Three Weeks from Today
By Gary Kayye, CTS
OK, I’m a Star Wars geek. Everyone who knows me knows I am. I’ve often found a way to stick in a Star Wars reference here and there in my various columns. But, this time, there’s good reason to dedicate a column to why you should see Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones on May 16th. This is industry related business.

CEDIA Makes Electronic Design a Trendy Necessity at designEx 2002
By Sherrie Morreall
Having a home with a marble bathtub, cherry wood floors and an Oriental rug is all well and good -- but let’s face it. A home isn’t a home without a proper home theatre installed. The designers, architects and artisans at the annual designEx expo also agree -- AV is the way to go in residential and commercial architectural design.

PRESENTATIONS
Affordable Style

By Beth Marchant
Streamlined design and increasing brightness—at a lower price—continue to dominate the presentation market. Manufacturers are dangling slicker and more affordable tools before corporate and educational producers’ eyes. NEC Technologies will show its new RT50X rear-projection system. At 18-inches deep and 50-inches long, the system is designed to display 4:3 data and video in tight spaces and very bright environments. Product manager Don Fasick predicts that the new system will be very popular in corporate-training and other day-to-day classroom presentations. “It’s the first 50-inch self-contained display that’s lightweight enough for mounting to a wall or ceiling or for easy room-to-room movement on a cart,” he says.

Raising the AV IQ
What are the benefits of 'smart furniture' in boardrooms?
By Rock Stamberg
