A home theater is designed to mimic or exceed the commercial theater experience. It doesnt matter if you have a dedicated room with drop-down screen and custom seating or are relying on your family room television, you can create a home theater experience that will be the envy of all your friends. There are four major components to a home theater: visual, audio, environmental, and control. The Visual aspect of your home theater is the screen size and location. Obviously this is what you see when you sit down to enjoy your theater. Will you be using a television or a projector? Does your room have windows or is it completely blacked out? The screen is the most visible part of the job and the most difficult one to fix if you get it wrong. The Audio aspect of your home theater is what makes a movie or sporting event come alive. Do you want Dolby 7.1 surround sound or Atmos Cinema Sound? How many channels of audio do you need? How does the subwoofer enhance the side speakers? Soundtracks for movies and television is more than just dialogue. Subtle sound effects like the rain falling, dynamic explosions in a battle sequence, and the dynamic range of a concert setting all have unique sound requirements. Picking the right audio system adds the wow factor to your experience. The Environmental part of your theater is much more subtle, but equally important. What kind of seating will you use? Do you want to have custom lighting to enhance the room? How important is soundproofing to buffer your theater from a nearby bedroom or den? There are many environmental adjustments that make a movie experience more enjoyable, and these are typically the special touches that make your home theater surpass the commercial movie theater on Main Street. Control brings the entire home theater experience together. Your home theater system is filled with complex equipment that must seamlessly work together. The control system simplifies the interaction of all your equipment into one easy to use remote. Whether you have a unified remote or an automation system, the controls will bring your home theater to life. Lewis Audio Video specializes in bringing the movie theater experience into your home. Talk with one of our customization specialist to bring Hollywood to your living room.

Standard HDMI to Standard HDMI. About HDMI 2.0The HDMI standard was created to transfer uncompressed digital audio and video. HDMI cables many internal conductors include communication channels, which allow automatic display and source matching for resolution, format and aspect ratio. Standard Speed HDMI cable will, at-minimum, transfer 1080i, 720p, 1080p30Hz source material.High Speed HDMI cable will, in addition, transfer 1080p120Hz, 4K, 3D video.With Ethernet HDMI cable (with HEC) includes conductors for bi-directional Ethernet communication. Ethernet capability is independent of Speed capability.SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Slinkys solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding loss without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance.

Forest HDMI embodies all of AudioQuests core philosophies on cable design. Forest employs solid Long-Grain Copper conductors, Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation, and precise signal geometry. Specific attention has been paid to maximizing the performance of HDMI, and indeed, AudioQuests HDMI cables push sonic performance to new levels. SOLID 0.5% SILVER CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like HDMI audio and video. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality HDMI cables. FOAMED-POLYETHYLENE INSULATION: Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Forest HDMI uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials. HIGH SPEED DATA CAPACITY: HDMI standards and capabilities have improved significantly since DVI first evolved into HDMI. All generations are backward compatible. However, not all previous HDMI cables can transmit the full 18Gbps of data required to optimize todays HDMI 2.0 equipment. While there is currently no 4K60 4:4:4 software requiring the full 18Gbps capability of HDMI 2.0, some sources (UHD Blu-ray players) can be set to upsample, requiring 18Gbps capability. (Upsampling often should be done in the TV rather than in a previous component but thats your decision.) The most important thing to know and understand is that all AudioQuest HDMI cables up to 8 meters are guaranteed to exceed the requirements for all possible HDMI 2.0HDCP 2.2 data streams, including 4K UltraHD, HDR, and Blu-ray Ultra HD.
