of sunlight and shading direct sunlight more efficiently. Based on the time of day the automated shades operate on their own and adjust to automatic settings. Many clients choose blackout shades for dedicated theater rooms.

Say Goodbye to Analog - Time for HDMI


The custom audio/video installation world is facing yet another transition in connectivity for devices. After December 31, 2010, manufacturers will not introduce new hardware with component video outputs supplying more than a standard definition resolution (480 or 576 interlaced signal).

The idea is that all high definition video will be supplied through the HDMI connection.

This transition will clearly cause some discomfort for people who have systems connected with component video cabling. There are a number of potential remedies for people with component only wiring in place. The first choice would be to deploy a set of baluns, which use either two or, later in the year one Category 5e or 6 wire to carry the HDMI signal. Essentially, these devices are stand alone boxes or wall plates, with RJ45 and HDMI jacks for connectivity.

Another alternative is wireless transmission of HDMI, but we all know how wireless can be somewhat unreliable and succeptible to drop off. Especially with a signal such as HDMI which requires so much bandwidth.

Here at Liberty Bell Alarm & Home Theater, we will always be on top of the latest technolgy and keeping our clients informed regarding the exiting world of security and home entertainment.

Sony 2010 Open House 3D coming soon!




Sony invited us to San Diego to take a tour of their headquarters and 2010 product lineup. All Sony HDTV's have been completely redesigned with a very elegant monolithic look. Sony will be making a huge push during the summer of 2010 bringing 3D to the home envioronment. Major networks including Discovery and ESPN will soon be broadcasting in 3D. The next World Cup will also be broadcast in 3D. What do you think of 3D? I sure enjoyed Avatar in 3D and know I'm not the only one that was blown away... not by the plot of course but by the 3D technology and visual imagery! Sony will be supplying active shutter glasses along with the sale of the TV's. I think people will love it or hate it. My own personal feeling is that 3D will be huge for all the gamers out there. Sony is also making a big push in bringing online content and streaming to all their TV's and bluray players i.e. facebook, pandora, youtube, netflix etc. Itouch and Iphones will also serve as remotes for all new Sony bluray players making searches for online content a breeze. Check out some of the pictures from our trip and contact us if you're looking for the latest from Sony!
