Airzone Aidoo PRO Inverter/VRF Controller
Inverter/VRF HVAC units operate continuously, varying their output to maintain a constant temperature. This results in massive energy savings compared to traditional HVAC systems, which must ramp up to full speed when adjusting the temperature. When paired with a smart thermostat or home automation system, however, all an inverter unit’s promised energy savings disappear.
The Airzone Aidoo Pro is a system add-on that sits between the HVAC system and IoT control devices. Airzone has assembled an exclusive library of manufacturer-certified HVAC protocols such as Daikin, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and LG, enabling the Aidoo Pro to integrate HVAC inverter systems with device APIs from smart thermostats like ecobee, Honeywell, and Nest, as well as home automation platforms including Control4, Crestron, ELAN, Lutron, and Savant. The Aidoo Pro receives control data via API, interprets it, and then sends the appropriate commands to the inverter unit via manufacturer-certified protocol, providing two-way communication between devices, preserving all inverter features, and providing unparalleled levels of efficiency, energy savings, and comfort.

Blackwire Designs Blacklight Design Tool
Designing and specifying linear lighting is a difficult process that can be very prone to errors without the proper tools. The market is flooded with many different products, all with different features designers must account for — various AC or DC voltages, different watts per foot, and special control requirements such as DMX. Blackwire’s new Blacklight Design Tool is the only comprehensive design software for linear LED lighting on the market that enables any dealer to visually design an entire linear lighting system with just a few clicks.
After importing a floorplan of the installation site, Blacklight allows dealers to simply draw out each fixture and then quickly and easily lay out, configure, price, and submit a purchase order for the custom lighting system design. Incredibly user-friendly, Blacklight calculates all the necessary equipment needed, from the tape LED strips, to the extrusions and lens covers, to the wiring, to the controls, all the way down to the mounting hardware and accessories. Further eliminating guesswork and limiting human error, the tool manages all the electrical calculations for wattage, tape length, voltage drop, gauge for supply wiring, power supply amounts, and load capacity for the connected control devices. The tool has built-in error correction to catch any mistakes. Once completed, Blacklight creates installation reports — including highly detailed, comprehensive breakdowns of each fixture and job-specific cut and length details and wiring information. A PDF export of the report can be automatically combined with manufacturer spec sheets for every product used on the job with one click.

Draper At Home Gabled Bottom-Up FlexShade
What do you do when you have an angled window that requires interior shading? The Gabled Bottom-Up FlexShade is the innovative Draper at Home alternative to using a static fabric panel or a rectangular roller shade that overlaps the window. This solution can be sill-mounted in the window and handle angles up to 45 degrees in either direction.
The shade panel is kept under constant tension by tiny cables. Draper uses a .06-inch (1.5 mm) low-stretch, high fatigue cable with a polyester jacket. One end is attached to tensioned spring boxes and the other to a flexible hem bar. The flexible hem bar wraps around the roller along with the fabric, allowing complete retraction of the shade. Fabric tracking adjustment is built into the idler endcap. It’s a simple two-part process to adjust the tracking of the fabric panel so it always looks perfectly straight.
DreamScreen UltraWeave Studio X1
The new Studio X1-series, DreamScreen’s eighth generation of screen fabrics, uses three layers in total, featuring a new refined primary woven layer with even higher density than ever before. This means the light-reflection as well as sharpness increases even further. The secondary knitted layer has also been updated and modified to reflect even more light while still remaining highly audio acoustically-transparent. Our final third black backing layer makes sure contrast remains the best possible while keeping reflections from speaker drivers and other items located behind the screen invisible for the viewer. All layers are perfectly factory bonded to make sure no distance between the various layers reduce the reflected sharpness. In addition to our unique combination of image- and audio-performance, we place a great emphasis on colour neutrality. Our screens are completely D65 neutral, maintaining as much light as possible from your projector after calibration.

Future Automation Unichannel
UniChannel is a modular system to simplify the installation of hidden motorized shades . It combines a wooden carcass with extruded aluminum side trim profile to create a more flexible, installation-friendly, and cost-effective pocket shading system. Traditional pocket shade systems are typically formed entirely out of extruded aluminum, meaning installers need to construct a pocket inside the ceiling to attach the aluminum shell into. This process adds additional cost and time to projects. UniChannel eliminates the need for this costly aluminum channel by integrating it directly into the MDF carcass that contractors would already be building in the ceiling void. This lower-cost alternative simplifies the process of installing window shades inside a ceiling.
UniChannel is available in three sizes for single, dual-stacked, or dual-side-by-side shade installations. This gives you the option to combine multiple shade fabrics (such as sheer and dimout) inside a single pocket. All models feature plaster-over flanges to make it simple to create a neat pocket that blends seamlessly into your ceiling.

Hunter Douglas Aura Illuminated Shades
Hunter Douglas Aura Illuminated Shades define a new category of shading products — a three-in-one architectural and decorative shade that allows homeowners to merge natural and artificial lighting control. Aura Illuminated Shades feature a textured front shade; a room darkening liner; and ambient illumination. Aura’s innovative design incorporates fully programmable LED strips that are transparent when not in use and provide mood-enhancing illumination when lit, recreating the same soft-light-magic translucent window coverings have in the daylight. With Aura shades, homeowners can enjoy daylight on demand and gain complete control of their rooms’ ambiance — whether inviting a warm glow on a gloomy day or extending their daylight through energizing illumination. Aura can mimic daylight with artificial lighting and optimize natural light.
Aura shades utilize a parabolic reflector to spread the light and then shine it onto a specially designed reflective fabric liner that keeps the light bouncing around, all the way to the bottom of a 10-foot-high shade. Conversely, a diffuser at the top prevents hot spots close to the LEDs. The LED color temperature is highly customizable, ranging from 2200K to 6500K. Additionally, brightness can be precisely controlled from 0 to 100 percent. The result is a very close mimicry of actual daylight shining through a traditional fabric shade.

