The heart of the entire system is the iDyl media server. The iDyl stores all the family's DVDs, CDs and digital photos on the network storage device and allows browsing of their entire collection on-screen with a very simple interface. (see DVD interface to the right)

Think of it as an iPod, but with a video interface and super high quality audio and video. This removes the headache of hunting for CDs and DVDs, only to find them scratched or the cases empty. The video "nodes" allow each room to watch different DVDs or listen to different CDs at the same time, or to play the same music throughout the whole property in party mode.

The stylish 32" Samsung LCD with piano black bezel in the kitchen provides stunning High Definition images. The iDyl interface is accessible in here as well as in the bedroom, again providing access to all the shared media stored in the lounge. The iDyl also has access to hundreds of internet radio stations and provides a simple video interface to enable you to browse through them.

The screen is mounted on a 'clever' 180 degree rotational bracket meaning that it can be swivelled to face the kitchen or breakfast room as required. When not in use the screen can be pushed back to sit flush against the wall.

Combining HD with high quality in-ceiling speakers produces some dazzling results. In the kitchen the speakers are positioned so as to ensure the best possible sound for those using the food preparation/ cooking area as well as for those seated at the dinner table.

The main hallway area was added as a subzone to the kitchen. This means that whatever the kitchen is playing, the hallway can also play, great for parties.

The master bedroom ensuite was also added as a subzone allowing the client to listen to the breakfast news in the mornings whilst using the bathroom, or to choose from the many different digital radio stations.
