1. Room Speakers (Earhquake) Products (7.2 surround setup)
2. Yamaha Receiver (7.2 Surround)

A few images of the room:
1. LG 50″ LCD with articulating arm so the display can move away from the wall or from side to side. Plans include the ability to increase the display size later. Yes the display looks off center because the display is pulled away from the wall, so when we shot the picture it favors the left side.
xLobbys new 15″ inwall touchscreen with annimated background and without the trim plate installed.
Inwall equipment rack + Panasonic webcam shown above with full pan, tilt, zoom. The glass shelves on each side will use multicolored L.E.D lighting to illuminate them, all of these products are control by xLobby. the shelfs will have various remotes, web tablets, automation items.
The videos shot are low quality, we will update the videos later to HD, with a proper narration of course.
