    The client required a simple but high tech audio and HD video distribution system, lighting control and the ability to use iPads.

    Sensory International delivered on this by incorporating the Lutron lighting control into the security system. The property gates, garage doors and alarm system have all been programmed to work with the client’s key-fobs.

    A Kaleidescape system was used in the cinema. High definition video is distributed to all of the TV screens around the property. The iPads have ‘roaming’ capabilities for full house control over the lighting, AV, CCTV, gate access and heating control.

    This project saw Cornflake meet the brief of including a high level internal network, broadcast grade film distribution, a high grade Lutron lighting system, heating spa facilities, telephony and extensive CCTV security and door entry integration.

    The client’s love of music inspired this multi-room project. Meridian speakers have been installed in most of the family areas in this property, including the living room, conservatory and kitchen. Four iPads provide control for the whole house and can be used in any room.

    A highly sophisticated Lutron lighting system, complete with colour-changing options adds a touch of fun and glamour to the property, providing an infinite variety of options for greeting guests.

    A renovated derelict building in a prestigious London suburb has been transformed into a seven- bedroom house which includes a cutting edge whole home control and entertainment system. The CCTV system was made up of five dedicated IP cameras and three IP video door stations, all recording to an NVR.

    A modern looking residence which includes hidden speakers for surround sound, an easy to operate AV system and full lighting and climate control. Crestron temperature sensors and relays were installed for heating.

    Living has provided its client with the latest in home technology whilst retaining the period features in this four storey listed property. The system incorporates AV, access, CCTV, heating, lighting and full control.

    A whole house AV system that integrates audio, lighting, blinds and security in every room. While the technology is of the most current specification, it does not dominate the house. The installers incorporated a Control4 door entry system onto the front gate and front door. The Control4 touch panels double up as security monitors and are linked to the security DVR.

    The architecture of this home has been accentuated by the lighting scheme The Majik House has installed. Textured walls are bathed in low-energy LED lighting which can be adjusted to suit the time of day or ambience.

    A Lutron lighting system and integrated video entry and CCTV solution is operated via an AMX control system. SMC worked with Meljac to produce elegant cover flaps and bespoke plates to conceal all security items.

    This Grade 1 building incorporates lighting, security, automated blinds, audio and TV, all controlled by Control4 remotes and iPads. There are virtually no wires to be seen, a key stipulation from the client.

    Audio played a key role in this project and resulted in MDfx installing speakers in all rooms, including the shower and under water in the swimming pool, which plays announcements and music that is distributed around the house via a Control4 system.

    Using an existing Crestron system, MDfx reprogrammed the whole solution to suit the client’s needs. After pulling out all the wiring, the installer worked with a Lutron lighting system from scratch.

    SMC was tasked with the job to maximise convenience, entertainment, security and energy savings.

    The project required the highest level of automation, far greater than normally seen. Each window and door includes five levels of treatment; automated curtains, blinds, doors/windows, shutters and awnings. The user interface alone was a particular challenge to ensure intuitive use. The solution was provided using Crestron touchscreens and Lutron SeeTouch keypads.

    The house includes 24 zones of audio and 8 zones of video. The audio library had to be the same across the client's other properties and this was achieved using iTunes as the primary

    database and using iMatch. Playout of audio is via Sonos and Sire interface which allows the client to select music from the Crestron touchscreens and iPads/iPhones.

    Lutron HomeWorks QS provides the primary control of lighting and blinds/curtains throughout the property. There are 180 circuits of light and over 84 window treatments to control. Lutron also manages the operation of six water features in the garden.

    The security systems consist of an NSI Grade 3, intruder alarm giving full perimeter protection around the property and motion detection within. The whole security, CCTV and access is viewable and controllable in and away from the property.

    This three-bedroom apartment, situated on an exclusive island was to be stripped back to its skeletal structure and completely remodelled

    as a luxurious, one-bedroom apartment of unsurpassed quality.

