14 Hidden Gems at CEDIA Expo 2009: Did You Miss Them?
Did you catch the 100-disc Blu-ray ripper, PetVac, $100 IP speaker, virtual remote control, Z-Wave flood sensors and other under-exposed products on the CEDIA show floor?
Sony, Crestron, SpeakerCraft, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, JVC, Lutron ... those and other top brands have been covered fairly extensively since CEDIA Expo 2009, where they all announced important new products.
But there were some gems on the show floor that integrators might have overlooked as they ogled the haptic remote from URC or the 3D images on multiple TVs.
We like to think we put Just Add Power on the map. They have a product that enables HDMI distribution over an IP network. Nearly 100 dealers have commented on that story.
We also took care of the sleeper SonarGuard, which claims to have "the only swimming pool security system in the world that can integrate with home automation."
And then there was the tiny section of the Philips booth, where Emulinx demo'd its AMX emulator for Pronto.
Now we've compiled even more CEDIA hidden gems.