With the new ARC feature from Just Add Power, installers can easily send audio from a TV connected to a MaxColor 2 receiver across the network to another MaxColor 2 receiver — connected to an audio-video receiver or another ARC-enabled amplifier — making project design even easier and more flexible. Its ARC and USB features make it ideal for home office, gaming, or a Twitch streaming setup.
Just Video Walls Spec Series Pre-Configured MicroLED Systems
The Spec Series of MicroLED systems is one way that Just Video Walls takes the guesswork and learning curve out of specifying MicroLED systems. With over 80 pre-configured systems to choose from in a wide array of sizes and aspect ratios, dealers can deploy a suite of vetted options into their project pipeline.
Dealers currently only have 16:9 “TV boxes” to sell as standardized sizes for MicroLED displays in either 2K or 4K resolutions. The Spec Series moves the conversation away from resolution and standard TV aspect ratios toward system experience and detail. Resolution is a factor, but only so far that the pixels are actually visible, a core-focus of the Spec Series approach to MicroLED specification.
This systemized approach allows dealers who are new to MicroLED a simple entry point into the category. While both new and experienced dealers can take advantage of its reliable and repeatable results. The Spec MicroLED series is a standardized, yet still an option rich MicroLED solution, vitally important for streamlining the design, installation, and service process.

Planar Luminate Ultra Series Fine Pitch Outdoor LED Video Wall
The Planar Luminate Ultra Series line of fine pitch, high bright outdoor LED video wall displays is designed to bring to outdoor environments the same level of image detail historically reserved for indoor spaces. Featuring models in 1.2, 1.5, and 1.9 millimeter pixel pitches, including the finest outdoor pixel pitch LED available, and up to 3500-nit brightness, the Planar Luminate Ultra Series supports comfortable viewing from as close as seven feet and ensures visibility even in direct sunlight. This makes the solution perfectly suited for any situation where outdoor, close viewing, and more detailed content is used, including rooftop terraces and poolside cinema. The series also features advanced LED technology that delivers more light with no reflection, in addition to using less power.
The Planar Luminate Ultra Series delivers the finest outdoor pixel pitch (1.2 millimeters) by using MicroLED technology to enhance the image with increased black levels and 160-degree visibility.

Portal.io Portal’s 2023 Updates
At Portal, the team of developers works in one-week sprints, which means almost every week there is something new or improved in Portal. Here are a few new key features:
Improved QBO Integration — Pushing a Proposal that you built and won in Portal into QuickBooks for accounting is as easy as pressing a button. Additionally, our new updates give dealers more flexibility and control, like being able to edit items and add prefixes before they are created in QuickBooks, making it easy to search existing QuickBooks item and customer lists to find the correct match, and having more control over item types and fields before items are created in QuickBooks. This means less time in QuickBooks cleaning things up, and more time focused on winning jobs and getting paid.
QBO Payments Integration — Portal launched its Payments functionality last year, which included Payment Processing through an integration to Stripe. However, many dealers get paid faster with Quickbooks Online (QBO) and some have better rates, so Portal integrated directly into QBO Payments. When the customer signs and accepts the proposal digitally, Portal auto-calculates the amount due for the deposit and presents the customer with Payment options. The ACH and Credit Card payment options now can be connected to the dealer’s existing QuickBooks Online payment processing account, with the added benefit of being able to charge a convenience fee for the credit card processing, which you can not do in QuickBooks. No more chasing customers for deposits after-the-fact or sending payment requests from inside QuickBooks.
PSB Speakers Alpha IQ
A simplified approach to audio, the Alpha iQ come equipped with a built-in digital amplifier and BluOS streaming so you can access and control everything from streaming services and digital music collections to EQ settings and multi-room speaker management. A versatile addition to any home audio system, whether in a stereo set-up, home theatre, TV speaker or as bookshelf speakers.
PSB’s Alpha iQ speakers feature a 4inch polypropylene mid-bass driver and 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter with neodymium magnet and ferrofluid damping. Thanks to powerful amplifiers, tuned bass ports, and a DSP-enabled low-frequency extension, the Alpha iQ reveal the signature sound of PSB while delivering a bass output that completely belies their diminutive size.

The modular design features detachable Tx and Rx modules, making it possible to fish the pure optical fiber cable through conduit and other narrow openings with ease before terminating at the desired endpoints. While the cable itself is narrow and flexible, the durable fiber housing and dust-proof connectors withstand moisture, heat and other harsh environmental conditions to ensure years of trouble-free use.
Quantum Media Systems XDR3 LED Video Wall
The XDR3 is in a league of its own, as one of the first LED video walls developed specifically for residential applications rather than commercial projects. The XDR 3 LED Wall has been optimized for the presentation of content typically consumed by homeowners: 4K High Dynamic Range movies and streaming video, fast-action video games, high-res digital art, and multi-window sports viewing and video conferencing. The alters the dimension of its viewing surface to the most appropriate format based on the content selected, be it 2.39:1 Cinemascope, 2.0:1, 1.85:1, or 16:9 4K HD.
Another key differentiator is the ease by which the XDR3 Video Wall can be integrated into a smart home ecosystem. Its internal processors enable interoperability with many leading home control platforms, including Crestron, Crestron Home, Control4 and Savant. Unlike most brands of LED Video Walls, the XDR3 looks and performs beautifully in any home environment.
