That's Perfect...
Perfection is when technology meets your specific needs and the solution goes beyond your expectations. Thompson Electronics Company provides expert design to meet your video system needs and provide an extraordinary solution.

Expert Design

Successful systems realize the client's vision in a solution that gives innovative answers to the challenge. Capturing the client vision and committing it to paper is the key in system design. Our designs create simple to operate and easy to maintain systems. To accomplish expert design Thompson Electronics Company invest in hightly- trained individuals who specialize in key products and markets.

Design Process

The successful operation of a new A/V system is related directly to the quality of the installation. Thompson Electronics Company will assure quality installations of the highest caliber. A quality installation lowers life cycle costs by reducing the need for service calls or possibly premature product replacement and helps to guarantee the system operates to its full potential.

Some design considerations:

  • Projector selection - Measuring ambient light for proper projector selection
  • Calcuating throw distance based on projector mounting and location
  • Selecting appropriate display device
  • Calulating the proper screen size based on viewer distance and material being viewed

Installation Standards

Preparation

Before we begin the on-site installation, a great deal of work is done in our shop. Equipment racks are loaded and terminated, speaker clusters are assembled and painted, and digital processing equipment is programmed. Performing this work in a controlled environment assures the systems are assembled correctly and according to factory standards. Assembly in the shop also helps to reduce the amount of on-site work required. In doing so, the change-over-period to the new system is much shorter, reducing travel and overnight expenses.

Quality

Once assembled, electronics are tested and "burned-in." With many of today's electronic components, failure is most common in the first 24-48 hours of operation. The burn-in period allows us to catch potentially defective equipment prior to the on-site installation. This helps to assure successful operation of the system and a quality installation.

Experience and Knowledge

Key factors in assuring proper installation are compliance with standards and the training of installation staff.
