Top 5 Reasons: Why You Need ALR Screen Technology

1. Ambient light will always be a part of the projection equation.
   Ambient light, natural (sunlight) or artificial (interior room lights), can come from any source in a room. In two-piece projection, the only light you want hitting the screen is from the projector. Screen surfaces featuring Ambient Light Rejection (ALR) properties can separate light in the environment from projected light.
2. Rooms aren’t so dark anymore.
   Current trends in construction and architecture are focused on open plan layouts that bring natural elements and energy-efficient alternatives like LED lighting without controlling or concealing all the desired light with dimmers or shades.
3. Dull, washed out images aren’t a good look.
   Ambient light that falls on a standard projection screen will compete with light from the projector and wash out image contrast, color saturation and dynamic range, affecting the viewing experience.
   Da-Lite’s Parallax® Family of Market-Leading Ambient Light Rejecting Screen Surfaces are designed to preserve high contrast images in the brightest of environments
4. The game has evolved. Has yours?
   You know you want to be the tech-forward professional! Expand your product portfolio and installation opportunities by offering screen technology that can handle oodles of ambient light.
5. Product technology continues to evolve. 
   Whether you’re looking for up to 16K ready technology or up to 16 feet (4.9 m) high seamless offerings, Da-Lite’s Parallax surfaces fit the bill.

Josh.ai Launches Groundbreaking Partnerships, Products, and Features Designed for Dealers at CEDIA Expo 2021

With Josh Nano and Josh Core coming soon, Josh.ai continues innovating its software while disrupting the industry with key partners.

Josh.ai, the leader in voice control and AI for the custom integration channel, is debuting a number of exciting updates for CEDIA Expo 2021. The company’s new features and enhancements, representing the culmination of feedback from its network of more than 700 certified dealers, will now be unveiled in webinars and virtual trainings throughout the fall to supplement the announcements.

Touchless Home Intercom:

Josh.ai is excited to announce that the industry's first touchless home intercom feature will launch this fall. With homeowners communicating to their Josh.ai systems everyday and adding more microphones in key areas of their homes, it was a natural next step to empower families to communicate directly with each other in their living spaces.

Kaleidescape Integration:

The initial Josh.ai and Kaleidescape integration will support Kaleidescape’s remote control navigation through Josh.ai’s voice and app remote interfaces. Accessing the Kaleidescape remote through Josh.ai will provide access to the trackpad for directional navigation, home and menu buttons, play and pause for content playback, and Strato users will be able to use the keyboard to type in search criteria.

Josh.ai Personality Enhancements:

In an effort to make speaking to Josh.ai more inclusive for users that have previously spoken to other smart assistants, the company has introduced a first of its kind dual wake word that will accept “Hey Josh” or “Ok Josh” to activate its far field microphones. The flexibility to speak more naturally, combined with advanced wake word sensitivity tuning, provides dealers with an even greater arsenal to optimize their client’s voice automation experiences.
