Seymour-Screen Excellence, StormAudio, Ascendo Immersive Audio, Christie, Moovia, and Lumagen will present their home theater demonstration at CEDIA Expo 2024. This year’s demo features several new partners, a hybrid audio-over-IP system, and a larger sound room that accommodates three rows of seating.
Ascendo will feature its flagship Black Swans as screen channels and debut a radical new subwoofer design. The entire speaker system will demonstrate the unique advantages of professional-grade coaxial designs, delivering consistent timing and response symmetry to each of the 12 luxury Moovia seats.
Making for a hybrid AoIP 13.12.10 system, Ascendo’s new AoIP network-enabled amplifiers will drive the Black Swans and subs, digitally connecting via Cat6 Ethernet to StormAudio’s ISP Elite 32 Digital AoIP MK3, which will manage processing and calibration. StormAudio’s MK3 PA 8 Ultra amps are powering the Ascendo surrounds and top channels via a classic XLR configuration.
A CEDIA Expo-first, Seymour-Screen Excellence will demonstrate its commercial-grade Enlightor-PRO (0.9 gain) acoustically transparent screen surface, the screen choice of mastering studios worldwide. It will be mated to its 4-way Adjustable Ratio Theater (ART) Masking System at 13.5 feet wide. This combination brings reference-level audio and video performance at commercial cinema sizes (up to 550 inches) to residential and corporate screening rooms.
Illuminating the screen will be a Christie Griffyn 4K35-RGB projector. With attributes of 36,500 lumens, native 4K resolution, 98% of the Rec. 2020 color space, proprietary RGB pure laser illumination architecture, and energy-efficient and compact design, this powerful projector delivers a premium home theater experience.
Lumagen’s Radiance Pro 5244 will manage video processing. Key attributes include Dynamic Tone Mapping for High Dynamic Range content, customization features, and automatic source aspect selection — directly controlling the Seymour-Screen Excellence masking system.
Also new to the demo and US CEDIA channel is Moovia. The German seating manufacturer is featuring three rows of its luxury Marbella model.
Throughout the three-day event, industry experts Chris Seymour, Evan Zerby (Seymour-Screen Excellence), Olivier Thumerel, Sébastien Gailleton, Gary Blouse, Matthew Trinklein (StormAudio), Geoffrey Heinzel, Todd Sutherland (Ascendo Immersive Audio and Moovia), Jim Peterson (Lumagen), Andras Ratkai, Doug Boyer (Christie), and Brett Bjorkquist (MRKTMKR/FAQnatics) will be available to provide in-depth insights and engage with dealers, sales reps, and accompanying trades.
