Whole House Music
Your favorite music can lift your spirits and change your mood in positive ways. Imagine easy control of this music from any room in your home. Intuitive in-wall or portable touchscreen remote controls allow easy access to iPods, music on your computer, music servers, XM, Sirius, streaming Internet radio, and broadcast radio.
Gone are the days when your only music control was a volume knob on a wall; now you can navigate your music with intuitive two-way control to easily choose your favorite station, artist, song, or playlist.
You will be able to navigate your iPod, complete with album art, even if your iPod is in the Kitchen and you are in the backyard! Immediate access to your music has never been easier or more fun.
Whole House Video Distribution
Let's face it...the only audio/video component you want to see is your TV or projection screen. Having a Blu-Ray or DVD player, cable or satellite box, and a stack of other supporting components in each room is not only unsightly, it results in redundant components, extra energy usage, and poses the challenge of where to hide all of the components. Another inconvenience is running around the house to find which room your Blu-Ray or DVD movie was left in.
The professional design team at Yana routinely hide these components in a mechanical room or closet space and are able to centrally distribute the audio and video to the various rooms in your home. Even a 10-bedroom estate requires as little as two cable boxes or satellite receivers, and all of your movies can be centrally stored with a movie & music server system. With a media server, each room in your home can have its own unique movie feed playing simultaneously! Your architect and interior designer love this flexibility because they don't have to find niches or build cabinets to hide the electronics, we have already done it for them.
Lighting
No doubt you have experienced how good lighting design affects a rooms ambiance and mood. Trying to obtain this look with multiple light switches ganged together is not only difficult to achieve it is an eyesore. Eliminate wall acne with the simple elegance of a lighting control keypad that is able to control either a circuit of lights, an entire room, the entire house, or any combination thereof. For example, one six-button keypad in your Master Bedroom can have a button dedicated to turning on/off all of your rooms lighting, another button can dim the lighting to a preset scene for a romantic mood, a third button can light a pathway to your Kitchen, and the fourth button can turn off all of the lights in your house, a fifth button can turn all the electronics off in your house, and a sixth button can turn just reading lights on!
Experience lower energy costs as lights can be easily dimmed or automatically turned off if natural lighting reaches a predefined threshold. Your lighting fixtures will last longer, too, lessening the load of dangerous chemicals in our landfills. Once you experience the power and convenience of a lighting control system, you will wonder how you lived without it.
Motorized Shades
Effortlessly control natural light, save energy, and increase privacy with motorized shades and drapery. Yana is proud to represent the MechoShade family of motorized roller shades, drapery track systems, skylight shades, and Roman shades. MechoShade systems offer near silent operation, large selection of fabrics, and precision. Thanks to smart design, the shades and drapery move smoothly, in unison, and with exact alignment.
You are given much flexibility of drapery /shade control options to suit your lifestyle. Often, the drapery/shade controls are integrated within another interface, such as a lighting control keypad. This eliminates unnecessary wall clutter and simplifies operation. After all, lighting control systems and shades & drapery and controlling the same thing...light. The shade & drapery control buttons are backlit and engraved for intuitive use. Preset buttons instantly recall your favorite shade or drapery position, and these keypads are available in a wide variety of styles, colors, and finishes to complement your decor.
Home Automation-Control-Systems Integration
Imagine easy control of your home theater /media room, iPod, house lighting, security system, climate, motorized shades & drapery, surveillance cameras, and your pool/spa with a new home automation system. This “smart home” technology is also referred to as systems integration. It allows access and control of all your home’s subsystems with simplicity that can be compared to using a bank’s ATM…it is so easy anyone can use it. Intuitive touchscreen icons allow total control of your home with no instruction manual needed!
Eliminate wall clutter and enhance your family’s lifestyle and safety with the added convenience that a home control system allows. Imagine a single button press at night that 1 – turns off the house lights, 2 – arms your security system, 3 – turns off all audio/video systems. The built-in coordination between a home’s subsystems helps you save energy automatically by turning off lights and electronics that are not in use.
With “smart home” technology you will also have the ability to log onto your home from any web browser in the world which will give you full control of the system as if you where there. Forgot if you closed the garage door or left the light on? No Problem. At Yana Imaginative Audio Video Solutions, we take all of your wants and needs and translate them into the design of your automation system. It can be as simple or complex as you like, we tailor all of our designs to each specific client.
IT & computer networking
With the increasing importance of the Internet and computer networks in the home today, it is more important than ever to ensure that your computer networks are designed and installed with proper care and expertise for reliability, performance, and security.

We take into careful consideration the number of users, specific connected mobile devices, and hard wired devices to ensure maximum bandwidth at all times.
