This year’s winning solution by Vision Audio demonstrated their sound and thorough design and documentation as well as their impressive installation skills. Many manufacturer products went into making this system a unique, customer-centric solution including Autonomic Controls and Crestron for integration control of the entertainment and home’s electronic systems and a number of Niveus Media Servers, leveraging the Windows Media Center experience, as the primary entertainment source throughout the home.
“Our customer is very pleased with the install. The easy to use Media Center interface and the convenience of having all the content in one place are the top reasons our customer likes the system,” said Anderson.
