This is the time of year when anticipation tends to get everyone excited and here at The Big Picture we are no different. We’re excited about the new projects we’ve been working on and our latest project is this monthly newsletter, the State of Integration. Here I’ll be sharing with you the latest in home integration and automation solutions.
Each month the newsletter will feature a new product. In our world of technology, things are constantly changing and becoming available and it’s my goal to help you sort out those solutions to keep your home running smoothly.
Most recently, I’ve been doing some updates in my own home. Last month I added two new video server products, the Intelligent Media Client, or IMC as it’s more commonly known, by ReQuest and VUDU. Together these two video server products combine quality and ease of use to give you the best of both worlds.

The IMC is an exciting new technology that is an expandable media platform for music, video, photos and online content like YouTube. It’s the ultimate in DVD management. I’ve been able to eliminate the clutter of having to store DVD cases and with a few easy steps on my touch-panel, the movies I already own are stored and ready to watch anytime, within minutes.
The IMC is a perfect fit for anyone who already has audio ReQuest. It brings your media system into the 21st century by adding multi-room and even multi-home video capability. IMC allows you to watch your favorite action drama in the theater while the kids watch their favorite Disney movie in the family room. You can easily password protect any video, giving you complete control over what the kids watch.
VUDU is the perfect partner technology for renting or purchasing all of your new video content. No longer is it necessary for you to run to your favorite video store to pick up the week’s new releases. With VUDU you have instant access to over 10,000 movies and TV titles from all Hollywood studios and leading independent distributors. It’s like having your favorite video store right in your home. I’ve been having a great time exploring the possibilities that the IMC and VUDU provide and I’m excited to bring you this technology.
