Get Pristine Sound throughout Your Property with Crestron’s New DM NAX Matrix/Amplifier
As you know, the world of audio/video entertainment has gone digital. Entertainment has evolved to take advantage of high-speed data delivery and distribution systems for both video and audio content. Crestron is the leader in digital distribution of high-quality sound and video throughout the home. The original DM (Digital Media) System from Crestron revolutionized the switching, distribution, and control of HDMI video/audio in both the commercial and residential worlds. Elite was right there installing one of the first systems of its kind. Traditional DM systems are now complimented with Crestron’s DM-NVX product line, delivering pristine 4K HDR video and audio over 1 GB data networks. This “video over IP” solution is highly flexible and scalable. Any video source at any display/TV at any time is a sure winner.

Make any Flat-Panel TV Blend Seamlessly with Your Decor
Once upon a time, many Missouri homes had built-in cabinetry to hold a TV. In some homes, the family room might have had a cabinet with pull-out doors to expose a 4:3 format tube TV. When rear-projection models became popular, spaces in a wall of cabinetry were carved out to accommodate those huge and heavy boxes.
Today’s TVs, of course, are thin, large flat panels that are completely different from the models of yore. With that new form factor has come completely different ways of locating a TV. They can be mounted on almost any wall or over a fireplace focal point with a little installation to hide the cabling. Today’s TVs are also much larger screen-wise than those of 15 years ago. Some style-conscious homeowners –and just about all interior designers in St. Louis – don't particularly like a huge 65-inch black screen on the wall when it's not on. But there is an elegant solution for the unsightly flat-panel on the wall with hidden TV services from Elite Technology Solutions. Elite has recently partnered with FrameMyTV to offer a design-friendly way to make the TV fit with your style and décor. See more below!

Josh.AI Is the Voice Assistant for Home Automation
Recently, we were excited to introduce you to Josh.ai, a different type of voice assistant to help you manage your smart home. Unlike other voice assistant platforms from major technology companies, Josh.ai was explicitly designed and engineered for home automation. Josh.ai doesn't need to answer history questions or solve math problems, so it can focus on understanding your commands, the context, and deftly executing your home automation wishes. And it does so with a level of privacy that is unprecedented in voice assistants.
Voice assistants are software-based, and their technology and features advance rapidly. We also integrate home voice control systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant into client systems, so you might wonder what Josh.ai can do differently in your Chesterfield, MO smart home? Let’s take a closer look.
