vAutomation™ Packages


vAutomation Design Examples
Easily design and spec new projects with VidaBox vAutomation's expandable designs

Why choose vAutomation packages?

Proper planning and design, starting from the very first meeting with a client, is essential for a successful installation. However, a thought out, comprehensive design can take up a tremendous amount of time and labor. The client may simply be looking for a ballpark quote, and unless s/he is paying for design services, it's difficult to spend the time to spec out the proper components.

Even with an integrated design for an installation's hardware, there is still a need to present the client with an interface which controls all of that hardware. Standard, "out of the box" interfaces are generally non-intuitive and require a learning curve - resulting in support calls and additional labor. Many integration products claim to offer customizability - but with serious, "show-stopper" limitations that can quickly turn a system that's supposed to be a convenience into a constant nuisance. Thus, being able to offer a truly customized interface is another essential goal of any integration project.

By choosing vAutomation packages, you can solve all of these problems by offering the most necessary features of any comprehensive installation - multiroom audio, home automation, and multizone video distribution - combined into a single, scalable design that's controllable via a customized interface.

Powerful, Scalable, Reliable Solutions

Using a predesigned solution doesn't mean that your offerings will be limited - in fact, you'll actually be able to offer more! Start by choosing from one of the many readily available designs that closest meets your project, and then add or take away the number of AV zones, automation components, etc.

By starting with a set of presentable schematics to a client, you can minimize time spent designing and maximize your time spent selling and installing complete home systems!

Pre-Tested for Reliability

Because these designs are pre-tested in real-world environments by VidaBox, you can be sure any unexpected installation challenges will only takes minutes to resolve - not days.

vAutomation in Action


VidaBox at EHX Spring 2008

Example 1: EHX Spring 2008 Demo Room
(Click to see picture gallery)

The goal at EHX Spring 2008 was to show a home integration example that would meet many of today’s typical smart-home requirements using Media Center technology. This integration example featured various VidaBox media centers, mControl from Embedded Automation for home automation and AV control, multizone audio software for control of the NuVo multi-room audio equipment, in-wall and wireless touch screen, and rack hardware to simplify management of Media Centers placed in the rack.
