The Design

If you’ve explored outdoor home cinemas online, you’ve noticed there are as many different designs as there are people to enjoy them. Some feature large outdoor TVs that emerge from the pool when it’s movie night or multiple TVs around the bar area for the big game. 

Others offer a large movie screen for a fully immersive experience. You’ll see luxury floaties, built-in recliners, and exquisite dining areas with multiple seating arrangements.

The Lifelike Images

At Prodigy AV, we partner with industry leaders in home entertainment and automation. Two of those brands, Screen Innovations and Stewart Filmscreen, manufacture the best commercial and residential indoor and outdoor projector screens on the market. Some motorized screens disappear when not in use, whereas others encompass entire walls. Combined with today’s outdoor projectors, you experience lifelike images in brilliant colors.

Depending on the usage and area, many of our clients also opt for the large outdoor 4K UHD TVs. These also deliver incredible images, even in direct sunlight; come in sizes up to 85 inches; and withstand whatever weather mother nature throws at them.

Seamless Connectivity

While a reliable network is an increasingly critical component, we continue to put greater demands on it. Today, nearly every device in a house comes with connectivity options. In addition, the IoT (Internet of Things) continues to expand to include an ever-growing list of electronics such as media dongles, toys, appliances, and light switches. 

The demands of constant connectivity can easily overwhelm a network. The result is slow page loads, interruptions, lag, and the dreaded buffering message while watching your favorite show or the big game. Instead, a data network should operate seamlessly in the background, never calling attention to itself. 

The Best of Both Worlds

WiFi gives the freedom to enjoy devices and media without the hassle of wires, indoors or outside. Wireless communication does have its benefits, but its reliance on over-the-air signals has its limitations. 

The frequencies used for wireless networking are prone to interference from other WiFi-enabled devices and even a neighbor's network. Because anyone within the range of a router can receive the transmission, there is a greater chance of illicit access by hacking.

The Personalized Approach

When you picture your home theater, do you see plush tiered seating, a starlit ceiling, wall sconces that look like candlelight, a wall-sized movie screen, and a projector on the ceiling? For some, that image is ideal, but many options exist in today's home theater design. 

Some of our clients see sectionals, chaise lounges, and gaming chairs for the ultimate video game showdown. Others envision a bar, pool table, unique tables, and comfy chairs sprinkled throughout the room alongside one of today’s 100-inch 4K HDR TVs descending from the ceiling when it’s movie or game time. As you can imagine, there is no one-size-fits-all model and a nearly limitless number of possibilities.

Our team takes the time to learn about your goals and vision to deliver a customized home theater that exceeds your expectations. 

Design Meets Engineering

Today’s audio-video technology has set the bar high for the home theater experience. 4K HDR video delivers lifelike images in brilliant colors with depth and realism once relegated to the finest commercial cinemas. Dolby Atmos offers 3D object-based audio, immersing the viewer in a bubble of sound.

Convenient Control

One of the biggest advantages of motorized window treatments over manual shades is that they can be controlled with a press of a button. While you may have to use a cord to lower or raise manual shades, the cordless design of automatic shades runs on motors that operate the window treatments at your command. It doesn’t matter whether the shades are in an accessible position or a hard-to-reach spot; all shades can be controlled simultaneously or individually using convenient control panels, mobile devices, and remotes. 

The control system allows you to pre-program the shades to raise or lower according to your routine, giving you hands-free control. Moreover, they can also help improve security, particularly when you’re not home. The shades scheduled to rise or lower at particular times can make it appear as though your home is occupied, even when it’s empty. 

Varying Levels of Privacy 

Many shading systems come with dual fabrics that allow you to control the level of privacy you want at home. The fabric with an open weave allows your home to be filled with natural light while still giving you a view of the outside. But when you want complete privacy, you can simply switch to the shade that blocks out all the outside view and light, allowing you to create a more private space, all with a press of a button. 

UV Protection

Sunlight brings in UV rays that can be harmful to your home’s furniture and artwork. Besides causing discoloration, UV rays can also cause the deterioration of textiles. But when you have motorized window treatments with UV-protective fabric, you can enjoy the perks of natural light without sustaining damage.
