Innovative Sight & Sound Honored at CEPro’s 2024 Home of the Year Awards

At the 2024 CEDIA Expo, Innovative Sight & Sound proudly received top honors at the CEPro Home of the Year Awards. These awards reflect our dedication to blending cutting-edge technology, stunning design, and exceptional customer collaboration to create spaces that enhance how people live and entertain.

We were thrilled to win two gold awards:

  1. Best Media Room/Den/Multipurpose Room – Birmingham Location
  2. Best Home Theater Over $100K – Tampa Location

Here’s a closer look at the award-winning projects:

Birmingham: A Sports Media Den Like No Other

Under the leadership of AJ Keith, our Birmingham team transformed an underutilized basement into a vibrant multifunctional entertainment hub. This dynamic space now includes an interactive game area, a sleek cocktail bar, and a state-of-the-art home theater.

Project Highlights

  • Interactive Game Area: Features arcade games, a pool table, and a foosball table, with dual 85-inch Samsung TVs ensuring no one misses the action.
  • Cocktail Bar: Custom-built with a sophisticated touch, it’s accented by a 55-inch Samsung Frame TV, which can display sports highlights or blend seamlessly into the décor.
  • Home Theater: A dedicated space with a 120-inch Screen Innovations screen, powered by a Sony 4K Laser projector and 7.4.4 JBL Synthesis in-wall speakers, creates an immersive viewing experience.

Challenges and Solutions

Adapting the existing basement layout and navigating varying ceiling heights required close collaboration between our sales and installation teams, the builder, and the homeowner. This partnership ensured the project stayed on track and exceeded expectations.

AJ Keith Reflects

“These two rooms were particularly exciting projects for us,” AJ shared. “The home theater offers the ultimate cinematic experience, while the sports media den provides a dynamic space to watch multiple games simultaneously with friends. Each space serves a unique purpose, but they both maintain a clean, modern aesthetic that ties them together. Seeing this project win this award is a fantastic recognition of our team’s dedication and attention to detail.”

Tampa: A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Managed by Tampa’s location manager, Anthony Dimicco, brought a client’s Star Wars dream to life with an awe-inspiring home theater. This custom-built space is as visually striking as it is technically advanced, delivering a cinematic experience that immerses users in the Star Wars universe.

Project Highlights

  • Room-Within-a-Room Design: Constructed to achieve unparalleled sound isolation using advanced materials and techniques, ensuring no audio leakage.
  • Dynamic Lighting: Features Colorbeam LED DMX controllers and American Lighting RGBW strips, evoking the ambiance of iconic Star Wars locations.
  • Immersive Audio & Visuals: Equipped with a Wisdom Audio surround system and a 185-inch Stewart Filmscreen, powered by a Sony VPL-XW6000ES projector for exceptional picture quality.
  • Versatile Entertainment: Systems like the Kaleidescape Terra Movie Server, Xbox Series X, and Apple TV 4K ensure limitless content options.

Challenges and Solutions

Building a highly customized room that balances thematic design with functionality required precision and creativity. From integrating lighting effects to fabricating custom décor, every detail was thoughtfully executed to achieve the ultimate cinematic experience.

Anthony Dimicco Reflects

“Some of the most exciting and rewarding projects we work on are when the client’s passion and excitement for home technology matches our team’s,” said Anthony. “This project showcases the outcome of that collaborative effort in every detail. Winning this award is a testament to our hard work and dedication, and it motivates us to keep bringing our clients’ visions to life.”

Elevating Ambrosia: Smart Automation and Lighting by Innovative Sight & Sound 30A

Creating the Perfect Dining Ambiance

At Ambrosia Prime Seafood and Steaks, located in the Watersound Town Center near 30A, the dining experience goes beyond the exquisite food. The ambiance plays a pivotal role in enhancing the overall experience, and Innovative Sight & Sound 30A was brought in to ensure that every detail was meticulously executed. By integrating Control4 automation and centralized lighting control, we crafted a moody and elegant atmosphere that complements the high-quality dining offered at Ambrosia.

The lighting system is fully automated, allowing staff to easily adjust the ambiance according to the time of day or special events, all from Control4 touch panels or iPads. This level of control ensures that the restaurant’s atmosphere is always just right, whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a lively gathering of friends.

Learn more on smart automation

Seamless Integration of Audio and Video

To maintain the restaurant’s sophisticated aesthetic, we seamlessly integrated audio and video solutions. JBL speakers were strategically placed throughout the space, ensuring high-quality sound that complements the dining experience without overpowering conversations. We took extra care to custom color-match the speaker covers to blend perfectly with the ornate ceiling tiles, preserving the restaurant’s elegant design.

