    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    I use the Halo Touch and like it. When I researched it the consensus seemed to be other than cable boxes, most installations will probably be better with the Halo Touch. The Halo Touch works really nicely with the Control4 Custom Buttons agent, to create touch buttons each of which suppers...

    Tons of missing trailers on the web store

    Trailers have been pretty poor overall. In many cases they are not a true trailer, in other cases they are a low resolution trailer, in other cases there is no trailer. Of course many times the trailer is also fine. It seems random and very hit or miss.

    New Kscape Products

    3,000 program/erase cycles per erase block is still pretty typical (and erase block sizes are tiny compared to movie size)- so I am guessing that will not be too much of a problem with a proper design. Fun fact - most modern managed flash chips have a mode where you can give up something like...

    New Kscape Products

    Well....I am very grumpy as I just received a new Terra 48 TB on Friday ... and it is not a Prime.

    HDR Vs UHD for JVC Projectors

    My own experience with the JVC DLA-NX9 is that HDR movies look great with the built-in tone mapping.

    Audiocontrol amps?

    I use the AudioControl Director Matrix 6800 for whole house audio and have been very happy with the product.

    What control system do you recommend? Control4 vs Savant or Creston?

    I use Control4 and am very happy with it. It easily integrates to standard iPads and is very modular. I do prefer their SR-260 remote even though it is older (much better battery life and easier to use). The UI is easy and intuitive.

    Creating new scripts

    I am able to access the scripts UI from <IP Address>/scripts, such as http://192.168.10.39/scripts.

    Collections - sharing/hiding

    Another variant on these ideas is to "hide" a movie for a period of time and have a filter to include or exclude hidden movies. Say you watch a film and know you don't want to watch it again for at least a year (even if a friend selects it). Hide it for one year - after which it pops back into...

    Projector & Strato Set Up

    That amount of time seems pretty normal. Believe it or not - most JVC owners are happy with this time as it is much better than previous generations :)

    Projector & Strato Set Up

    I just ran the JVC firmware update - went smoothly. I am another with a similar setup - Kaleidescape Strato > Marantz AV8805 > JVC NX9. Most people have been recommending changing the JVC HDR Level from Auto (default) to Medium or High.

    4K Player

    Up until very recently the Blu-ray player that was recommended for the JVC NX7 was the Panasonic DP-UB9000 (or in some cases the DP-UB820). These have special features for working with projectors and specifically for the JVC NX5/7/9 (for better HDR pictures). With the upcoming firmware upgrade...

    Projector Recommendation

    Check out the NX5 as well. The NX7 just increased in price making the NX5 an even better deal (comparatively). As I recall the main improvements with the NX7 are an additional 100 lumens of brightness (that is not a lot), a wider color gamut (HDR color filter for 100% DCI; cuts 10% of light with...
