Blue Echo Solutions announced today it has reduced the price of the award winning hd EZ lock, the patent pending Universal Locking HDMI Adapter by 25% to $14.95 a pair.

Lakewood, WA, November 05, 2009 — Blue Echo Solutions, Inc., the manufacturer of the patent pending hd EZ lock, announced today a 25% price reduction on its hd EZ lock
Universal Locking HDMI Cable Adapter. hd EZ lock, winner of a 2009 CES Innovations Award, is now available at a price of $14.95 for a pair. Dealer and Distributor pricing have also been reduced.

“Thanks to the support we’ve received from our early adopters, both on a retail and wholesale level, Blue Echo Solutions has been able to negotiate better manufacturing costs with our US Manufacturer, which has allowed us to pass the price savings on to our customers” says Tony Eppright, President of BlueEchoSolutions.

More and more HDMI Cable Manufacturers are beginning to address the issues with the HDMI Connection, namely a fragile HDMI Connector that can be damaged easily from stress, and a problem with HDMI Connections causing intermittent signal dropouts or becoming completely disconnected. Most of the solutions address the cable becoming disconnected, but many of them do nothing to address the damage that can be caused to an HDMI Component by the stress placed on the HDMI Input. hd EZ lock addresses both issues, by securing one’s HDMI Cable to prevent signal dropouts and disconnects caused by a loose HDMI Cable or loose connection, and by eliminating Stress on the HDMI Input by supporting the HDMI Cable from the component’s chassis.

In addition to this, most solutions available require the purchase of a specific brand of HDMI Cable. hd EZ lock is the only adapter available that secures the HDMI Cable and eliminate stress while using the HDMI Cable of choice, as hd EZ lock works universally with most HDMI Cables and HDMI Components on the market.

hd EZ lock typically installs in a couple of minutes or less, allows easy changing of HDMI Cables after installation, and is reusable if the HDMI Cables or Components are changed.

hd EZ lock has helped many of users to:

Eliminate Intermittent Signal dropouts due to a poor HDMI Connection
Remedy an intermittent Signal due to a fragile HDMI Connector by eliminating stress on the HDMI Input
Keep HDMI Cables from coming disconnected when moving components
Gain peace of mind in knowing that once an HDMI Connection is secured with hd EZ lock, there is no need to worry about damaging the HDMI Input or having to track down a problem HDMI Connection due to the physical connection

hd EZ lock™ is designed to work with most HDMI Cables on the market, and with most HDMI Components by using either the fixing screw above or below the HDMI Input, or with the supplied 3m Very High Bond (VHB) adhesive. hd EZ lock is designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA.

Shenzhen, Guangdong ( Prfriend ) September 12, 2009 – A new portable DVD player was launched earlier this week that ‘rips’ files while it plays, decimating the gap between the portable DVD player and the computer.

Previously, the portable DVD player was only something given to children to keep them quiet duirng a vacation, as they could do little more than play compact discs, DVDs and, occasionally, SD cards.

These limitations severely limited the marketability of the portable DVD, as most other devices had some form of data storage functionality.

According to Rose Li, the PR Manager for wholesale electronics supplier, Chinavasion, the limitation was so major that it was actually reducing the viability of portable DVDs in the long run.

“Laptops and netbooks are emerging now that cost just as much, if not less, than high-end portable DVD players,” according to Rose Li. “Why pay top dollar for something that can just play discs when somebody could get something that does a lot more for just a little more outlay?”

China Wholesale company Chinavasion has realized this. And, in an effort to extend the lifespan of the portable DVD, launched a portable DVD player line that can rip files from CDs and DVDs as well as play them..

This is a revolutionary new feature, according to Chinavasion’s Rose Li, and one that will makes the device relevant for today’s market.

“If people are travelling and someone likes a picture, movie clip or song that is being played on the portable DVD the person showing it can just make them a copy of those photos right then and there,” said Rose Li. “What else, besides a laptop, has that functionality?”