    This project provided a number of exciting challenges for Andrew Lucas to overcome. Many speakers were to be invisible, yet some areas had no plaster for plaster-in installations. The media room called for a highly discreet yet powerful and refined sound system while the bedroom TV was not to be wall or credenza-mounted, necessitating a bespoke solution. The lighting system had to adapt to any situation whilst maintaining utmost simplicity. The client also specified that the technology should be cutting-edge, yet sympathetic to the architecture.

    The brief was to include high quality AV with a simple, non-touchscreen, push button based user interface. As the property is rented out, the system

    had to be intuitive enough for guests to use without instructions. In addition to the Crestron handheld remotes, each room also had a 12 button Crestron keypad installed to provide quick and easy access to source selection and volume control. This project boasts 73 sources and 23 displays.

    Due to the harsh, salty conditions and hurricane threat, all ceiling speakers were specified as marine grade Sonance VP Extremes. The outdoor system was based around the Sonance Landscape with 32 satellite speakers mounted in the flower beds or on the wall around the terrace, with 5 buried subwoofers and a freestanding sub on the terrace.

    This three storey apartment is beautiful-ly designed and features the very latest AV, security and lighting technology. The office, reception and cinema rooms are equipped with 5.1 surround sound. The reception area is fitted with a retractable 55˝ HD 3D Smart TV, which when not in use, retracts into a striking two storey piece of wall-mounted art.

    Technology is at the heart of this property, integrated perfectly, rather than included as an ‘add-on’. Lighting is an important feature and the Lutron lighting system enables the owner to create different ambiances instantly. A 7.2 surround sound system and Digital Projection projector provide the AV for this project.

    The fully integrated home includes 16 TVs, 16 audio zones, Wi-Fi, lighting control, HVAC, motorised shades and CCTV. Every member of this property can all operate the full system via a Control4 system. The man cave boasts a powerful 7.1 cinema set up, with B&W in-wall and in-ceiling speakers and a flush mounted 75˝ LED flatscreen.

    MDfx has designed and installed a full Crestron control system throughout this Surrey home. It also includes a full house network, audio distribution, home cinema and extensive grade 3 security and fire systems. Lutron lighting was used inside and out of the property, while Bowers & Wilkins in-ceiling speakers provide quality audio.

    A lavish family home in Surrey features an intuitive yet user-friendly home automation system that offers an abundance of convenience, simply at the touch of a button. Eighteen Crestron TSW-750 touch panels and twelve Crestron MTX-3 handheld wireless touchscreens were installed to give that extra level of convenience.

    This Dublin property includes a fully pre-programmed Lutron HomeWorks lighting control system. A Kaleidescape system was installed to allow the owner to capture media in the main house and have it seamlessly delivered to their other properties.

    Sensory International was briefed to provide a fully integrated lighting control system, AV distribution in high definition, IT and data network throughout, full security CCTV, VSAT & GSM communication, TVRO satellite TV and distribution across the yacht. A steward call system for communication via iPads and iPods was also requested. Global audio was required for live performances, so that the grand piano in the main lounge could be heard throughout the vessel. The main focus of the brief was to incorporate all of these elements into a control interface that was intuitive and easy to use.

    The games room features dual large screens with independent video and audio source selection

    so that two different video sources could be watched independently.

    A Projection Design projector was selected for the permanent external cinema so that it could be viewed during a hot sunny day or in the evening under the stars. Consideration was taken when designing the projector housing; a special air-conditioned waterproof enclosure was installed to keep the projector and its bulb cool throughout the day and night.

    The entire AV system, including the integration of the security system, was built and pre-programmed at Sensory International’s main office prior to the installation.

    This refit was split into two phases. The first saw Sensory International upgrade the network in-frastructure, commission the VSAT and provide

    new Crestron overlays for the requested roaming iPad control.

    Phase two was the upgrade of the HDMI video distribution system for 86 sources over 24 independent zones and upgrade and enhance all AV systems. There was also a requirement for a discreet back-to-back external TV system.

