Recessed flush with the perimeter-lit front wall, a 75-inch Samsung occupies the center position with four identical 46-inch Samsung TVs flanking it. Joining the light show as the projection screen disappears are five Samsung flat-panel TVs. Add this to the twinkling fiber optic starfield on the ceiling and there’s plenty of eye candy in this 20-by-26-foot converted lower-level media room, even when the screen is tucked away.
Although blue tends to be the go-to color when watching movies, the owner can choose from a rainbow of shades presented on the screen of the touchpanel. The dramatic LED lighting enhances the movie-viewing atmosphere, says Gosch, by lining the perimeter of the cove ceiling, the wall columns, and the crown molding in a stunning blue hue. The room lighting reacts, too, with all but the step lights and colored RGB LED accent fixtures fading to black. The ability to choose from a library of preloaded films and enjoy them in crisp, vibrant high resolution was a huge eye-opener for the family, says Gosch, who prior to the media room transformation didn’t even own a Blu-ray disc.Īudio assists the video by firing through the seven speakers and two subwoofers comprised of a professionally calibrated JBL Synthesis system. Stocked with hundreds of the family’s favorite flicks on its internal hard drive, the server is the source du jour when Dad and the kids are in the mood for a movie.

For this family of sports, gaming and movie enthusiasts, ICC outfitted the media room with several DirecTV receivers and Xbox gaming consoles, as well as a Kaliedescape media server. (The room was expanded by 6 feet in the front and 6 feet on the right to make room for the screen.) Meanwhile, a Digital Projection dVision video projector fires up and various viewing options appear on the screen of the touchpanel and iPad. This solution definitely draws a crowd, providing two distinctly different media environments where everyone, no matter his or her age or viewing preferences, can find some fantastic form of enjoyment.Īn AMX control system initiates the media room morph, where at the touch of a button on a wall-mounted AMX touchpanel or an iPad Mini, a 12-foot-wide, 2.35:1 (CinemaScope) Stewart Filmscreen projection screen descends from the ceiling. “The homeowner’s main objective was to create an entertainment room where his kids and their friends would want to hang out,” says ICC’s Dan Gosch. This award-winning media space, conceived and completed by the home systems integrators at Integrated Control Concepts (ICC), Omaha, Neb., is the epitome of versatility, transitioning effortlessly from a high-end home cinema to an engaging multi-screen sports viewing and video game playing venue. Media rooms, on the other hand, are designed to play host to a variety of entertainment endeavors.
