When experts assemble this week to judge the "King of TVs", the products connecting those electronics must deliver the best quality and be completely dependable for an accurate contest. Metra Home Theater Group® (MHTG) is honored to once again connect the displays of the 2019 TV Shootout at CE Week with their products and HDMI® cables. It isn’t easy to put the best Ultra HD TVs on the market in a contest against each other, and not just in front of an audience, but a panel of experts, reviewers and calibrators from around the world. All the eyes of the AV world are watching every detail and judging its outcome.

Metra Home Theater Group® is excited to announce that Phoenix Marketing Group will be their representative firm in the southeast region of the United States. According to Phoenix Marketing Group’s Principal, Chris Gilray, “Our continued success is dependent upon our partnerships with our exceptional manufacturers, and with our loyal customers.” When asked about the new partnership, Gilray continued, "We are very proud to be a part of their team and represent the Metra Home Theater Group brand. The unique products and the array of custom installation products they have to offer complement our other product lines well and will help us in providing complete solutions for our customers."

The technical support and product development team from Metra Home Theater Group® (MHTG) will be live streaming short videos every other week to answer questions custom integrators are asking about home technology products. The topics will range from HDMI® to security surveillance integration, bulk wire, multimedia distribution, home audio and other technical issues seen in the field. The videos will stream live from Facebook and YouTube and be about 10-20 minutes in length, ending with an open question and answer session to discuss questions posted in the comments section. MHTG is planning to host these live videos every other Wednesday at 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time), starting July 3rd, 2019.

The Metra Home technical support and product development team discuss the top three things integrators need to know about upgrading to HDMI 2.1. They also unbox the CS-HDBTP2UK-70 HDBaseT extender to show you what comes in the box and how it works. This video also features questions asked by our viewers, which the tech team answers at the end. Stay tuned for the next live video webinar, every other Wednesday at 11am Eastern Time on the Metra Home Theater Group Facebook page: www.Facebook.com/EtherealHomeTheater
