HomeToys.com introduces AVSystemsMag, a newly designed and focused eMagazine.

The eMagazine offers a blend of News, Articles and Interviews from the Residential & Commercial Audio, Video, Automation & Digital Signage Industries.

San Diego, California, November 1st, 2012 - HomeToys.com, a leading Commercial and Residential AV, Automation & Digital Signage Industry Portal, went live today with a freshly revamped eMagazine featuring a blend of AV & Automation Industry News, Articles and Interviews combined with insight into the trends and breakthroughs with potential to affect related business & lifestyle.


Over the past 16 years, HomeToys.com has evolved from a primary focus on Home Technologies to become a leading trade publication covering all facets of the AV, Automation & Digital Signage Industries. The revamping of the eMagazine is a result of that progression. HomeToys founder and chief editor Bob Hetherington had this to say about the revamp - "We've always been looking ahead to the next industry breakthroughs with our publications. In 1996 HomeToys led the way into online publishing with its eMagazine about the Home Technology industry. Over the last few years Commercial AV and Automation as well as Digital Signage has seen tremendous growth and we felt like this topic now warranted a bigger presence on the HomeToys site."

Now, the readers of HomeToys.com and subscribers to the eNewsletter (who generally tend to be AV industry professionals) will see an even greater emphasis on these industry segments combined with the usual home technology trends. "This added direction will allow us to bring more news, articles, interviews and case studies to our 16 year library of archived content making HomeToys.com a premier resource for AV Industry pros."

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
