Mark's From the Ground up Cinema Build - Page 12

my friend brought in a Nikon D300 and a whole lot of camera set-up experience. I will ask him about the overlay process and see if I can relay it too you. I did catch the longer exposures were up to 20 seconds. Way past my understanding.

The room is about 18 x 26. And yes there are lots of hard surfaces in the room. If you notice I have these Acouztic EQ's...4 in total. Yes, they work in theory if you read about them check outhttp://www.veryimpressiveproducts.com/audio.html

scroll about half way down the page. I happen to have them on loan...at $2000 a pair retail they aren't cheap and I have two pair

Anyway we have experimented with them and they work. I do plan on adding some sound panels here and there soon. I have other projects going so I am taking a short break. In the mean time the system sounds awesome and I am quite impressed with the sound quality with my current set up.

Yes I noticed this as well. No it is not out of alignment...good eyes on your part. I am guessing when the multiple images were overlaid the screen got out of alignment. I am not satisfied with the screen image.....I need to find a good 16 x 9 image. We were quick to take these pictures so I did not have much time to get a more satisfactory image. This was the first dvd I pulled out of the pile.

Thank you!!, Electronic House is waiting on some photo's and I hope to find other takers. We have to get the photo's right first.

thank you, I can credit luck for the way it has turned out because I really didn't have much of a plan

He did take some other shots and is suppose to email them to me soon. I am going to share a bunch of pics because he took pictures of the inside of the house. thank you for asking

Ha, thats cute she checks up on you. The 10 year old son of the couple who bought our last house caught his dad on match.com. Come to find out dad had another identity and had 4 or 5 other relationships going on. Good thing your just checking out media rooms. thanks for hanging in there with me.

I love your Dysfunctional Family. I have been in one for years. Sorry I keep talking about getting these pictures but I really want them bad. We are very happy with the room. I am slowly pecking away at getting the cabling organized behind my equipment. The good news is it is easy to hook up the cables but when you walk in my equipment room the back of the racks hit you in the face to I am trying to make them pretty and I am having moderate success.

I finally received some of our photo's from the photographer on our home...........like 500 photos in all I am been going through them and have sorted out a few. Here are some photos of the theater and I am going to start uploading photos of the house over the next few days. I hope you enjoy them.

Photo of the back of our home near dusk.



This is a photo of the kitchen and breakfast area. To the left is the pantry door and you can see the 46" samsung LED TV. I have just mounted a iPad2 on the wall in the kitchen and I am training the wife to turn on the tv, run the sonos music system, and some other gadgets. I am using iRule for the TV and media room. I have cat 5 and 6 run to the back of all the tv's and I am in the middle of integrating all the video with a Cat5/6 to hdmi matrix system.

Brad, you are welcome anytime you want to visit. You have seen pictures of the garage and we lived in the garage apartment for almost two years while building our house. It is now the guest apartment for relatives, friends, and AVS Forum Members.

here is the kitchen in the garage apartment. It has a nice gas cooktop, convection microwave, dishwasher (under cooktop), and then on the far right is one of those drawer refrigerator/ freezer and it even has an ice maker.

Good eyes. My wife Mary has made our home very warm and inviting by adding a lot of personal stuff. As I upload more pictures you will see many photos and family memorabilia. Those glass tubes are called Cloche's. Wood bottom with glass cover and they are both engraved. One says "Boys and Their Toys" and it filled with 2 inch square boxes with pictures of cars I have owned throughout my lifetime. The other one says "Bang your Drum" and is filled with some of my old drum sticks which are wrapped in music paper.

StockMonkey is right about the brass mailboxes if this is what you are referring to........think they are called Hinman boxes. They were at our business and had not been used in over 25 years. Just another bit of family heritage.
