The Torry Holt

home theater system

Torry Holt is a stand-out wide receiver for the World Champion St. Louis Rams. A talented athlete, Torry holds a long list of records on the football field, including helping the Rams earn an NFL Championship. In addition to his football achievements, he is also the founder of the Torry Holt Foundation, which was established in 1999 in honor of Torry’s mother, who lost her life to cancer. Through its programs, fundraisers and other events, the foundation emphasizes the education and support of everyone affected by the diagnosis of cancer and its treatment. Torry even makes his own monetary donations to the foundation for every Rams win and 100-yard game he achieves. He is dedicated to his family, his business and everything about the sport of football.

the challenge

When Torry and his wife decided to convert the basement of their home into an entertainment room, they needed the space to serve several purposes. First, it had to be comfortable and open for social gatherings with family and friends. Second, they wanted an area that was decorative, yet safe and clutter-free as it would also be used as a recreation room for the Holt children. And since Torry sometimes held Foundation meetings in his home, he needed a technology-enabled room that was functional for professional discussions.

To complete the entertainment room, which also contained a pool table, air hockey table, bar, wrap-around couch and home theater system, Torry was in search of a display that would give him a larger, more vibrant image with broader signal compatibility than his traditional CRT television. Whether he was hosting friends for the NCAA tournament, popping in an animated DVD movie for his children or hooking up his laptop to review the latest results in cancer research on the web with his staff, the display he chose had to be easy to use and able to quickly switch input signals to accommodate the varying uses of the room.

	“It’s an extremely compact
	display with a stunning,	the solution
	high quality image that
	instantly impressed Torry.”

Torry selected an award-winning home entertainment projector from NEC Solutions America as his display of choice. The projector’s jawdropping video quality, 16x9 large screen image and sharp contrast provide an extraordinary picture and larger-than life display of DVDs, HDTV, video games, computer images, digital pictures and more.

Steve Gollaher of Wades TV installed the NEC projector into the ceiling of the Holt entertainment room along with a motorized 92-inch screen and remote control from Draper, Inc. According to Gollaher, the NEC projector connects to a new Moxi digital cable system for digital video recording and high-definition programming with an existing TiVo box and charter system. “In addition, the NEC projector accommodates the Holt family’s PlayStation, DVD player and laptop,” explained Gollaher. “It’s an extremely compact display with a stunning, high quality image that instantly impressed Torry.”

the benefits

The Holt family entertainment room is now complete thanks to the NEC projector. Because the display is discreetly mounted to the ceiling, it’s safely up and out of the way of activity. When the projector is not in use and accompanying motorized screen is up, visitors can view a wall mural, which contains Torry’s college and professional football jerseys along with other sports memorabilia.
