A home cinema can be based on a flatscreen TV or a projector screen. A projector-based cinema is normally the most cost-effective option once screen sizes start to exceed 65″ (measured diagonally), is easier to hide in a ceiling, and can provide as large an image as the dimensions of the room will allow. The quality of home cinema projectors is constantly improving and many can now produce very high-quality images.

On the other hand, where projectors require near darkness to work at full effect, a flatscreen can provide a good solution if this is not possible in a given space. Flatscreens are available in sizes of up to 103″ if required, while one-room lighting solutions can be installed to give you a complete cinema experience.

Our stable IP networks integrate technologies such as multiroom audio and the distribution of high definition, digital video signals to every flat screen location. IPTV, also known as video-on-demand, is available as an upgrade if you have sufficient internet bandwidth. Other home automation can also be attached to the network such as blind or curtain control, underfloor heating, or climate or lighting control, often through the same user-friendly control panels. By placing most of the network components centrally, this can reduce the need for duplicate equipment boxes in individual rooms.

TV installation

Fusion Systems’ technicians can install televisions, monitors, projectors, and video touch panels in any configuration or on any mounting surface safely and securely using: flat mounts, ceiling mounts, articulating mounts, rail mounts, or motorised mounts. We also sell and install a wide selection of displays and cabling. For more information, see the home cinema section.

Getting lighting ‘just right’ can take a lot of work. It plays a large part in how a home looks and feels, and is important in the process of developing a smart home control system. We can help you in the design and decision-making process with demonstrations, or we can work directly with interior designers or architects.

Fusion Systems’ lighting control systems have many benefits. For example an area’s appearance or mood can change instantly at the touch of a button by simply fading or dimming-down lights, while additional, subtle effects can be achieved using colour-changing functions, a feature popular in gardens and pool areas. Some additional benefits are outlined below; for the latest technologies, contact us for a free consultation.

By linking zones, multiple lights can be faded or dimmed-down instantly with one touch pre-sets. For example: a ‘welcome home’ setting can illuminate key areas upon entering your home at the touch of a button; a motion sensor can pick up movement to activate a light path in certain areas of the property, or; an ‘exit’ macro could turn off all lights in the house upon leaving, while leaving outdoor and selected interior lights on if required.

Thanks to low-level illumination during certain times — triggered via a keypad or motion sensor — getting up in the night needs not mean waking the whole house. Motion sensors can trigger lights for a predetermined time, while light sensors can trigger lights once the sun has set.