In addition to the audio system, LG TVs were wall-mounted with a cordless installation, providing entertainment options without detracting from the restaurant’s upscale feel. The focus was on delivering a clean and unobtrusive installation.

Robust and Reliable Network Infrastructure

Behind the scenes, a robust Ruckus network was implemented to ensure that all systems—whether it’s the Control4 automation, the audio and video solutions, or the day-to-day operations—run smoothly and without interruption. This reliable network backbone is crucial for maintaining the high standards expected at a fine dining establishment like Ambrosia.

With everything integrated into a single, user-friendly interface, the restaurant staff can easily manage all aspects of the environment, allowing them to focus on what they do best: delivering an unforgettable dining experience.

Crafting the Perfect Home Theater

Crafting the Perfect Home Theater

A Step-by-Step Guide

At Innovative Sight & Sound, we believe that a dedicated home theater is more than just a luxury—it’s a gateway to immersive entertainment experiences that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Designing such a space requires careful planning and a keen eye for detail to ensure that every element contributes to an optimal viewing and listening environment. Here’s a detailed guide to the steps involved in designing a dedicated home theater room, focused on delivering the best possible experience for our customers.

Step 1: Selecting the Right Space

The journey to creating the perfect home theater begins with choosing the ideal room. Basements are often preferred due to their natural sound insulation, but any room that can be isolated from external noise and light sources can work. Consider the room’s dimensions, aiming for a space that allows for comfortable seating and proper speaker placement.

Step 2: Soundproofing and Acoustic Treatment

Soundproofing is essential to prevent external noise from disrupting your movie nights and to keep the theater sound from leaking into the rest of the house. This can be achieved by adding insulation, using soundproof drywall, and installing solid-core doors.

Acoustic treatments, such as wall panels, bass traps, and ceiling clouds, help manage sound reflections and improve audio clarity. These elements are strategically placed to ensure balanced acoustics, making sure every whisper and explosion is heard with crystal clarity.

Step 3: Lighting Control

Lighting plays a crucial role in the home theater experience. We recommend installing dimmable, recessed lighting to create a cinematic ambiance. Wall sconces or LED strips can add a touch of elegance without causing screen glare. Blackout curtains or motorized shades are also essential for controlling natural light and preventing any interference with the picture quality.

Step 4: Screen and Projector Selection

The screen and projector are the heart of any home theater. The size of the screen should be proportional to the room size, typically ranging from 100 to 150 inches diagonally for most home theaters. We guide our customers in choosing the right screen type—whether it’s a fixed frame, motorized, or acoustically transparent screen.

The projector must be chosen based on the room’s lighting conditions and desired resolution. We recommend 4K projectors with high brightness and contrast ratios for the best viewing experience. Proper placement and calibration of the projector are crucial to avoid distortions and ensure a sharp, vibrant picture.

Step 5: Audio System Installation

A high-quality audio system is paramount for creating an immersive theater experience. We typically suggest a 7.1 or 9.1 surround sound system, depending on the room size and customer preferences. Speakers should be placed at ear level for seated viewers, with the subwoofer positioned to enhance bass without causing distortion. For larger rooms, additional speakers or an Atmos setup can be considered to add height effects.

Step 6: Seating Arrangement

Comfortable seating is essential for long movie marathons. We offer a range of options from luxurious theater recliners to customizable sectional sofas. Seating should be arranged to ensure every viewer has a clear sightline to the screen, with optimal viewing angles and enough space for movement. For larger theaters, tiered seating can be added to enhance visibility for all guests.

Step 7: Integrating Smart Technology

Smart home technology can elevate your home theater experience. We recommend integrating a home automation system that allows you to control lighting, sound, and even the projector with a single remote or smartphone app. This seamless integration ensures you can focus on enjoying your movie without fumbling with multiple remotes.

Step 8: Aesthetic and Thematic Design

The final step is to add personal touches to the theater’s design. This includes choosing a color scheme, thematic decor, and adding custom elements like movie posters, popcorn machines, or even a marquee sign. The goal is to create a space that reflects your style and enhances the overall movie-watching experience.

Conclusion

Designing a dedicated home theater room involves a harmonious blend of technical expertise and creative vision. At Innovative Sight & Sound, we work closely with our customers to understand their needs and preferences, ensuring that every home theater we design provides an unparalleled entertainment experience. With careful planning and attention to detail, we can transform any space into a cinematic haven that will be the envy of every movie lover.

High Performance Surround Sound

A high performance surround sound system starts with the room itself. Acoustics play an extremely important role in the final results of any system. You can use the best equipment in the world, but if the room is poorly designed it can be challenging and expensive to overcome.

