Get the Custom Width & Length to Match Your Frame TV  

You care about how your home looks, right? You aren’t a college kid with thumb-tacked posters and a hodgepodge of random furniture. No, you’re an adult with taste and a home you take pride in. 

So, if you’re reading this, you probably understand the clash between interior design and setting up an attractive entertainment system. You could have the most beautifully cultivated furniture, artwork, and lighting—and then a clunky TV setup disturbs the entire aesthetic.  

Thankfully, many technology manufacturers are catching on and offering solutions to make TVs appear more aesthetically pleasing. Samsung’s The Frame television resembles a real piece of art when powered off, and fits ultra-slim to your wall. 

And now, audio manufacturer Leon has released a soundbar to perfectly fit the width and dimensions of any Frame AV. Meet the Leon FrameBar, the soundbar built for audio and design enthusiasts alike. 

The Soundbar Made for The Frame 

Leon’s FrameBar is custom-built to match the precise dimensions and frame color of any Samsung Frame TV, creating a unified, polished look. With its ultra-thin cabinet (as slim as 2.375 inches), the FrameBar installs flush to the wall using Leon’s exclusive mounting brackets.

See What You’re Missing Without Professional Lighting Control

Do you dream of lighting that automatically adjusts throughout the evening, creating the perfect atmosphere on its own? Or do you wish you could turn off the entire house with just one tap of a button? 

Today, ‘smart’ Bluetooth and Wi-Fi bulbs are widely available in stores. But there’s a difference between owning a few smart LEDs and having a truly smart, centralized lighting control system. 

When you partner with a professional lighting designer, you’ll gain access to premium fixtures and smart lighting solutions that are only available through certified dealers. You’ll receive a clean, polished installation with all your lights and motorized shades connected to one central hub.

But if you’re still itching to buy some equipment, watch YouTube tutorials, and install it yourself? Let’s walk through the differences between professional and DIY lighting systems. 

A Look at ViewSonic’s Massive New Display on Wheels

This may be a bold claim, but we think ViewSonic’s new video display, the LDS135-151, may forever change business presentations and trade events. 

It’s rare that a new piece of tech truly shakes up the industry, but what we have here is essentially a portable, foldable video wall. 

The LDS135-151 is a 135-inch Direct View LED screen. Typically, most Direct-View LEDs require assembling multiple panels together, taking as long as two hours to install. Now, setup is reduced to as little as five minutes, and the massive display can be wheeled around the room or building. 

Let’s take a closer look at ViewSonic’s latest innovation. 

Glass-walled conference rooms are a hallmark of today’s modern, open-concept office. In urban Dallas offices—especially coworking spaces, design firms, and corporate headquarters—they offer sleek aesthetics, natural light, and a sense of transparency.

However, they come with two major acoustic challenges: echo and lack of privacy.

If your glass wall conference room in Dallas, TX, sounds more like a gymnasium than a meeting space, you’re not alone. Fortunately, solutions like acoustic treatments, sound masking, and AV integration can transform your space into a functional, private environment. Let’s explore how.

Elevating Interior Design with a Touch of Brass 

When many people hear ‘home automation,’ they think of glossy screens and futuristic gadgets. But Lutron offers a refreshing alternative for whole-home lighting control: the Aviena keypad. 

Designed with antique charm and performance, Aviena proves that smart technology can also be beautiful.

If you’re in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and planning a luxury home build or renovation, here’s why this new lighting control solution deserves your attention.

Attract (and Keep!) Top Talent While Improving Productivity in Your Meeting Spaces 

How is your conference room’s lighting? 

While it may not seem like the most urgent concern, your office’s environment can have a direct impact on employee performance, productivity, and morale. If people dislike being in your office, even if only a few days a week, they’ll be more likely to look elsewhere for work. 

Texadia Systems works with businesses across Dallas-Fort Worth, and we’ve seen our fair share of poor meeting room lighting. After we come in and update the lighting design, people are amazed at how much more enjoyable it is to meet and collaborate in their meeting spaces. 

So, whether you’re moving into a new unit or upgrading your current workspace, consider the following updates to your conference room lighting.

First, Get As Much Natural Light as Possible 

We can’t stress this enough. While most of us know intuitively that natural light makes us happier, there’s science to back it up. A 2018 study by the World Green Building Council found that workers in offices with natural light reported up to 15 percent higher levels of well-being, productivity, and creativity. A study by Cornell University also found that workers in daylit offices experience 84 percent less eye strain, headaches, and blurred vision compared to artificially-lit spaces. 

Outdoor Audio That Actually Endures All Weather 

Are you someone who prefers to purchase high-quality, long-lasting items rather than quick and convenient products that quickly fall apart? 

If that sounds like you, we’re willing to bet you’re a little nervous about investing in new outdoor audio or lighting equipment. Speakers that stay outside permanently—how long can they really last? 

