CEDIA to Unveil All-New Future Technology Pavilion at EXPO

INDIANAPOLIS, July 13 /PRNewswire/ — The Custom Electronic Design &
Installation Association (CEDIA) will unveil its first-ever Future Technology
Pavilion at the annual CEDIA EXPO, to be held Sept. 22-26, 2010 in Atlanta. The
Future Technology Pavilion will showcase emerging trends and cutting-edge home
technologies that are expected to impact the electronic systems industry in
areas such as entertainment, sustainability and digital home health.

CEDIA’s Future Technology Pavilion will take attendees through a multi-room
exhibit, with each segment designed to resemble a separate room in the home. The
pavilion will feature a variety of product displays illustrating new and
emerging ways in which technology may be integrated into the home of tomorrow.
While some of the technologies on display may still be in development, the
Future Technology Pavilion will demonstrate how R&D labs and universities are
developing and integrating products to suit the needs of consumers moving
forward.

“The Future Technology Pavilion will give CEDIA EXPO attendees a glimpse at the
products and technologies that will be impacting the market in the months and
years to come,” said CEDIA CEO Utz Baldwin. “This showcase will help attendees
anticipate future opportunities for growth in this ever-changing industry.”

Each segment of the Future Technology Pavilion will feature technologies that
represent a particular trend in the future of residential electronic systems:

- Future of Entertainment (home theater) – This section will offer a worldwide
exclusive look at the integration of 3D, 9.1 surround sound and motion seating
in one setting. This room will include state-of-the-art acoustic and video
calibration to show the first truly immersive experience in a residential
environment.

- Sustainable Lifestyles/Energy Management (garage) – This section will
highlight how consumers can make their homes more environmentally friendly by
monitoring and reducing energy usage. Technologies will include ZigBee-enabled
circuit breakers, power monitoring technology and electric vehicle charging
stations.

- Digital Home Health (bedroom) – As baby-boomers continue to move into their
retirement years, the field of digital home health presents a growing
opportunity for electronic systems contractors. Technologies displayed in this
segment of the pavilion will integrate remote blood pressure monitoring, weight
monitoring sensors, a pulse/oxygen meter and more in a simple-to-use interface.

- Future of Communications (living room) – This segment of the pavilion will
display technologies focused on integrating communications platforms such as
social media and telepresence within home technology systems.

The Future Technology Pavilion will be open during tradeshow hours Thurs., Sept.
23 – Sun., Sept. 26. To complement the Future Technology Pavilion, CEDIA’s
Technology Council will also present four panel sessions, including HDMI Hot
Seat and Digital Home Health: What It Is and How It Affects Us All. The panels
will be led by experts in both technology and business.
