Greetings!
Keith and Jon

Welcome again to our monthly newsletter, "Cinema and Style".

In this edition, we focus on what we see as the 5 hottest trends for the contemporary electronic home.  Whether you are building a new home or are interested in updating your current home to the latest in home entertainment or home control and energy management. 

Our favorite 5 trends are:

(1) Home Entertainment Media Servers

(2) Whole-home Automation

(3) Energy and Resource Monitoring

(4) Home Theater and Entertainment Areas

(5) Cell Phones (PDA's) Come Home

We thought that we would also address a few product types that we feel the design community may not be familiar with yet could become a useful tool.

My goal is to explain in simple terms how it will benefit the designer and the client. So here goes.


As always, we encourage your feedback to our newsletter and look forward to any design ideas or real world issues that we can help resolve in order to make your projects as pleasing as possible. Just call or drop us an email anytime.

Thank you and we hope you are finding our newsletter both informative and useful.

Home Media Servers:  What does this mean?
                                                                                           Media server by - Xtream Media Servers
                               If you are having some difficulty keeping up on the "latest                                       and the greatest" of today's home technology,  you are in the majority (by a
                    long shot).  However, if you do have more than just a passing interest you
                   probably have heard of media servers. These devices can very well change your
                   viewing habits forever (and for the better).  Here are the answers to the common
                  questions that arise when discussing this topic.

  Easy, safe and secure in these times?  Home automation serves many
functions.   One function can be to turn on your home's hallway and outdoor lights at dusk
and raise the inside temperature to a comfortable 78 degrees before you even leave your office.
Here we explore some home automation questions and scenarios.

       #3 Hottest Trend


Home Energy and Resource Monitoring - Automatically

                                                                                                    Source - Lucid Design Group

Until recently, energy monitoring and the various technologies for the control of power consumption was a pursuit generally reserved for large commercial and institutional projects where energy efficiency in design could literally save millions.  Now, in today's new leaner and greener residential market, many of these systems are emerging, scaled-down and simplified for home use.

Home Theaters and Media Rooms - There is nothing like it!!
                                                                                                                      Cinema Montagna by Innovative Theatres

Home theaters and media rooms continue to be the most sought after additions to  new and remodeled home.  What makes these rooms so desirable?  Of course, there are many reasons but the issues that we hear most often are that commercial theater ticket and concession prices are almost out of reach and that the home theater technology has become so advanced that the well-designed home theater can compete and sometimes exceed the commercial theater experience.  Here we touch on the new home theater experience.

Today's modern cell phones offer users a myriad of fun and useful applications from exotic ring tones to GPS travel mapping. One not so obvious feature that we're going to explore here is the ability of your mobile phone to access, monitor, and control your home with the press of a button.  Here we discuss the possibilities.