While it may sound hard to believe, Coastal Source’s outdoor hardware is the real deal. We’ve had a very long partnership with Coastal Source and trust that their outdoor audio and lighting can endure even the harshest Texas weather, year after year. 

Getting Started with Direct-View LED Walls 

From command centers to retail spaces, all types of businesses thrive with a video wall display. 

While the video wall has been around for quite some time (first introduced in the early 1980s), the latest, greatest version in 2025 is the Direct View LED Video Wall. Unlike previous iterations, DVLEDs don’t use a backlight to display an image. Instead, each individual LED diode is both a light source and a pixel. Each pixel emits its own light, creating richer colors and a smooth, grid-free image. 

Direct View LED walls are also completely modular and scalable to any size or aspect ratio—which is especially helpful for any business looking to get creative with their video wall display. You don’t have to stick to one image or video on the screen. Why not use your wall-sized screen to share all the content you desire? 

Whether you need game coverage in a sports bar or wayfinding content in an airport, a commercial integrator like Texadia Systems can help you customize the number of images/videos on display. Here’s how it works. 

Two Essential Components: the Processor & Controller 

To set up your video wall’s display, you’ll need a quality processor and controller, which serve two very distinct purposes:

Conference Rooms & Collaboration Spaces: Two Distinct Concepts 

If your team is still trying to make hybrid work work, or if traditional conference rooms aren’t delivering the results you expect, it may be time to consider a shift.

Search interest in “collaboration space” has nearly quadrupled since 2014, peaking this past summer 2025. But what exactly are these spaces, and how do they differ from the conference rooms most offices already have?

Let’s unpack the meaning, benefits, and use cases of collaboration spaces—and why they’re quickly becoming essential across industries.

What Is a Collaboration Space?

A collaboration space is an environment purpose-built to support idea generation, creativity, and problem-solving with some hybrid communication. Unlike traditional conference rooms that often cater to static presentations, collaboration spaces are interactive and flexible.

These rooms should feature modular, easily-moved furniture, dynamic room layouts, and technology designed to enhance group productivity, whether the team is in-person, remote, or both. Think interactive whiteboards, integrated video conferencing, in-ceiling audio, and intuitive room controls, all working together in one seamless solution.

HOW OUR COLLABORATION CREATES INCREDIBLE SYSTEMS

We’re a technology integrator, which means we implement business technology systems, including audio, video, security, and lighting. Lighting is a major part of what we do, and we help businesses remotely control and automate their lighting with customizable LED fixtures. 

But we aren’t architects or property builders. We partner with these professionals to bring technology solutions to life in new businesses and homes. In a similar way, we collaborate with lighting designers to supply the technical and electrical side of wonderful lighting design. 

We partner with designers at Light Can Help You to fulfill breathtaking lighting designs through smart technology and custom programming. Here’s how we work with lighting designers to complete commercial lighting projects in the Dallas, TX, area.

Let’s Take a Closer Look. 

“Is Ketra really worth it?” 

It’s a common question searched online and asked by our showroom visitors. Because while Ketra is regarded as the gold standard of tunable lighting control, it does have a notably higher price tag than products like Philips Hue. So, is it really the best? 

To understand Ketra’s value, it’s best experienced in person. But until then, let’s explore what makes Ketra more than just another lighting product, and why it’s trusted by design professionals, homeowners, and architects alike.

Not Just Bulbs: A Complete Line of Architectural Lighting

While most smart lighting brands focus on retrofittable LED bulbs, Ketra offers an expansive architectural-grade line: recessed downlights, linear tape lights, and track lights, all fully color-tunable across 16 million colors. We can use Ketra alone to create complete lighting designs, from ambient and accent lighting to task-focused areas.

The technology is equally advanced: each Ketra fixture contains a 16-diode chip, giving it the precision to render the exact hues and dynamic white tuning you desire. 

Protect What You’ve Built with Building-Wide Access Control 

What happens when your facility’s entry points aren’t as secure as you think?

In just the last year, several Texas-based businesses and organizations have suffered devastating breaches, each incident underscoring the need for proactive, intelligent access control.

• Austin Pets Alive!, an animal shelter, was broken into in August 2025. A keypad was forcibly damaged, dogs were released, and tragically, one died.
  
  
• Overhaul, a supply chain management company in Austin, reported a 49% increase in cargo theft in 2025, as part of a broader rise in theft across Texas.
  
  
• In Midland, businesses lost over $90,000 in property during a 2024 string of break-ins.
  
  
• In Houston, a local restaurant suffered two burglaries in a single week, one involving a power cut to disable the alarm system.

While motives vary, these incidents share one common thread: a lack of sufficient physical access control. A damaged keypad, an unmonitored entry point, or a power outage shouldn’t be a free pass for criminals.

