ViewSonic Adds Glasses to Go with Its 3D Projection
 CIS - Charlotte & Asheville NC's #1 Choice For 3D Media Room Design! The company has introduced its $99 PGD-150 active shutter 3D glasses
Those 3D glasses aren’t going away, so you might as well find a pair that doesn’t make you look too geeky. Good thing the new PGD-150 from ViewSonic appears to be pretty sleek, and even comes with three sizes of custom interchangeable nose pieces so it’s stays comfy with all that 3D viewing you’re going to be engaging in soon.
For one thing, ViewSonic says it made the PGD-150 Active Stereographic 3D shutter glasses with an education setting in mind, so it says the product is “designed for heavy classroom usage and easy cleaning.”
That’s a nice perk, but we’ll be especially interested in how the frames do with home theater viewing when mated to ViewSonic’s own DLP Link 120Hz/3D Ready projectors, especially as more 3D TV and Blu-ray content is introduced.
The company says the glasses are good for viewing at up to 50 feet, which ought to make theater viewing from 10 to 15 feet away pretty darn sharp through the PGD-150’s TN Type LCD shutter and 1,000:1 contrast.
Batteries are included, and expected battery life for the glasses is 70 hours before needing replacement. Also, the build quality features a plastic, dust-proof design, ViewSonic adds, which should guard against the worst your old sofas or theater chairs manage to kick up.
The glasses are out now, with an estimated street price of $99.

URC Network Series Offers iTunes Control
 C.I.S. - Charlotte NC's 1st Choice For URC Remote Controls & Programming! MX-6000, MX-5000 and KP-4000 products “will get you to your [iTunes] playlist faster.”
URC has added iTunes control to its Network Series controllers, which include the MX-6000 Color Touch Screen, MX-5000 Wand Touch Screen Remote and KP-4000 In-Wall Touch Screen Keypad.
The Network Series products can control iTunes on any PC, Mac or Apple TV in the house with a wired or wireless connection via Apple’s Airport Express.
A URC Network Series controller will display iTunes cover art and browses and selects all iTunes content. “Without switching to IR control, users can switch from browsing on the TV to personal browsing on the Network Series controller,” URC says.
If you want to control just the volume in iTunes, URC says its controllers will communicate via standard RF and don’t need to be connected to a wireless network.
“This is a breakthrough for iTunes users who are frustrated with the old-fashioned ‘hunt-and-click’ method,” says URC VP of technology Eric Johnson. “We get them to their iTunes Playlists faster.”

9 Equipment Racks Fuel Tech-Heavy Home
 CIS - NC's #1 Choice For Home Automation and Structured Wiring Services! This home is loaded with controls and A/V, including Wilson Audio speaker systems in the theater and the gym.
We’ve seen some large home technology installations, but this is definitely one of the most comprehensive—and top-notch for A/V considering there’s not one, but two rooms that contain high-end Wilson Audio speaker systems.
It’s not even a mega, mega 20,000-square-foot home, though it does amount to about half of that area when you combine the 8,000-square-foot main house and 2,500-square-foot guest house. But this home is tech-savvy from top to bottom, with nine Middle Atlantic equipment racks throughout the house loaded with brains and brawn.
For starters, there’s full Lutron lighting controls, six zones of HVAC control, Jandy controls for the pool, spa and front fountains, security system with pan-and-scan cameras, intelligent multiline phone system, and all of that plus the A/V throughout the house is under the easy operation of a Crestron home automation system.
There are 26 zones of audio and 24 zones of video, including a powerful Kaleidescape media server system that’s routed to all the main rooms, bedrooms and gym. The gym also features those wonderful Wilson Audio speakers to rev things up for a workout.
Where Wilson really rocks the house, though, is with its full surround system, driven by mighty Halcro amplifiers, in the dedicated media room. The video is just as sweet, too, with a Meridian projector beaming onto a motorized Stewart Filmscreen masking screen system.
There are even outdoor rock speakers and three outdoor subwoofers to cover the outside, where the family can also relax in a fully loaded BBQ area. Of course, Crestron touchpanels are everywhere in the home for truly simple command of all the systems, from all of that lighting down to the motorized TV cabinet doors in the master bedroom.
