With dvLED, it is critical to know the " average " viewing distance
so the most effective pixel pitch can be quoted. Crimson's
goal was to provide the best overall value (quality and
price) for the Intelligent Living Solutions team. The biggest
challenge faced early on was the delivery date required by the
client. Due to the custom nature of LED displays, manufacturing
lead times for most displays are at best several weeks. The
timeline for this project was tight and the Intelligent Living
Solutions team didn't want the display to sit at the job site for
too long, fearing it might get damaged. The Crimson AV team
worked closely with the vendor and the Intelligent Living
Solutions team to coordinate the delivery so that it would be
on-site on the day of the installation. To make this happen,
Crimson AV brought the display to its warehouse in Illinois
and staged it, ready to ship once the word was given.
Precision, Clarity, Color Influence
dvLED Display Decision
While projection was a consideration, the integrator reports
that the project called for something unique. Ultimately a
dvLED solution from Crimson - a company that has more
of a history serving the commercial market - was deployed
for its immersive video qualities, value and appeal for luxury
homebuyers such as in this case. Intelligent Living Solutions
enlisted Crimson's LED Experts Group to provide the solution.
After a thorough evaluation of various display options,
they selected a 1.25mm Mini LED Display that could be
controlled by Loxone home automation as an ideal pairing.
These are key features of the display that made it an attractive
option in this project:
Large Screen Size: The display was customized to be
approximately 12 feet wide x 6.5 feet tall, making it an
impressive centerpiece for the theater.
Vivid Colors: The Mini LED technology provided rich,
vibrant colors and exceptional contrast, enhancing the
sports and streaming viewing experience.
Low Latency: To cater to watching live sports' fastpaced
action, the display featured minimal latency,
ensuring synchronized audio and video.
High Resolution: With a pixel pitch of 1.25mm, the Mini
LED display offered super sharp and crystal-clear visuals.
Crimson Mini LED Implementation
Involves Meeting Tight Timeline
The Crimson LED Experts Group employs a basic fact-finding
and needs analysis process. It begins with a deep understanding
of the objectives of the end user. This is followed by a determination
of the space available and size of display desired.

Close Collaboration Plays
Key Role in Project Success
Crimson's LED Expert Group worked closely with Intelligent
Living Solutions to seamlessly integrate the display into
the home theater. Meanwhile, the Loxone platform-powered
smart home is entirely automated, enabling effortless
control of the entertainment area with a single touch. The
owners can press the " Entertain " button, and the automation
system can create the ideal ambiance for a gathering.
It adjusts the lighting, activates the display, regulates the
temperature, manages the shades, and prepares the theater
seamlessly. " Luxury homebuyers want a home with highend
finishes, and this dvLED is a unique feature that most
people don't see in a residential application, " comments
Dan Killinger, owner at Intelligent Living Solutions, who also
worked closely with Andy Spolar of AWA Reps to make this
project a success. " As our first foray into dvLED, we appreciate
having Crimson's LED Experts Group walk us through
the LED buying process and for being very consultative to
achieve this spectacular project. "
