Christie is unveiling a host of economical, user-friendly and technologically-advanced visual solutions for the pro AV, large venue, architectural, corporate, broadcast, control room and digital signage markets.
“Nine new Christie M Series projectors, two new 3LCD platforms and a new Pro AV 4K projector join a wide range of display options – including standard and custom-sized, stackable displays and LCD flat panels,” commented Kathryn Cress, vice president, global and corporate marketing, Christie.
Christie’s booth also features a projection mapping display utilising four Christie Roadster S+22K-J models, all with onboard Christie Twist image warping and blending software. “It’s not just about mapping images onto building facades anymore. With Christie Twist, mapping specialists have the creative freedom to map onto unusual surfaces and structures,” added Cress. Featuring content designed and mapped by BARTKRESA design, Christie’s projection mapping display at InfoComm illustrates the effect of mapping onto a pyramidal structure with deep facets and dramatic angles.
Specific to Insight Media’s Projection Summit opening today, Dr. Paul Salvini, chief technology officer at Christie, will give the keynote address on “What’s Next for Pro AV?” beginning at 9:00 a.m. PST at the Las Vegas Hotel.
Designed for small to medium-sized venues in higher education, corporate environments and government agencies, the Christie LW401, Christie LWU421, Christie LWU501i and Christie LW551i (3LCD) projectors all feature wide-screen capabilities and provide various resolutions and brightness along with professional functionality. They feature both Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture, allowing end users to display two input signals or video teleconferencing for collaboration. And with the lens memory recall, users can lock-in and quickly recall lens-shift positions settings, making these projectors ideal for multi-screen applications.
The Christie LX41 and Christie LW41 provide bright, affordable options in XGA and WXGA resolutions that meet the pro AV feature requirements in today’s small to medium-sized venues. This platform is priced for performance and ideal for higher education, corporate AV, and house of worship applications or any organisation that requires a full-featured, portable widescreen or XGA projector in the 4,000 ANSI lumens range.
Nine new additions to the dual-lamp, Christie M Series platform – including three Mirage models – comprising the Christie DS+14K-M, Christie HD 14K-M, Christie WU14K-M, Roadster S+14K-M, Roadster HD14K-M , Roadster WU14K-M, Mirage DS+14K-M, Mirage HD14K-M and Mirage WU14K-M projectors will make their presence felt. Much brighter than current M Series models, these 14,000 lumen projectors target auditoriums, boardrooms, conference rooms, houses of worship, post-production and live event users who need high brightness, 3-chip DLP technology.
Targeting high-resolution markets including amusement parks, automotive designers, museums, broadcasters, simulation, 3D users and planetariums, the Christie D4K25 projector offers 3-chip DLP technology, native 4K resolution for precision image detail, while providing 25,000 lumens of brightness and the flexibility to use different lamp powers, depending on application needs.
The Christie Entero LED 70” Display System is a HD LED stackable display system featuring a new and improved design based on a proven platform that was first introduced by Christie in 2009. Owing to the use of solid-state illumination, the Entero LED 70” features vivid, wide-colour gamut performance and there are no lamps to replace, no moving parts and no consumables. It also features Christie ArrayLOC automatic brightness and colour balancing technology, which monitors and adjusts colour and brightness levels across the display wall in real time.
Rounding out Christie’s new offerings is the TVC-1700, the latest generation of Christie video wall processors. Based on Windows 7 and running on a 64-bit OS architecture, it supports single- and dual-link DVI inputs and a wide range of video inputs. Its PCIe bus architecture is perfectly suited for capturing and displaying high-resolution, high frame rate (HFR) content, while providing ample processing power to support multiple inputs and outputs simultaneously.
The TVC-1700 is managed through Christie MASTERSuite software – a feature-rich, multi-tiered, easy to set up and use application suite providing immediate and convenient access to any source of visual information found in a control room.
