Designing and Project Management How to plan for your ideal integrated home project. Here at DC Connections, LLC. cannot express enough when it comes to the designing phase. Planning and designing the wiring layout is the most critical. We can recommend and provide bulk wiring so the electrician or low volt tech do not have stock them. The final decisions on the electronics and speakers can be determined at a later time. In some circumstances you may have special applications like automated lifts and or LED lighting in cabinets and staircases. In these cases certain measures are taken prior for final installation. In addition, future proof as much as possible for the rough-in and adding conduit in key areas of your home. DC Connections, LLC. will provide you guidance and manage your project so we can relieve some stress that comes with these types of projects. We are able to provide designing & consultation within the United States through a remote process and welcome the opportunity to work with you. |

ISF Video & Audio Calibration If you haven’t done anything to your TV, a calibrator’s first job is usually ensuring the TV is set up correctly. This can include checking you have the right cables connected, that sources are outputting the correct resolution, and so on.

This includes correctly setting the Grey scale, Contrast, Brightness and other controls to make sure the TV is as bright as it should be for your viewing environment, and has the best black level possible without obscuring shadow detail. |
