Most homeowners put a Blu-ray player, cable box and TV along the wall, but what if we told you there was a better way? A whole house video system saves space and streamlines your viewing experience. When you connect your media system to your smart home, browsing content and organizing your movies and music becomes hassle free.

We&rsquo;ll place Blu-ray players, cable boxes, video game consoles, and other media devices in a storage area so that it&rsquo;s out of sight and won&rsquo;t affect your interior design. Our staff uses professional equipment racks, which are efficient and neatly organized, so your wires are never a mess. Instead of investing in four Blu-ray players for all the rooms with TVs, you can distribute one or more throughout your home and then easily switch sources between TVs. For example, you can play the same movie on all the screens, or play the football game on one, a movie on a second, and a TV show on another. The only thing you will see in your bedroom is the TV screen and speakers, which will be neatly installed in the wall to save space.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"></span><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>2.</strong><strong>You can pick up where you left off in any room.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">One of the great features of having a whole house audio/video system is easily switching content from room to room. For example, you&rsquo;ll be able to start a movie in the living room, pause it, and then pick up exactly where you left off upstairs. Play a different program in every room of your home &ndash; inside or outside &ndash; or the same show on all displays. We have different audio and high-definition video distribution switches and controllers to scale to the size of your Colorado property. So it doesn&rsquo;t matter if you have 20 TV&rsquo;s or four, we have the right equipment to meet your needs.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"></span><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>3.</strong><strong>You can get rid of remote control clutter.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Do you like swiping or pressing buttons? Whether you prefer to select a show on a tablet or on a remote control, we have plenty of options that can be tailored to your personal preferences.&nbsp; Use a universal remote that not only places all of your favorite channels in one convenient location, but also allows you to control your shades, lights, thermostat and other main features of your home. Get rid of coffee table clutter, and iPhone app clutter too, with our handheld remotes. They are easy to use in the dark too since they have bright, high-resolution displays. You&rsquo;ll be able to close the drapes, turn down the thermostat, and play the newest episode of <em>The Walking Dead</em> with the same intuitive device.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Need an audio/video upgrade?</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://amxdesigner.com/index.php/contact" style="color: #000000;">Contact Us</a></span></p></div></div> <br /> <b>Strict Standards</b>: Declaration of ElementTextarea::_renderRepeatable() should be compatible with ElementRepeatable::_renderRepeatable($function, $params = Array) in <b>/home/controlo/public_html/media/zoo/elements/textarea/textarea.php</b> on line <b>19</b><br /> <br /> <b>Strict Standards</b>: Declaration of ElementTextarea::getControlName() should be compatible with ElementRepeatable::getControlName($name, $array = false) in <b>/home/controlo/public_html/media/zoo/elements/textarea/textarea.php</b> on line <b>19</b><br /> <div class="element element-text first"> Expand Your Home Audio Video Experience</div> <div class="element element-textarea last"> <div><p><span style="color: black;">If you enjoy movies, music, games, and sports, placing a home entertainment system in each room of your Steamboat Springs, CO home can be time-consuming.

They are the number-one selling projector manufacturer worldwide. Depending on your budget, you could go all out and get a 4K model, or a high-quality HD projector which will also produce incredible images. Projectors produce bigger images and are more suitable for large rooms or basements. You&rsquo;ll want to invest in a good projector over a TV when you want a huge image for a big space or secluded room.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">TVs:</span></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">TVs are a good choice when you want to watch sports games or shows in a lot of different places, like outside on the deck, in the kitchen, in your bedroom, or the living room. We could also install multiple TVs alongside each other to create a video wall that allows you to watch different channels at the same time, play video games in a multi-player mode, or watch one giant image on all of them.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">Screens:</span></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">If you choose a projector, then you need a screen to go along with it. We have certain screens that can be viewed in direct sunlight without massive color distortion. You can keep the windows open and still enjoy Sunday afternoon football games, or sip a beer out on the deck and watch baseball games in the Spring. Our team can also hide your screen and projector when they are not in use so it doesn&rsquo;t disrupt your home&rsquo;s d&eacute;cor. Hit a button, and the projector and screen appears in seconds.</span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Surround Yourself with Music</span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">One way to create a festive ambiance during the holidays is to play music. In order to stream themed playlists, you&rsquo;ll need a whole house audio system and a control device to manage all your radio stations, personal music collections, and streaming subscriptions. Control Designer will first install speakers in the ceiling throughout your home so you can play music in every area.&nbsp; Then we will setup your control system so you can easily select songs, albums and playlists from popular sources like Pandora, Spotify, Tidal, and XM Sirius Radio. If your home theater is in a separate room, then we can install a surround sound system to go along with it. That way some guests will be able to watch the football game in the home theater, and others can enjoy holiday tunes in the kitchen while the turkey is cooking. No matter what your aim is for Thanksgiving Day, our team can create a customized solution to fit your exact needs and personal preferences for home entertainment.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Are you ready for Thanksgiving?</span><a href="http://www.controldesigner.com/index.php/contact"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">Contact us today</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">to upgrade your Colorado home theater or media room so you can enjoy every season in luxury.</span></p></div></div> <div class="element element-text first"> Enjoy Thanksgiving with Quality Audiovisuals in Your Colorado Home</div> <div class="element element-textarea last"> <div><p style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Usually people associate Thanksgiving with food, and lots of it.