How Hybrid Work Reveals the Weaknesses of Outdated Meeting Rooms 

In 2020, when most of the working world went online, we proclaimed that the future was remote. Many business owners worried their offices would forever sit empty. 

That didn’t turn out to be the case—instead, most businesses are operating on a hybrid model. Today, 50-52 percent of ‘remote capable’ jobs are working hybrid, with 22-30 percent fully remote and 20-22 percent entirely on-site. 

Enhance Your Healthcare Campus with Advanced AV Solutions

Effective communication is non-negotiable, especially for institutions that serve as hubs for innovation, collaboration, and ongoing training. One leading hospital in the Dallas/Fort Worth area recognized that its existing auditorium Audio Video setup no longer met the needs of modern medical education and leadership meetings.

They turned to Texadia Systems to deliver an AV transformation that would support their commitment to excellence without disrupting current infrastructure. The resulting state-of-the-art auditorium supports high-impact presentations, seamless collaboration, and user-friendly operation for medical professionals and administrators alike.

Host In-Person and Hybrid Meetings with Ease 

Is your company building new conference rooms or renovating your existing ones?

What an exciting opportunity! You have the chance to create a dynamic, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing space that makes it easy to collaborate—even with remote team members. 

To prepare your business for a future of successful meetings, make sure the following features are on your conference room checklist. 

Understand What Keeps Your Smart Home Running—and Why the Network Matters

A lot of homeowners assume their entire smart home shuts off the moment the internet drops. That's a fair assumption—most of us think of "smart home" and "internet" as the same thing. In reality, they're not. 

A well-designed Crestron Home system runs on several distinct layers, and only some of them depend on the internet at all. Knowing which layer does what helps you ask better questions before you invest in a system, and helps explain why reliability matters more than flashy gadgets.

For homeowners across Dallas-Ft. Worth, reliability starts long before you press a button. Here’s why Texadia Systems treats the network as an essential part of your smart home experience.

Update Your Downlights to LEDs & Reap the Benefits 

When most homeowners hear the phrase “lighting upgrade,” they assume it's as simple as swapping out an old bulb for a new one. However, switching from incandescent and CFL bulbs to LEDs can be a little more complicated for recessed/downlight fixtures. 

Downlights come in one of two forms: can or canless. Can lights feature a cylindrical housing behind the bulb, while canless lights are flush to the ceiling without any space around the light. No matter what you have, if your recessed lights still use older light bulbs, it’s time to upgrade to LEDs. 

Our partner DMF Lighting offers a Retrofit Kit that makes it easy to upgrade recessed lighting systems to high-quality LEDs. Let’s walk through how it works—and why it’s always worth upgrading to LED lighting.

Putting More Control in the Homeowner’s Hands 

If you live in a Control4 household, you’re in luck. 

Control4 recently unveiled its newest operating system, X4, which brings newfound customization options to your C4 interface. Plus, if you’re an Apple fan, X4 deepens Control4’s integration with Apple products. 

Here’s all you can expect when you upgrade your Control4 system to X4.

What Should My Sound System Look Like? 

If you’re interested in audiophile-quality speakers, sound performance should obviously be your top priority. 

For the best sound, look for reputable brands with high-quality materials, large drivers, and the ability to accurately replicate high, low, and mid-range sound frequencies. (Unsure where to start? Use our hi-fi guide here.) 

And while sound quality is undeniably important, your new speakers’ appearance matters, too. After all, you’re going to live with this hardware in your home for years and even decades. You should like how the hardware looks! 

The following speaker brands not only offer incredible ‘inner beauty,’ but their outer beauty makes a great choice for the design-conscious homeowner. 

Stunning & Floorstanding 

Italy is known for its incredible fashion design (Armani, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana)—and speaker design, too! Sonus Faber has been handcrafting hi-fi speakers in Vicenza, Italy, for almost half a century. 

See What Your Conference Room Can Actually Do

Most businesses running Microsoft Teams have no idea how much the platform can do beyond starting a call. Teams Rooms has grown into a genuinely capable meeting platform, but a lot of that capability sits unused because nobody set it up—or knew it existed in the first place. 

At Texadia Systems, we design and install Teams Rooms systems across Dallas-Fort Worth, and we spend as much time introducing clients to features they didn't know they had.

Getting People Into the Room Faster

The biggest friction point in most meetings is the first two minutes. Teams Rooms solves this with one-touch join, QR code join, and direct guest join, so nobody's hunting for a meeting ID or waiting on IT. 

And because cross-platform join now supports Cisco Webex, Google Meet, Zoom, and standard SIP connections, you're no longer locked out of meetings just because a client or vendor uses a different platform. If your business regularly hosts outside partners, this alone solves a recurring headache.

Features That Change How a Meeting Actually Runs

Once people are in the room, Teams Rooms gives you real control over how the meeting looks and functions:
