Hunter creekway, Houston - Audio/Video System Upgrade

​

This client was ready to upgrade a large portion of his home audio/video entertainment system including all surround sound receivers, source components, televisions, universal remote controls, and many miscellaneous parts from HD to Full HD video quality with ultra high resolution audio content. He also wanted a specialist to fix operational bugs in his home systems and tidy up his audio/video closet. 

​

Challenges:

All audio/video surround sound receivers, cable boxes, Bluray/Dvd players, VCR, Multi-room amplifiers, and universal remote control base stations were centrally located in an unsightly metal shelving in his master bedroom closet with all TVs wall mounted in four rooms. 

​

In addition, his home was not prewired with the right type of cables for transmission of full HD content from the closet to the TVs. and he was not ready or willing to pay the prohibitive costs of opening walls and retrofitting the right cabling system for a full HD system and beyond. 

​

​

Solution:

LifeStyle Technologie took inventory of his entire home entertainment system. Identified obsolete units that are not compatible with the new signal format and replaced them with latest models.

 

For Full HD signal transmission to TVs using existing coax wiring inside the walls, LifeStyle Technologies recommended and installed HDMI Over Coax with bidirectional IR and dynamic EDID extenders to convert and transmit Full HD content from the equipment in the master bedroom closet to the TVs all around the home.

 

For a clean and tidy av closet, all av equipment were relocated and professionally installed inside a 42U AV-Rack with cable management, cooling fans and power conditioners/surge protector to clients satisfaction.
