Pompano Beach, FL (December 10, 2006) – Vutec’s ArtScreen SoundScape 360 was named the winner in the MRAV awards – the Multi-Room Audio Video Awards – by the Consumer Electronics Association, at the Autumn EH EXPO in Long Beach California. Soundscape 360 had already been named a 2006 Product of the Year by the editors of Electronic House.

“According to the CEA, ownership of LCD and Plasma televisions in all sizes has reached 25% of US households,” said Kevin R. Baisley, Vutec’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Many of those video display owners will want to integrate their video displays with their home’s interior design, especially since the average HDTV now measures 42 inches. SoundScape 360 provides consumers with a multi-room solution by turning any type and size of video display into a distinct work art with the touch of a remote.”

Vutec introduced SoundScape 360, a flat screen masking system, in response to the new surround sound technology developed by major audio manufacturers such as Boston Acoustics, Mirage, Polk Audio, and Yamaha. The new surround sound technology delivers a five-channel sound field from a single horizontal speaker instead of the current system of hard-wired, multiple speakers.

The ArtScreen masking system incorporates a hardwood frame and retractable screen with a digital art-on-canvas print to create a technologically advanced masking system for Plasma and LCD televisions and video projection screens. When the artwork is retracted, the screen is visible for projection or television viewing within the frame. When the television is not in use, a reproduction of art or photography is displayed within the frame.

Integrated into the ArtScreen housing, SoundScape 360 features a fully dimensional sound compartment that can be positioned above or below the video display, which meets all existing manufacturer’s specifications. The new framed art dimension also expands image flexibility to accommodate a greater variety of portraits and other vertically proportioned artwork.

Vutec also offers an option for recessing the video display into the wall, keeping only the framed SoundScape 360 at the wall surface.

Available frame styles, liners, and images for reproduction can be viewed at www.vutec.com/artscreen/. Custom artwork, such as family photography or corporate logos, can also be reproduced. SoundScape 360 comes with an IR remote, while RF, RS-232 and IP-enabled controls are optional. MSRP is $4,750 and up, depending on size, frame style (four categories available), and mounting configuration (two options available).
