Media Design Houston - Solutions
Technical Brilliance - Human Approach
Our experienced professionals design systems that attain the highest level of style, performance, and value. We incorporate convenience and functionality with unparalleled ease of use.
We start by listening… attentively. We listen to your wish list, your concerns, and your short and long-term objectives. Then we take the mystery out and put the beauty in.
We concentrate on nine areas of knowledge — Project Integration, Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, Human Resources, Communications, Risk Management, and Procurement. Our project management consists of five processes – Initiating, Planning, Executing, Controlling, and Closing. What that means for you is a smooth, efficient operation that moves seamlessly from initial idea to finished product.
Media Design Houston - Solutions - Home Theater
"Theater is the best of life and life is the best theater." – Oscar Wilde
Home Cinemas with HDTV and Dolby Digital surround sound can transcend the ordinary and deliver an experience that your family and friends will talk about and enjoy for many years.
Creating this experience, however, requires more than just buying the latest equipment — one must take into account such things as functionality, acoustics, and sound isolation. Our design philosophy is to place the viewer in an accoustically accurate and visually striking room, to create an environment where he or she becomes part of the movie.
Theaters can be designed with a number of themes and furnishings such as motorized curtains, sconce lighting, terraced seating with leather recliners, a popcorn machine and perhaps even a ceiling with fiber-optics that replicate the evening sky — we provide whatever you need to create a space where a movie becomes an event.
Video Solutions
A great video display requires more than just a big screen. You'll also need the best possible signal. And to get that signal, video sources, processors, and distribution amplifiers have to be set up and calibrated properly.
Media Design creates systems that allow the rooms they are in to remain beautiful. We focus not just on electronics, but on design, too.
Our engineered solutions distribute video signal throughout your home. BluRay, cable, satellite, computer graphics, and live video can be fed to every television. Audio and video servers let you organize your video and music collections into a central "library" that's accessible from any room - the only components often needed in each room are TV screens and speakers. And finding what you want is so simple that even the youngest child can locate their favorite movies.
Cameras can keep a watchful eye on your property, recording what they see while letting you view real-time images on TVs, touchpanels, and even laptops. You can observe what's happening in your home, or see who is at the door before you answer.
Phones & Networking Solutions
As "online" becomes increasingly more relevant to the way we communicate, shop, bank, travel, and research, we count on high-speed wireless access to touch the world.
Media Design integrates the following features into your daily routine:
- Multi-line phones, with distinctive ring tones
- Intercom to all rooms from any location
- Speak to the front door or open drive gate
- Conference speakerphone & video conferencing
- Voicemail
- Voice over IP (VOIP) and Skype
- Internet, wireless wifi, cellular repeaters
By using a combination CAT5/6 and fiber optic cabling, Media Design engineers can ensure a unified platform that is reliable and at the forefront of network integration.
Wireless repeaters in your home mean fewer dropped calls on your cordless phone.
Lighting Control
Simplify your lifestyle with whole-house control of lights, fireplaces, fans and more. Our lighting control systems give you the ability to adjust dimming levels for dozens of lights from a single location, while increasing energy efficiency. Turn exterior lights on at dusk, and off at sunrise. Create the proper ambiance for any activity — cooking, dining, cleanup, reading, and movie watching.
Press the "Entertain" button, and set the perfect party mood. When you're ready to retire for the night, press the "Goodnight" button and interior lights turn off while outdoor lights stay lit for safety.
Never come home to a dark house again. Turn on lights from your car, or have them come on automatically. Flash exterior lights during a security breach to quickly alert the authorities. Leaving for a trip? Select the vacation mode and the system will repeat your daily lighting routine.
Dim the lights and lower the shades. Easy-to-use controls can be color matched to fit your decor perfectly.
Whole House Music
Listen to the music you want when you want and where you want. Multi-zone music systems allow different choices to be played in different rooms at the same time. You can hear your favorites in the bedroom, while your children's selections fill the playroom, and your spouse's preferences wash over the pool.
Access your Ipod from any room. Enjoy high-definition radio throughout the house. Music can be stored on a centralized server or personal computer, or streamed from the internet. Or use an old-fashioned CD player if you prefer.
Your speakers can be visible or hidden, it's your choice. There are many ways to allow for excellent sound without marring a beautiful interior.
A wall mounted keypad
provides easy access to music;
you can even select a
playlist
from your Ipod.
Control Systems
Having the best equipment is one thing. Making sure everything works together smoothly is another. A control system integrates the various systems throughout your home. It can be programmed to provide simple and complete management of your audio/video systems, lighting, motorized shades, and heating/cooling systems.
Media Design can wire your home or business to enhance your daily routines and lifestyle. Our environmentally smart systems are programmed to be reliable and flexible.
Control options include hand-held remotes, wall-mount touchpanel, laptop, or even your IPhone. Easy-to-use controls can be the difference between enjoying your system, or being annoyed by it.
