Home theater with Acadian charm
This home theater features the finest styling and equipment available.
The fully custom theater in this home features culture, character, and Crestron to the nines.
Speaker Locations- The speakers outlined in blue are the surrounds, Green are the subwoofers, Red are the in-seat subwoofers.
THE BASICS
The theater space is defined by stained Mahogany columns housing 6 of the surround speakers. The space between the columns is decorated by stately, trimmed suede leather panels set on top of custom-made cushioned wall coverings, all serving to add balance and a rich texture to the room. Illumination comes from evenly set sconces, tread lights, 3 inch down lights and star light panels.
The geometry of the exposed wooden beams adds a strong, expansive quality to the space, as does the star light panels, set above the beams. Custom drapes on a BTX rod complete the scene.
There are James Loudspeakers all around with Twin Velodyne subwoofers in front, and each of the 10 motorized reclining home theater seats has a bass transducer so you can literally feel each explosion!
THE HOME THEATER GEAR

A JVC DLA_RS20U Projector awakens the theater with a Stewart Luxus Deluxe Screen Wall Quicksnap (6ft 4.5in x 11ft 4in) 160in diagonal FireHawk screen.
Finally, the main characters. A Crestron AMS-AIP handles final source switching and processing. A TPS-6X and TPMC-8L provide complete control. And at the heart of it all, a DVP-HD-PRO offering 8 simultaneous sources to the screen at once.
A masterful GUI makes the system as easy to run. The Crestron DVPHD-Pro manages up to 8 pictures in picture (PIP) at once for the ultimate home theater experience.
All you do is choose from one of several pre-defined layouts.
After choosing the PIP layout, pick a source for each.
Other features include swap PIP- making it easy to watch several games, switching the most interesting game to the larger picture in the layout. You can also choose which window to “listen” to, and you can choose the source to control by just choosing its current window.
