Home Theater
|
|
A high-end home theater is more than the sum of its parts. At its basic levels,
a high end home theater is a front projector for displaying movies on the screen,
a source that contains the movie, an a/v receiver to process the audio signal to
the speakers and the projector, and of course chairs to sit in. To create an
experience that is astonishing both visually and sonically, these basic parts
must come together to create a synchronicity. Listed on this page are some of
the technologies that make up a truly high-end home theater.
High Resolution 1080p Front Projector
A front projector (a.k.a. projector) is the key component in a home
theater when you want a screen larger than 65 inches. Modern projectors
aren't as cost prohibitive as they once were and with the resolution of
1080p, you'll get high definition that is cinematic or better. |
High Definition Players such as HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Discs
To truly take advantage of a 1080p projector, you will need a true
1080p source such as an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player. These sources are
the most advanced source technology on the market, offering much
more compelling video and features than a standard DVD. |
Audio/Video Receiver
An a/v receiver is the backbone of the sound of your home theater. A
high-end theater needs plenty of power, the ability to decode movie
soundtrack in Dolby Digital, DTS, and the variations there of, and
switch the video from your various video sources. Selecting the
right a/v receiver is an important factor in the overall experience
of your home theater. |
Front Left, Right, Center and
Rear Surround Speakers
The right speaker selection will guarantee that you will never want
to visit your local Cineplex again. Today's film makers intend that
you feel total immersion whether you are watching a scene of a
driving thunderstorm, a screaming jet overhead, or being enveloped
by they orchestra setting the scene with music. |
Home Theater Server aka Media Center PC
Beyond simply just having a DVD, or High Definition disk player, a home
theater server (media center PC) gives you the ability to interact with your media in a
new way whether
its movies, music, photos, television, streaming media, etc. A home
theater server is, with out question, the future of home theater and
media. |
Remote Control and Automation
While most consider the remote control merely the nuts and bolts of
controlling the home theater, we think the remote control is an
integral part of the home theater experience that goes beyond a
clicker. Imagine, the press of a button and the lights dim, the
projector comes up, and the opening credits begin to roll on your
favorite movie. |
Home Theater Seating
Today's home theater seating takes comfort and design to new levels.
Home theater is more than just video and audio, its also comfort and
style. Adding motorized foot support and top grain leather will have you
swearing off the main sitting area of your house for your home theater. |
HDMI, DVI, Component Cables ...
Often overlooked as an important part of home theater is the cables
required to connect everything. Video cables such as HDMI, DVI, and
component are required for high definition while the proper gauge of
copper and shielding is required for the best performance of your
speakers. Understanding cabling is an intricate part of any home
theater. |
Acoustic Treatment
You can hear it! A properly acoustically treated room will always
sound better than one that is not. When making an investment in
high-end speakers, it only makes since to invest in acoustic
treatment. You ears and your speakers will appreciate it. |
Projection Screens
Not all projection screens are created equally. The blackest blacks
and the whitest whites are all possible with a projection screen
designed and built for the highest quality images. Your eyes can
truly tell the difference. |
