Quantum Media Systems Sets New Pixel Pitch Benchmark with Industry-First 0.7mm LED Panels for Luxury Residential Video Walls

Unveiled at CEDIA Expo, Quantum’s new ultra-fine-pitch LED panels bring native 8K clarity closer than ever for high-end home theaters.

LOS ANGELES, CA – August 31, 2025 — Continuing its tradition of redefining the boundaries of video wall performance, Quantum Media Systems announces a major breakthrough in fine-pitch LED technology with the introduction of an ultra-fine 0.7mm pixel pitch for its flagship XDR4-8K Extreme LED Wall. This marks the smallest pixel pitch ever achieved for a residential LED video wall, and, when combined with the display’s native 8K resolution, sets a new visual standard for luxury home entertainment.

“This is a huge leap forward,” says Ken Hoffman, owner of Quantum Media Systems. “Our new 0.7mm pixel pitch not only improves the clarity and realism of the image, it also transforms how close an audience can sit to the screen without any visible pixelation. With a traditional 1.2mm pitch, the optimal viewing distance is around 12 feet. With our 0.7mm pixel pitch, that distance is cut in half, to about 6 feet, without compromising image fidelity. It’s a game-changer for more intimate, high-performance home theaters.”

By reducing the space between each pixel, Quantum’s new 0.7mm panels produce smoother, more lifelike images with greater pixel density and a seamless viewing experience, regardless of screen size. Even at close range, viewers are enveloped by rich color, deep contrast, and cinematic detail that closely mirrors the performance found in professional Hollywood screening rooms.

Hoffman notes that in real-world applications, Quantum’s 0.7mm pixel pitch performs equivalently to or better than the industry’s 0.6mm alternatives. “Thanks to our proprietary engineering and superior calibration, our 0.7mm pixel pitch actually delivers in-field results that meet or exceed the visual quality of other brands’ 0.6mm claims,” he explains. “That means integrators can offer elite clients an even better solution, with less power consumption and improved reliability.”

The new 0.7mm pixel pitch was developed in direct response to integrator feedback and real-world installation demands. As the size and use-case of home theaters continue to diversify, from large, purpose-built spaces to smaller, multipurpose media rooms, this finer pitch enables the native 8K capabilities of the XDR4-8K Extreme LED Wall to shine in any environment.

“Pixel pitch is a critical factor in LED wall performance, especially in residential applications where viewers often sit closer to the screen than in commercial theaters,” adds Hoffman. “By setting a new benchmark at 0.7mm, Quantum is once again giving our integration partners a real competitive edge.”

In addition to this industry-first 0.7mm pixel pitch, the XDR4-8K Extreme LED Wall includes:

  • Native 8K resolution delivered via Quantum’s proprietary processing engine
  • 120Hz refresh rate and support for HDMI 2.1
  • 100% coverage of the P3 color space
  • 2,000-nit brightness with proprietary glare-free panels
  • Multi-image processing and automatic aspect ratio formatting
  • A complete white-glove delivery model, from sourcing to calibration to installation

These tools open new opportunities for recurring service revenue through proactive maintenance packages, enhancing system reliability and client satisfaction.

The Apex Cinema Hub’s most notable innovation is its native DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives) content management, a feature that bridges the gap between commercial and residential theaters. It can display DCI title metadata, track playback timelines, resume content from the exact point it left off, and showcase cover art for new releases. Once exclusive to professional cinemas, this capability now elevates the luxury home theater experience while giving integrators a powerful competitive edge.

TPI Movement Optimizes Audio for dvLED Viewing with New Speaker Technology from TPI Aerospace 

One of the biggest challenges home technology professionals face when installing massive direct-view LED (dvLED) displays is determining where to place speakers to achieve both optimal surround sound and a visually seamless installation. Traditional home theater speaker placement, often behind acoustically transparent projection screens, is impossible with dvLED walls, which do not allow sound to pass through. As a result, integrators are often forced to choose between preserving audio performance and maintaining a clean, immersive visual aesthetic, an all-too-common compromise.  

TPI Movement by TPI Aerospace, distributed exclusively by Apex Technologies, eliminates this dilemma by delivering sound that seemingly comes directly from the display itself. Using the patented TPI DVC Movement Controller, this category-defining system manipulates timing, gain, and wavefronts to create phantom audio channels perfectly aligned with the on-screen action.  

TPI Movement’s LCR loudspeaker modules are available in multiple sizes and in-wall and on-wall configurations, combining reference-quality sound with the sleek aesthetics of large-format video walls. This flexible, customizable, integration-friendly design eliminates the compromise between audio performance and aesthetics, giving home technology professionals a powerful solution to deliver cinematic sound that complements the visual grandeur of dvLED technology.

Apex Technologies Power Hub Delivers Reliable, Intelligent Power Management for AV Systems

By adding the Apex Power Hub, home technology professionals gain centralized control of all Apex power products through a single, streamlined user interface, simplifying management and enhancing system reliability.

Designed for efficiency and ease of use, the Apex Power Hub features a compact form factor that integrates seamlessly into existing rack systems or network cabinets. Its intuitive web-based GUI eliminates the need for proprietary software or advanced programming knowledge, streamlining setup and configuration.

With the powerful remote management capabilities of the Apex Power Hub, home technology professionals can streamline system oversight like never before. The platform enables quick silencing of all UPS alarms, provides timely notifications for battery inspections and replacements, offers access to historical power data for diagnostics, and supports automated power-up and shutdown sequences. Real-time alerts, delivered via email or SMS, along with detailed power quality analytics, empower proactive maintenance strategies that help extend equipment lifespan and protect long-term system investments.

Apex Technologies Debuts Innovolt 2RU, 2kVA Rackmount Isolation Transformer for Critical Power Conditioning

Specifying a dedicated branch circuit for home cinema equipment is good practice, but it doesn’t fully protect systems from cross contamination caused by noisy motor/appliance loads on shared neutrals throughout the home. Elevated voltage (noise) on neutral-to-ground can degrade performance and shorten component lifespan. To address this, Apex Technologies is introducing CEDIA Expo attendees to the new INV-ISO-2000 isolation power transformer from Innovolt.

Designed to pair with an Innovolt voltage-regulating UPS, the INV-ISO-2000 galvanically isolates connected AV equipment from electrical noise generated within the home. It effectively lowers the electrical noise floor and reduces noise-related system lockups by creating a local, NEC-compliant neutral-ground bonding point.

This added layer of protection helps ensure clean power delivery to sensitive AV components. It’s a simple yet powerful step that can make a significant difference in both performance and long-term reliability.
