As technology advances and becomes more available in the home with personal home theaters, we must continue to evolve to meet our customers’ desires and resolve the issues that are bound to arise. For both dealers and customers, HDMI matrixes represent one of the most creative solutions for home theater, but can also be one of the most expensive single item devices in a system. However, the investment in Ethereal’s matrix switches will be well worth it due to the added features we’ve designed into our products, providing a hot plug interrupt and additional setup options to avoid device incompatibility issues.

Metra Home Theater Group (MHTG) announces the release of its new Helios Smart Power Surge Protector and Conditioner at CES. This product includes a free mobile app that allows users to control outlets on the surge protector remotely. App users can conveniently turn devices plugged into the surge protector on and off and create schedules for power usage.