    One of the biggest tasks was to dismantle the AV racks, re-cable and install new hardware. Sensory International had to adapt its designs to accommodate unexpected issues with the existing system and infrastructure, to fully integrate the new components without losing any original functionality.

    The installed system was built around Savant media distribution and control. The majority of equipment was cen-tralised due to extreme

    space constraints on a yacht of this size.

    The client requested control using iPads as it was felt that this enhances the image of Gulfcraft only using the latest technologies. To ensure that the experience with iPads is as robust as possible, a dual-band Ruckus wireless network was installed using a Ruckus Zone Controller in the rack and connected to carefully placed access points throughout the yacht.

    Even though the Savant system is extremely comprehensive, it is flexible to accept requests by the future purchaser of the yacht.

    The Next Level has installed a whole home automation system into six exceptional residences overlooking Harrods in the heart of Knightsbridge.

    The latest Crestron home automation system provides simplicity and is easy to use. Each apartment is controllable room-by-room using touchscreens and remote controls. The design concept ensured all complications and unnecessary controls were removed, leaving behind a clean touch panel design with intuitive and easy to understand settings.

    Through intelligent design and programming it was possible to reduce many services down to four presets: high, medium, low and off with deeper control provided by a sub-page if required. This concept was applied to heating, cooling, lighting and audio levels throughout,

    then further customised to the homeowners individual requirements.

    The Lansbury provides all residents with the ultimate in control - with the touch of a button, you can set everything you want in each room, customised to your personal preferences, including climate, lighting, blinds, video entry, intercom, concierge facilities, movies, music and CCTV. Specific modes were programmed for each apartment, features such as Welcome Home Mode and Hibernation Mode.

    In the Concierge area, The Next Level designed a system that allows maintenance for each of the apartments to be done without having to access the apartments. Each resident is also able to view and speak to the Concierge without having to leave the comfort of their home.

    “I love the interface and the concierge systems. This is a stand-out project in this category”

    With the relatively tight budget and the client wishing to use high-end names such as Lutron and Crestron, careful consideration was given

    to hardware selection to create a benchmark specification that the client could use on other schemes. The system integrates AV, lighting, blind and window control and HVAC.

    The show apartments were programmed so that a single press of the ‘Welcome’ button on the front door keypad, switched all of the lights on to their most dramatic scene, and started off a chilled playlist of music in the bedrooms and terrace, while a Blu-ray player started in the open plan living space. Where in-wall and in-ceiling speakers were feasible, the grilles were selected to match architectural features. All heating and cooling is integrated onto the Crestron iPad app to allow easy control and remote access via the net.

    Cornflake has installed a highly flexible and future-proofed system into five high-end apartments and a large penthouse to provide ‘added value’ to the property. All apartments were fully kitted with internet access and hidden speakers in every room, along with multimedia options and Lutron lighting.

    Lighting, heating and entertainment have been integrated into high-end residential apartments and controlled via easy to use interfaces. Pre-programmed software allows the owner to download their personalised app for their apartment without any interaction with a technical support function.

    Each apartment in Park House features a fully automated smart home experience, with an all-encompassing and ingenious Crestron system. The Crestron touch panel has a microphone and speaker built into the unit, allowing one way video and two way audio communication with the front door and concierge.

    KIT LIST

    Sona Projects was commissioned to design and install an integrated technology solution for a very large new build property in Cheshire.

    In order to support this installation, a professional equipment racking system was installed within a generous second floor comms room. As the room was easily accessible the solution had to be aesthetically discrete and ‘nice to look at’ but provide adequate containment, power distribution, cable management and on-going service access.

    The project was designed with separate cable termination and main equipment racks so that the cable infrastructure could be completed, installed and tested whilst the main equipment racks were built and configured off site. This system also means that should the client ever move home, the system can be simply ‘unplugged’ from the house network and transported to their new home.

    Every data and audio video cable throughout this 16,000+ sq. ft property is cabled back to the termination panels and presented through a combination of RJ45, phoenix and f-type connectors.

