Here at Crestron we know better than anybody that creating a professional whole house HD distribution system today means handling the challenges that come with HDMI, that’s why we have developed DigitalMedia™, the first complete HD AV distribution system that allows virtually any mix of AV sources to be distributed throughout the home from a centralised rack.
With its clean, modern style and enviable high-tech specification, this may look like ‘just’ another smart home. But, if you think that you’ve seen it all before, then think again because it’s fair to say that this particular London pad redefines the term. Yes, this Marylebone Townhouse is in fact the first installation of Crestron’s awe-inspiring DigitalMedia™ solution - the first complete High Def AV distribution system that allows virtually any mix of AV sources to be distributed throughout the home. So; from basement home cinema, to the third floor mezzanine and all that’s in between, this is a property that is indeed picture, or should we say pixel, perfect.
Distributing HD signals to no fewer than eight displays, including 7 LG LCD TVs and a 50” Panasonic Plasma, the DigitalMedia system routes the High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) signals around the property in a truly revolutionary way. The impressive solution also successfully processes and manages the HDCP content protection which results in the complete eradication of the switching latency that plagues other HDMI switchers. So, one touch of the Crestron touchpanel and the homeowner can enjoy clarity of image and an unrivalled resolution. Based internationally the client can also benefit from Crestron touchpanels that display three different weather and time zones simultaneously.
Dave Chester of leading integrator Custom Controls, managed the install and explained, “Although the project was a challenge, we saw it as an opportunity. High Def is in great demand and we were delighted to be working on the first UK installation of Digital Media. Creating a professional whole house HD distribution system today means handling the challenges that come with HD, but these challenges have been significantly reduced thanks to Crestron. DigitalMedia has enabled me to not only meet, but to exceed my client’s HD expectations and I can’t imagine the product could be any better and we were able to deliver the project on-time and within budget”
A Crestron 2-Series Control System constitutes the brains behind the complete, integrated automation solution. Every audio, video, and environmental element of the home becomes integrated and accessible through the central control system.
