Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 1:13 PM
In the seminal 60’s movie ‘The Graduate’ our hero Ben Braddock, played by Dustin Hofmann, is approached by an individual who wants to impress a career path on the recent post grad with one word. “Plastics” he says, implying that it was the future. Well, we have another one for you ‘Distribution’, implying it is the essential backbone to any smart home.
Electronic House Magazine has awarded Crestron with two Products of the Year honors from CES for the Sonnex System and DigitalMedia Cable
It is very interesting to note that Crestron won with our distribution systems, the essential element in any home entertainment install. We have been providing audio and video distribution for nearly as long as the company has existed. Our newest offerings not only deliver high quality audio and video but control and data, all on one wire.
Sonnex
The remarkable Sonnex Multiroom Audio System won in the Mulitroom Audio category.
Sonnex Transmits 48 channels of audio and control over a single wire. Using localized expander units makes
retrofits easier and adding on to an existing Sonnex system a snap.
It is that straightforward folks, less wire, neater racks, and simple build = great multi room audio
Crestron DigitalMedia 8G cable
Crestron DigitalMedia 8G cable won best in the Structured Cabling Systems. As the backbone to the DigitalMedia solution our cables are made to our strict performance and construction requirements. This
attention to detail allows us to insure the highest quality distribution of analog, HD content, Ethernet, control and data over a single low cost copper wire. Crestron DigitalMedia is 3D/HD ready now and does not require signal compression or clunky repeaters.

"Crestron is proud to be recognized by Electronic House for our new generation of home technology products," said Crestron Director of Marketing, Vincent Bruno. “DigitalMedia 8G Cable and Sonnex Multiroom Audio System represent Crestron’s continued efforts to create cutting-edge products that move our industry forward.”
