SE2 Labs, headquartered in Draper, Utah, is a company focused on innovation that developed the world’s first personalized, compact, all-in-one, plug-and-play home entertainment system also known as the Integrated Theater Console, winner of the Best of Innovations 2008 Design & Engineering Award at Customer Electronics Show.
This sophisticated system comprises all the functionalities of a high-definition player, audio system, video player, gaming device, and silent cooling system, into a single compact console measuring approximately 17.62 x 23.87 x 22 inches.

Starting this month, SE2 Labs is shipping the ITC One home entertainment system integrating high-definition video, gaming, audio, DVR functions, and A/V signal processing and control, while offering customers the possibility to customize it on the company’s website, by adding all the functionalities they prefer such as Blu-ray Disc drive, Apple TV, DIRECTV HD DVR for downloading all your favorite movies from the Internet, Dish Network DVR or national cable providers’ DVR (including Comcast, Time Warner, Cox Cable and more), AMX NetLinx Control System, Bryston pre-amp processor with full digital outputs, IcePower high-end D-class amplifiers, Vidikron high-end video processor, Apple Video iPod with universal dock , proprietary remote control, Microsoft Xbox 360, Windows Media Center, Nintendo Wii, Transparent Cable power conditioning, Transparent cabling and cable harness, in-wall/on-wall/in-room speakers, and even an anti-noise/vibration system.

You are probably wondering how SE2 Labs managed to integrate so many high-end entertainment devices into a single box measuring about the size of 2 PC consoles. Well, partnering with top brands in the audio-visual industry, SE2 Labs used floating circuit boards on removable cards, which permitted minimization of the box’s size increasing the system’s performance.
ITC One features a centralized power system and single 4.3-inch touch-sensitive screen control, but it also offers the possibility to connect video displays, auxiliary components, screens, drapery and even room lighting. The remote control provides color volume feedback, remote locator beeper and RF communication, while the setup process is simplified so the user has to connect only the power, video source and speakers.
Because it is conceived as a modular system, ITC One’s components can be easily changed or repaired during the 5-year warranty period.

It has a suggested retail price of $25,000 meaning with $15,000 less than in the case when you’d get all the following functionalities separately: Microsoft X-Box 360, HD PVR, Blu-Ray Drive, AMX Netlinx Control system, Bryston Digital Surround Processor, ICEpower High End D-Class Amplifiers, 4.3-inch Front Touch Screen, Apple Ipod video dock, Super Quiet Cooling System, SE2 RF System Remote Control, Transparent Cable Power Conditioning, Transparent Cable High - Cable Harness, Anti Noise and Vibration system, and Super Easy 2 Connect Rear Panel.
