Overview:
Music enhances the mood to exercise longer and harder so, what can be as good and comfortable as the Home Gym with Two Audio/Video Systems. This system has an access to a wide range of music which pulls high-def video into the space and can view it on either of two 55- inch Samsung LED LCD displays. The two audio systems are fixed to the wall directly across from his/hers ‘Life Fitness treadmills’ and the TVs are connected to a Control4 house wide video distribution system that allows each TV to pull content from a rack of components stored in a nearby utility room. There are his and her cable boxes, a DVD player and a server that controls real-time and recorded video that are captured by a host of surveillance cameras located well at the front door, driveway and back yard.
Hi-tech Features:
The system has introduced hi-tech features as it allows the owners to use a handheld Control4 remote to view a list of video options on either or on both TV screens. The user can navigate the menu, enter their choice while choosing the same program, while giving a blast to the audio through the room’s two in-ceiling TruAudio speakers. They may hear the audio from only their TV by a pair of wireless headphones.
The homeowners prefer to choose the same source that is the online music service, Rhapsody which provides thousands of song including classical and contemporary to hard rock and holiday tunes. They can be easily streamed to the speakers both in the workout area and other areas. A feature is also added to reorganize the selection process by creating a playlist of the user’s choice and also their favorite upbeat tunes. For instance, if Lady Gaga is a favorite, so there’s a playlist for that too. Playlists can be viewed and selected by the Control4 remote on-screen menu.
The Upside: Discuss the advantages of the product and what makes it stand apart out
It’s a unique product which stands apart from the other music systems. It can be well placed in the corner of the lower-level as the gym is supposed to be a free place from distractions while the owner focuses on getting in the right miles and reps to stay fit. Other added advantages are that the owner can hit the camera button to check the other places in the house and view from all eight cameras at once. Lastly, the Control4 system flashes the lights when the doorbell rings, so they never miss an important visitor or delivery.
