On Friday, April 27th, the Upper Blue PTA hosted the 8th Annual UBE Evening with the Arts event. This fundraiser supports many school programs including classroom field trip support, teacher professional development programs, classroom supplies, and additional school-wide enrichment.

Mountain Multi-Vision and Sound was able to donate to this important event with multiple items such as Sony Internet TV, Sony Noise Canceling Headphones, earbuds, and more! We are very thankful to have been able to be a part of such a great fundraiser!

After a very mild and dry early season we are finally seeing some snow accumulation here in Summit County and everyone is super pumped!!!  Come visit Breckenridge and enjoy some of our recent fresh snow!!  After some stellar runs come visit us at Mountain Multi-vision and Sound and chill in front of the 5 flat screen TVs or check out our theatre room!

To finally be able to sit down and relax after clocking in five or so miles of lugging a 10-pound computer bag on my shoulder is a treat. I can thank DPI, D-Box, andKaleidescape for ending my second day at the show on such a great note. This trio of companies collaborated on home theater demonstration that knocked my socks off, but without any of the pushing, shoving, walking, standing and waiting that pretty much characterized my overall CES experience this year.

The DPI demo was thankfully scheduled as my last exhibitor visit of the day. Because once I sunk down into at CinemaTech chair, I wasn’t getting up. In addition to adding motion simulation to a movie (thanks to D-Box), these roomy, reclining leather chairs were super comfy. The room was nice and quiet, too … until Eric Larsen from Kaleidescape took the mic. He welcomed the half-dozen or so of us to the show, and told us what we could expect to see, hear and experience in a way that the best comedians on the Las Vegas strip would have a hard time delivering with as much humor. This guy’s schtick was hilarious (but informative), and just as entertaining as the product demo itself.

Products showcased in the demo were DPI’s 3-chip Titan Reference 1080p 3D projector, D-Box’s motion-encoded seating and Kaleidescape’s newest media server, the 1U and M700 Disc Vault. Products from ADA (audio processors), CinemaTech (the seats), Crestron (control), Stewart Filmscreen (14-foot display) and Totem Acoustic(speakers) also played a part.

To give the audience a good sense of what this particular setup could do, we viewed 1-2 minute clips from four very different movies. All four, as well as a slew of other choices, were stored on the hard drive of the Kaleidescape server, the menu of which could be (and was) displayed on the screen and navigated by the Crestron touchpanel. The first clip, a scene from Monster House, to demonstrate the system’s ability to handle animation: A+. Next up, a live video of Jeff Beck: Performing This Week: I Felt as if I was at the concert. Third, Star Wars—The Empire Strikes Back: Cool.  It wasn’t until the fourth and last clip, from Fast Five, that the D-Box motion simulators planted underneath the seats kicked in. The effect was subtle—not as jarring as I had expected—but enough to give you a sense of moving along with the action of the movie. Disappointed doesn’t begin to explain how I felt when the show stopped at the lights switched back on. I really, truly, didn’t want to leave. I’d battle the CES crowds again in a heartbeat to get a seat in that demo room.

In a recent windstorm in Breckenridge, CO the KBCO radio tower was completely blown down.  The top wind speed recorded during the storm was 125mph!  Mountain Multi-vision and Sound owner Colin Scollard took his snowmobile to the top of Mount Baldy to check out the damage and recommend how to repair the tower.