According to Chinavasion’s Rose Li the new portable DVD players had huge potential for photographers, account managers and all maner of people who need to share data but don’t want the expense of a laptop.

While some bigger brands might put a high price tag on such a function Rose Li said Chinavasion had made their line of portable DVD players with ripping functionality so affordable that anybody could buy one.

Even though these portable DVD players are on the bleeding edge Rose Li said with all portable DVDs going through a double QC process, coming with a 12 month warranty and in being shipped from China in up to 4 days there was no reason for people not to buy one.

“Chinavasion’s goal is to put the latest in technology from China in the hands of people everywhere.”

ROCKLEIGH, New Jersey — Crestron Electronics, Inc. today announced record breaking one-month sales for December 2008. Ironically, the day the U.S. government reports the worst jobless rate since 1945, and the day after President-elect Barack Obama urged Congress to take “dramatic action as soon as possible” to mitigate the length and severity of the recession, Crestron announces its best month in the company’s 40-year history.

Crestron, the global leader of advanced commercial and residential control and automation systems, has posted double-digit sales growth for 20 consecutive years. The New Jersey-based company’s fiscal year ended in June with annual revenue of more than $400 million. In December retail electronic sales suffered a double-digit decline and the U.S. manufacturing sector led job losses. At the same time, Crestron increased monthly sales by 26 percent over last December – on pace for another record breaking year.

“Our industry and our company are not recession-proof or immune to economic conditions,” explains Crestron Executive Vice President Randy Klein. “But Crestron is uniquely positioned to help our dealers and partners thrive even in these uncertain times. We have a responsibility to develop new technologies, get them to market and create more business opportunities.”

Crestron, which does all manufacturing in the U.S., introduced 70 new products in 2008 (plus 200 accessories), averaging a new product release every five days. The company has a remarkable 22 new products scheduled to launch this month alone, which is more than most manufacturers announce in an entire year. Further evidence of the positive effect Crestron has on the professional electronics industry is the 2008 Top 50 Systems Integrators listing, which was published by New Bay Media earlier this week. The report shows that the top installers did not experience a drop off in sales, and nine out of 10 were Crestron dealers.

The latest sales figures from Crestron are a testament to the four decades of innovation, vision and ingenuity of this American manufacturer.

ROCKLEIGH, NEW JERSEY — Crestron is pleased to announce Steve Samson as its new Director of Business and Market Development. Steve will be responsible for strategic partners (e.g. Microsoft, Cisco, Texas Instruments, Armstrong, etc.) strategic markets (e.g. Hospitality, Healthcare, etc.) and the Integrated Partner Program. Steve comes to Crestron from Tweeter where he served as Vice President of Systems Design and Engineering, and with more than twenty years of industry experience.

“Steve has a vast and wide array of experience and success in our industry,” says Randy Klein, Crestron Executive Vice President. “His skills and accomplishments will certainly be a great asset to our team.”

As Vice President at Tweeter for the last five years, Steve was responsible for creating the Go-To-Market strategies at the core of Tweeter’s solutions-based business, which included sales, installation, merchandizing, overseas manufacturing, store development and training initiatives.

Prior to joining Tweeter, Steve was Founder and President of Savi Technologies, a Florida-based custom design and installation firm for fifteen years. As an industry pioneer in both the residential and commercial markets, Steve was one of the first dealers to adopt the total systems integration concept, blending lighting control and security with high-performance whole house audio/video and home theater systems. Leveraging his engineering background, Steve developed strong, loyal relationships by providing valuable consultation and design services to retailers, manufacturers, architects and developers.

“I am extremely excited to join Crestron in this new role,” says Steve. “I look forward to working with Crestron’s world-class team and valued partners to continue propelling Creston ahead of the curve as the preeminent provider of complete control solutions.”

Steve can be reached at ssamson@crestron.com or 201-767-3400.
