2. About the Awards
CEDIA’s Manufacturers’ Excellence Awards
competition honors the industry’s top products.
Industry manufacturers enter the competition for
the chance to have their latest product releases
vetted by a qualified panel home technology
professionals.
Here are some highlights of the winners taking
part in this month’s free webinar.
3. Wilson Electronics – Pro 70
The Pro 70 is a high performance indoor cellular signal booster designed specifically for custom integration
applications.
It amplifies weak cellular signals and provides reliable voice and data coverage (including 4G) to interior
spaces where cell signal may not otherwise reach also supports multiple simultaneous connections and
works with all cellular enabled devices for North American carriers’ networks and technologies.
Like all Wilson boosters, the Pro 70 features cell site protections that prevent any possibility of interference
with cell towers, and an industry-leading three year warranty.
4. Crestron – Pyng
Home technology professionals can now
create lifestyle scenes for each room,
schedule events, and much more right from
an iPad®. The whole house can be ready in
minutes without ever opening a laptop.
Setting up a new home is streamlined by
pairing Crestron Pyng accessories with the
app.
Accessories include Crestron wireless
lighting controls, shading solutions, thermo-stats,
and Yale® wireless door locks, as well
as security systems.
Unlike home automation apps that control
one device, or offer limited, “DIY-level” per-formance,
Crestron Pyng controls the same
award-winning Crestron professional prod-ucts
found in the world’s most prestigious
homes.
5. Crestron – DigitalMedia 4K Products
With the Super Bowl and summer blockbusters now shot in 4K, you know the ULTRA HD revolution is in full
gear! Display prices are coming down fast and new content production is ramping up. Crestron DigitalMe-dia
™ (DM®) is leading the way to 4K for luxury home integrators.
DigitalMedia flawlessly handles 4K signal transport, eliminating the complexities of mixing various high-defi-nition
resolutions and video together with audio in one system. DM provides the flexibility to distribute point-to-
point, uncompressed video over copper or fiber, or stream content, all from the same card-based matrix
frame. It is the only end-to-end distribution system certified by the HDBaseT Alliance.
Viewers are demanding spectacular 4K content everywhere in their homes – without stretched images,
dropped pixels, or no image at all. Crestron DigitalMedia is more than 4K ready, it’s 4K already.
6. Control4 – Composer Express
Control4 Composer Express is a powerful mobile configuration app for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets that dramatically
simplifies and accelerate the set-up process for home automation installations.
Using Composer Express, a technician can now configure most one-room home theaters in very short order, or set up hundreds
of devices in the most complex whole-home installations in a few hours using their WiFi-enabled tablet or smartphone and simply
walking around the project and assigning them into a system.
Composer Express uses Simple Device Discovery Protocol (SDDP), Control4’s powerful Internet-Of-Things discovery protocol,
to automatically discover all SDDP-enabled products on the network and lets the technician integrate them into the system with
a single touch. Composer Express also provides easy access to an online library of thousands of third-party products (receivers,
TVs, security panels, cameras, and more) and ZigBee devices (light switches, dimmers, door locks, thermostats, and sensors,
and more), so that a broad range of devices can be seamlessly connected.
7. Lutron – Sivoia QS Triathlon Shades
New Sivoia QS Triathlon shades are the most fashionable,
flexible, and affordable motorized shades available today.
These new shades offer:
• Convenience - they are battery powered with a
battery life of 3 - 5 years and they are remote con-trolled,
which means they are perfect for hard to
reach windows. Now, they even work with Lutron’s
new mobile app so they can be controlled from any-where
in the world.
• Flexibility - they work with Pico wireless controls
and they also seamlessly integrate with Lutron’s
home control systems, like HomeWorks QS and Ra-dioRA2,
for total light control at the touch of a button.
• Security - they work with the timeclock functionality
on Lutron’s apps to automatically adjust shades at
pre-programmed times of the day.
• Style - they come in a wide variety of colors and tex-tures,
each hand-picked to fit today’s design needs
for any space.
One thing most people don’t know about our system is
that it offers “instant digital response”. This means that it
offers immediate reliable response to RF system com-mands.
The shades return to Eco Mode when they are not in use
in order to preserve power and minimize vampire loads.
Often times, other RF, battery powered systems are con-stantly
“listening”, which can drain the battery, or cause
false responses to other RF signals in the space.
