She Said YES! A Very Crestron Proposal

Marriage proposal made via Crestron distribution system and touch panel 

We found this video today that intrigued and made us smile.  Really smile wide.

 

Ilya Kandibur of Superior AV systems proposed to his long time girlfriend with some creativity, humor and just a bit of help from his Crestron system.

Ilya takes it from here:

I am a Crestron dealer out of Southern California , so I was lucky enough to have the kind of equipment available in our home to pull it off. We have a demonstration theater upstairs as well as a 12" video panel downstairs in the kitchen area. My girlfriend was celebrating her 33rd birthday at the house and it was a pretty large party (about 30 people orso) with a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" theme. Part of the event was watching that film in our theater. 

I put together the video well in advance and programmed the 8X in the theater and the TPS5K panel downstairs to run the show. The DVD player has a video feed into the downstairs panel so I could control and monitor without being in the room with them. Once I executed the code it stopped their movie and switched over to my video I prepared. I knew not everyone would want to watch the movie upstairs, so the rest of us all gathered downstairs around the panel and watched the same video unfold with the audio coming from the ceiling speakers courtesy of the PAD8. 

Once I popped the question and everyone went nuts, I paused the video and used another button that took the 8X in the theater out of standby, raised the lights and changed to the page with the marriage proposal question. I had live feedback for when she pressed YES on the panel which I could see downstairs, which then continued the video. After that it was pretty much getting our dog to run into the room in sync with when it happened in the video and then I walked in shortly afterward.

Electronic Home Magazine Awards Crestron Product of Year at CES

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 showing the DigitalMedia system at the HDBaseT Home pavilion, if you are attending, stop by HDBaseT™ Whole-Home Demonstration

"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.”
