Pre-recorded video can be uploaded in several formats: MPEG ½, DivX, Xvid, H.264, and WMV9.  MP3 files can also be uploaded. Photos must be JPEG format. Content can be easily customized with background music and scrolling text.

Several Runco projectors have just met the display performance requirements of THX. Runco VX-33i and VX-33d DLP home cinema projectors, as well as the QuantumColor Q-750i and Q-750d lampless LED home theater projectors, have each received the coveted THX Display Certification.

Now available, Elite Screens has a nifty projection screen that gives users the option between two aspect ratios.

The dual format screen can run at either a 16:9 HDTV or 2.35:1 Cinemascope image.

Users can switch formats with the push of a button, while maintaining a centered image coordinated to the projector’s lens memory. The screen features CineWhite 1.1, which is a gain tensioned front projection material with wide diffusion uniformity.

This year, the Winter Olympics is recording, distributing, and displaying all of the 2010 Vancouver games and events, in full digital HD, using Crestron DigitalMedia (DM).

Crestron is providing their DM and RoomView remote management software. This technology ensures safety, security, and entertainment for all athletes, media, and spectators.
