There can be little doubt that the residential install market is set to grow significantly over the coming years. Up until now, custom install and home automation has been almost exclusively concerned with the high-end of the residential market - but that is changing. Property developers, house builders and forward thinking home-owners are all waking up to the benefits of what might be called the ‘digital lifestyle‘. In fact, the market is expanding on all fronts - from the consumer looking for a simple ‘out-of-the-box’ home cinema system to the well-heeled businessperson realising their dream of a completely automated home.

For those bold and willing enough to make the commitment, the residential market also represents a great opportunity for the commercial installer. However, simply applying commercial market expertise to the residential arena will not be enough to guarantee success. Selling into the residential market requires a change of emphasis and approach in order to reap maximum reward.
Erno: “This is where the niche is for the installers, the large commercial installers will need some time to switch, or maybe they may never will.

Crestron has unveiled several new automation products at the ISE in Brussels. And I had a chance to see it. Yes!

They include new lighting control system a fully expandable entry-level multi-room audio system, as well as the new TPMC (Touch Panel Media Centre) series which integrates touchpanel control with embedded PC functionality.

Among the new range is the iLux CLS-C6 integrated zoned lighting system which can control six lighting zones and 6 groups of blinds or curtains. Crestron claim that the iLux CLS-C6 ican be used for either a new house or retrofit application. It can also be used to replace numerous switches and dimmers on the wall avoiding the confusion of which switch activates which light fittings. It completely centralises the lighting, blind and screen controls so that users no longer need to search for the right switch plate or fumble through trial and error to find the right combination of light settings. The iLux CLS-C6 enables user-preset lighting scenes.

In heavily populated electronics environments, most HD devices are subject to electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can corrupt data and slow down information processing–hardly ideal for cutting-edge industrial, government and medical industries, but also affecting even the humble office or studio.

Gefen’s new DVI and HDMI All-Fiber cables solve the problem by supplying all-fiber components bundled in a durable cable that protects data during its travels from source to HD display, resulting in brilliant, uncorrupted imagery on the receiving end, even when extended hundreds of feet in length.