    The client’s exceptionally large wish list resulted in over 30 separate control components to be fitted in the rack. Cornflake

    constructed a dedicated custom rack in the attic to house the pieces safely, out of sight, and at the correct temperature for maximum service outputs. Four free-standing Slim5 Middle Atlantic racks and two custom made Middle Atlantic in-wall racks were installed. A further two Lutron HomeWorks QS DIN module panels housed the separate lighting control system.

    Special custom-made cable trays were mounted between the free-standing racks to create an easy route for the cables to run between the racks and ease space pressures. All of the cabling had to run in the web of the steel frame. Special attention was also paid to separating high voltage and low voltage cabling.

    Cyberhomes was re-sponsible for installing a rack which would house all equipment for secu-rity, CCTV, AV, voice and data, automation and

    lighting. Space was limited, but the racks needed to be easily accessible.

    Two full size Middle Atlantic racks were installed with access to the two rear wall mount racks which houses the properties cable infrastructure as well as the incoming services. The design allowed for all power distribution to be delivered from the main equipment racks to the rear wall ensuring the client could power cycle hardware with-out the need of moving anything around. Both equipment racks were fully wired and commissioned off-site. This meant that the house infrastructure was fully tested and allowed for a seamless ‘plug and play’ scenario when delivered to site.

    Designed from the initial client brief, this project started with one rack and patch panel in a cupboard, and through continuous revisions and client requests ended up with five full sized racks and a dedicated room with its own air conditioning split system.

    The first rack houses three Control4 processors, Just Add Power video matrix equipment and sources – four Apple TVs, six Sky boxes and some power management equipment. The second includes the equipment for the three surround sound zones. The third AV rack stores the CCTV equipment and a video monitor.

    The brief for this whole house property was to install a system which integrates lighting and AV and is controlled via simple to use wall keypads and a control system that could be operated via the iPad.

    3LOGIC designed a rack layout which allowed all equipment to be hidden out of sight, a key requirement from the client. The room in which racks are placed was equipped with a technical floor which allowed easy wiring. Two air conditioning units were installed to keep the temperature low in the room.

    The main feature in this three-bedroom apartment is an eight-metre tall library wall, containing feature-lit works of art. Andrew Lucas incorporated a high-end AV system

    into the wall in a sympathetic manner which complements its aesthetics and grandeur.

    The installers provided bespoke speakers which were tailored to the available space and the client’s requirements. It adapted a premium Blu-ray player to make it concealable in the joinery and fully integrated with the control system.

    The Blu-ray player required the use of a “robotic finger” in the form of a solenoid to push the eject button. This was held in the

    exact right place to ensure it always made contact when triggered. A 12v DC power supply activates the solenoid when a relay from Savant was closed. A specially sourced slotted Blu-ray drive was used and secured into the shelf so that the slot was centred in its front. The shelf had to be specially designed to ensure it fulfilled the criteria.

    “The entire wall is an automated haven. We LOVE the idea of a robotic finger!”

    Andrew Lucas Limited

    This winning project was described by the judges as an interesting lighting scheme which highlights the three defining features – a library wall, the ceiling and two jewel boxes.

    Due to the complex nature of the lighting system and the requirement to integrate with several other elements, including 50 motorised shades, Lutron HomeWorks QS was specified. In order to satisfy the criteria for discreet and architecturally sympathetic control keypads, Lutron-compatible TruFig faceplates were employed throughout.

    The eight-metre high library wall incorporated cubby holes with pin spotlights to illuminate artwork positioned within. A plinth containing LED strips was set forward of the shelves, causing the whole wall to softly glow. The ceiling was accentuated by LED feature lighting, while the two jewel boxes contained RGB panels enabling a range of lighting schemes.

    Eighty two lighting circuits and 136 DMX channels were installed in this apartment. The lighting enclosures are discreetly recessed behind mirrors and doors in keeping with the client’s wish for a clean, minimal finish.

    Face to Face Digital The client sought to bring this historic property into the 21st century with an integrated and distributed audio-visual, security, data networking and communications system. The client challenged Face to Face Digital to create an easy to access and simple to use control solution which could help manage the energy consumption much more efficiently and deliver a substantial cut in running costs.

