Imagine, if you will, lying down on your couch in your new home theater. And with the touch of your finger tip, the window shades are drawn, the screen comes down, the lights dim, and the projector turns on and shows the movie you’ve been waiting to see… This is the beauty of the automation [...]

“Just take my word for it” is not a phrase that provides a lot of comfort and assurance when purchasing anything. If you buy a house, you want to see the home inspection report. If you buy a used car, you want to see the Car Fax report. Buying an installed A/V system should be [...]

Two weeks ago, Jae Jin talked about the need for regular preventative maintenance on your audio and video systems.  But what if the maintenance of your system is beyond your technical ability?

There were many arguments on both sides that over time seem to have simmered down into a grudging truce between the most vehement opposition. In recent years I’ve found many of my contemporaries feel that whether you go with a [...]

For anyone working in the video or graphics industry the question of absolute color is essential. I’m sure we’ve all seen something on one display that looked great, but when shown on another looked terrible, or not at all like the original creation. The same thing happens in video production. In live production it isn’t [...]
