So you wanna be in Home Theaters?
By Gary Kayye, CTS
I received a lot of feedback from my column last week on CEDIA, the home theater and home automation trade show. Most of the feedback was asking how they could learn more about the home theater and home automation markets.

Creating Visual Impact: What Integrators Need to Know
By David Teel
Avenida Network

We work and play in the ultimate image industry. Vibrant colors and bigger-than-life graphics appear in magazines, on web sites . . . on the big screen. The AV industry brings us a kaleidoscope of visual communications to captivate our minds and the minds of our customers every day. Here's why integrators need to create visual impact.

Product Spotlight:
Theatre Commander
These days, users expect flexible preview switching. When you add two projectors and the ability to send what's on the screen to a video conferencing system, we're starting to talk about expensive routers and major time and effort to program the control system that drives them. Other applications, such as switching 50 or 60 VGA inputs to a single projector, can be hard to implement with off-the-shelf products. Command Systems' Theatre Commander is designed to address these problems.

A Reader Asks
I have been creating a series of motion graphics for an exhibition, the delivery equipment has already been choosen (not by me), but I am about ready to put them up on the walls. The graphics are AE animations- coded to mpeg-2- and put up on video servers. The projectors are toshiba LCD's. My question- and fear is- these are 720x480 but projected at 12-16 feet wide. Any advice on maximizing the quality of the finished projection ? Am I worrying to much about the quality of the toshiba's ? Any thoughts before I begin the testing would help alot.