    The installer designed and developed a completely bespoke, demand-based energy management system, encompassing sophisticated heating and external lighting control and management of electronic systems power consumption.

    The control system is built using North Integrator, a multi-protocol IP-enabled building services controller. Using the built-in ObServer software within these controllers, a custom cause and effect logic strategy, complete with data logging, calendar and timer functions for the heating system was provided. The control system automatically manages zone valve operation throughout the property, controlling heat output from a complex mix of ancient cast iron radiators, trench heating and new underfloor heating.

    Face to Face Digital also developed a custom colour-coded interface for the system, complete with eco-control functionality which the client is able to access, monitor and adjust exclusively via his iPhone, iPad or PC.

    Improved power management technology cuts annual energy bills by nearly 80%.

    This three-day Philips Dynalite lighting control course is open to dealers, specifiers and installers who are looking to enhance or develop their lighting control knowledge

    and status, by becoming accredited Philips Dynalite Dimension Dealers.

    During the course, knowledge and practical understanding of Philips Dynalite will be studied. The session will teach participants all they need to know, to reliably specify and install a Philips Dynalite system. This knowledge will then be applied to four online exams in order to achieve Philips Dynalite Dimension Dealer endorsement.

    The Philips Dynalite course completion time is three days. Day one provides a basic overview of both Philips Dynalite and AWE, and focuses on Philips Dynalite products, applications and specifying. Days two and three focus on the Envision software and programming training. Following education-format teaching, students complete a practical task towards the end of each day, and are given two hours to achieve a technological challenge such as small scale custom install.

    AWE ensures the course is constantly updated to keep in line with the latest and most relevant CI trends.

    An informative training session which sets you in good stead for any Philips Dynalite lighting project

    Merit LILIN’s training sessions are designed to demystify IP HD cameras and Network Video Recorders (NVR) and ultimately leave home automation dealers and installers feeling confident about using LILIN security solutions in their custom installations.

    The one-day course introduces users to LILIN products and allows them to discover their multiple benefits. LILIN’s Product Trainer demonstrates and educates installers in a practical session that includes a detailed look at camera configuration, features and camera selection. Also covered is the operation and installation of the LILIN NVR.

    This course takes a practical hands-on approach to IP Video training. It is designed to demystify IP Video Security Systems and help users win new business.

    Amina Invisible Loudspeakers are installed specifically to be heard and not seen. Although not physically difficult to install, Amina has made its training mandatory with the aim of preventing avoidable errors and to enable installers to provide a blemish free, high quality result, for their end customers. The course provides the information to support this. Based on feedback received, Amina has built an installation board showing a step by step guide on how to complete an installation which is used as the basis of the final stage of the training. Potential pitfalls are explored with the aim of enabling installers to assimilate as much knowledge as possible gained from the 10,000’s of installs and thus avoid common mistakes.

    Crestron’s Digital Media Certification course includes 4K training that fully equips installers for the 4K era ahead. The faster signal speeds associated with 4K present a number of new system design and engineering challenges for custom installers. The course looks at some of these challenges including cable length, the importance of downscaling, mismatched resolution and frame rates, and incompatibility between sources and displays. The purpose of the course is to prepare students for the world of digital video and expand their knowledge to include the practical application of the wider range of Crestron Digital Media products.

  • The Seve movie pays tribute to the man behind the shot-making and on-course bravado, profiling his remarkable rag-to-riches story and emergence as a global sporting icon before his untimely death.

    Seve is introduced to viewers at the age of six when he first started creating shots on the beach near his home in Padreña. A talented young Spanish golfer plays the part of ‘Young Seve’ with conviction and authenticity, and portrays Seve’s rise to the professional ranks in his late-teens.

    From this point the film draws on archive footage (from the R&A, Ryder Cup, The Masters and European Tour) in tandem with illuminating interviews, as Seve rises to World #1 and becomes a multiple Major Champion.
