As a leading provider of Home Theaters in the greater Atlanta area, the team at BRAVAS Atlanta prides themselves on keeping up with the latest trends. Our clients want the latest and greatest in their home technology and we are here to provide it for them. What's new in a home theater? Lots of things. The lines between a home theater and overall home technology are blurring more every day.  Instead of being a standalone system, the home theater of today is integrated with many elements of smart home technology. Here are some specific items we are seeing 

 

 

 

 

TVs and Blu-Ray with 3-D

Only two years ago 3-D in-home installations were mainly a curiosity.  In this short time span and thanks to a tremendous boost by the movie Avatar, 3-D has gained large public acceptance. Now, major manufacturers are producing more and more 3-D capable products, and producers of movies, television, and gaming are all creating more and more content.

Lampless LED Technology

One of the primary definitions of home theater has always been size.  Many professionals define home theater as beginning at 80 inches of screen size. It takes a lot of lamp power to put up images of this size and larger. Reproduction quality from top-quality projectors can be impressive, but the real news on the projector front is the development of LED "lampless" technology. High-intensity LEDs run cooler and are much more energy-efficient than traditional projector lamps, offer thousands of hours more of useful life, and easily provide the intense firepower needed to throw a clear, sharp image at a big screen.

Internet Streaming Capabilities

Internet content on a home theater is probably one of the biggest trends that BRAVAS Atlanta is seeing.  With these capabilities, you are no longer confined to your DVD collection. You can get news, weather, games, music, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter all on your oversized home screen. Internet enabled devices that we can integrate to your home screen include televisions, Blu-ray disc players, receivers, and gaming consoles, such as Wii, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.

Mobile Accessibility and Apps

As part of the advances in overall home technology, the home theater can now be a part of your smart home experience accessed via your mobile phone or tablet. Via mobile apps, the touchscreen on your mobile phone or pad can use Wi-Fi to communicate with a centralized home automation control system, which then sends infrared or other signals to your devices and equipment. You can check your security system, adjust your home's heating and cooling, and tee up your favorite movie. Later, from the comfort of your couch, you can use your mobile device as an all-in-one remote, switching between content sources, selecting programs, and adjusting the light level in your media room. Home theater technology is ever-evolving and you can rest assured when using BRAVAS Atlanta for your home theater or home technology needs that we will have information on the latest trends and products.