If you’re building a new home we can work with you and your architect to ensure that the dimensions of your room are ideally suited to surround sound applications. With the right dimensions even a budget friendly system can sound amazing.

If you’re working with an existing room we can help you work through the acoustical challenges that often come up when adding a surround system.

Imagine easily listening to all of your favorite music from any room in your home. Your favorite streaming sources can be accessed from any remote, touchscreen, or smart device. Enjoying your favorite music has never been easier. It’s only the touch of a button away.

Want music in every room in the house? No problem, simply select the rooms you want and the music you want to listen to and you’re ready to go. Our systems are designed to enhance your enjoyment of your home.

LUTRON INTEGRATED LIGHT CONTROL

Lighting systems can simplify and enhance the look of your home. Replace the large banks of switches on your walls with an elegant keypad that can operate every light in the room.

With a Lutron solution you’ll never have to remember which switch controls which light again.

Simply press the “On” button and every light in the room comes on to a pre-programmed level.  Our experienced team can design and install a solution that fits your budget and needs.

An automated system replaces these banks of switches with a simple and elegant keypad. Not only does this cut down on wall clutter, but it also allows you to use your lighting to enhance the interior details and architectural features of your home. One keypad can control anything from a single light, to an entire room, to the whole house.

In addition to simple “ON” and “OFF” functions, each keypad can be pre-programmed to carry out multiple “scenes”. Perhaps you’re entertaining tonight, simply press the “Entertainment” button and all the lights in the house can be set to a pre-determined level. Ready for bed? Press the “Sleep” button on the keypad next to your bed and all of the lights in the house will be turned off for you. You can even have a few lights stay on for security purposes.

Outdoor lighting can also be added to your system to enhance both the look and security of your home. And just like the interior lights they can be controlled from any keypad, remote, or smart device.

We use Control4, Colorbeam, and Lutron lighting products.

CLIMATE CONTROL (HVAC) INTEGRATION

Integrating your thermostats into your system allows you to adjust the climate throughout the house using one simple interface. Set temperatures, adjust schedules, and monitor your system from anywhere in the world.

We can even install occupancy sensors that allow your home to turn off rooms that are no longer in use.

Integrating your heating and cooling system into your smart home system delivers convenience and significant energy savings.  Quickly and easily set the temperature for any room in your house using a smart phone, tablet, or touchscreen remote.  Our automated thermostats are completely programmable, allowing you to set the schedule for each climate zone in your home.

Since your entire home is accessible via your phone or tablet you can even control the temperature of your home while you are away.  Perhaps you left on vacation but forgot to turn down the air conditioning.  No problem, simply open your control app and set the system to vacation mode from wherever you are in the world.

MOTORIZED SHADES & BLINDS

By integrating your shades and blinds into your system you can further enhance energy savings and security. During the hot days of the Georgia summer direct sunlight can cause indoor temperatures to increase dramatically.

Help lower your cooling costs by having your shades and blinds automatically close during the hottest parts of the day.​

– Automate Shades, Blinds, & Curtains

– Wireless Options​

Innovative Sight & Sound offers a full line of motorized shades to suit both your design needs and lifestyle. Automated shades can lower and raise based on the time of day, keeping your cooling costs down in the summer. Shades are simple to operate and are integrated into the same keypad as those used to control your lights.  This allows you to quickly and easily change the amount of natural light in any given room with the touch of a button.

Shades can also be used protect valuable furniture and artwork from damaging rays of the sun.

Luna Surveillance Camera Mobile App

INTEGRATED SECURITY and SURVEILLANCE

When it comes to your family, security is a high priority.  Integrating your security system with your smart home allows you to monitor everything from one app on your smart phone.

Arming and disarming your alarm is just the start.  You can also automate lighting in the event of an emergency such as a fire or home invasion.  We also provide video surveillance solutions.

Our smart homes allow you to leverage your home’s security system to create even more peace of mind.  You can monitor your home from anywhere inside the house, or from anywhere in the world.  Need to disarm the system while you’re out of town to allow someone into the house?  No problem.  Simply hop on your smart phone or tablet and you can disarm the system in seconds.

Integrating your security system also allows you to control lighting functions based on alarm events such as a fire or intruder.  If your system detects either, it can turn on the lights, potentially scaring off a burglar, or giving you light quickly.

Home Automation

SIMPLICITY

That’s what home automation is all about. Imagine adjusting the lights, the climate, even browsing your personal music library all from one simple to use remote.  Control4 offers the best home automation systems on the market in terms of cost and reliability.

FUNCTIONALITY

The idea behind automation is to make your life easier. See yourself arriving home, arms full of groceries and with the press of a button on your key chain you disarm the alarm, turn on the lights, even start your favorite TV show.

EFFICIENCY

Automation integrates all the independent systems in your house allowing for more efficient use of all the systems. And the best part is, we handle everything. We tailor a system to your specific lifestyle needs.

Tired of dealing with multiple remotes to control your home entertainment system or home theater?  We can integrate your audio video and home theater system into one simple-to-use remote or touchscreen device.  This makes watching your favorite movie or TV show as simple as the press of a single button.

Gone are the days of multiple pieces of electronics in each room.  We will be your one-stop audio visual consultant.

In addition to our home theater installation services, Innovative Sight & Sound specializes in implementing whole house audio video systems.

We design and build centralized systems that keep all of your equipment in one central location that is out of sight and easy to service.  These components are then distributed throughout the various rooms of your home.  This helps reduce the impact of electronics components on the decor of your home and also reduces the amount of equipment you need to own.  Your favorite recorded shows, movies, and music will be available in any room you like from the living room, to the gym, to the master bedroom.

Imagine easily listening to all of your favorite music from any room in your home.  Your CD’s, MP3’s and of course your favorite streaming sources such as Pandora and Rhapsody can be accessed from any remote, touchscreen, or smart device.  Enjoying your favorite music has never been easier.  It’s only the touch of a button away.

Want music in every room in the house?  No problem, simply select the rooms you want and the music you want to listen to and you’re ready to go.  Our systems are designed to enhance your enjoyment of your home.

Light plays a crucial role in our world. Nothing can impact the ambiance in a room as quickly as the lighting. Automated lighting systems have become an essential part of today’s high end homes. They deliver a wide range of benefits and conveniences that improve both the look and functionality of a home. Standard lighting requires banks of light switches that must be turned on and off manually.

An automated system replaces these banks of switches with a simple and elegant keypad. Not only does this cut down on wall clutter, but it also allows you to use your lighting to enhance the interior details and architectural features of your home. One keypad can control anything from a single light, to an entire room, to the whole house. In addition to simple “ON” and “OFF” functions, each keypad can be pre-programmed to carry out multiple “scenes”. Perhaps you’re entertaining tonight, simply press the “Entertainment” button and all the lights in the house can be set to a pre-determined level.

​Or perhaps you’re ready for bed? Press the “Sleep” button on the keypad next to your bed and all of the lights in the house will be turned off for you. You can even have a few lights stay on for security purposes.

Outdoor lighting can also be added to your system to enhance both the look and security of your home. And just like the interior lights they can be controlled from any keypad, remote, or smart device. We use both Control4 and Lutron lighting products.

Another popular feature of today’s smart home is automated shades and blinds.  Natural light can help enhance the look of any room but in the South it can also cause your energy costs to skyrocket.  Automated shades can lower and raise based on the time of day, keeping your cooling costs down in the summer.

Innovative Sight & Sound offers a full line of motorized shades and drapery to suit both your design needs and lifestyle.  Shades are simple to operate and are integrated into the same keypad as those used to control your lights.  This allows you to quickly and easily change the amount of natural light in any given room with the touch of a button.

Drapes, shades and blinds can also be used to enhance security and energy efficiency.  If you’re away on vacation your system can be programmed to make it appear that someone is still at home all while reducing the amount of sunlight entering the home thereby lowering the ambient temperature.  Shades can also be used protect valuable furniture and artwork from damaging rays of the sun.

Integrating your heating and cooling system into your smart home system delivers convenience and significant energy savings.  Quickly and easily set the temperature for any room in your house using a smart phone, tablet, or touchscreen remote.  Our automated thermostats are completely programmable, allowing you to set the schedule for each climate zone in your home.

Since your entire home is accessible via your phone or tablet you can even control the temperature of your home while you are away.  Perhaps you left on vacation but forgot to turn down the air conditioning.  No problem, simply open your control app and set the system to vacation mode from wherever you are in the world.

Luna Surveillance Camera Mobile App

Who isn’t concerned about home security?  Our smart homes allow you to leverage your home’s security system to create even more peace of mind.  You can monitor your home from anywhere inside the house, or from anywhere in the world.  Need to disarm the system while you’re out of town to allow someone into the house?  No problem.  Simply hop on your smart phone or tablet and you can disarm the system in seconds.

You can even check your security cameras while you’re at it.

Integrating your security system also allows you to control lighting functions based on alarm events such as a fire or intruder.  If you’re system detects either, it can turn on the lights, potentially scaring off a burglar, or  giving you light to quickly and safely exit the house.
