Christie Showcases High Performance Cost-Effective Solutions at InfoComm Brazil 2014

São Paulo (PRWEB) May 14, 2014

Christie® showcases state-of-the-art solutions for the business, broadcast, control room and digital signage markets at the first TecnoMultimedia InfoComm Brazil 2014, held at Centro de Exposições Imigrantes, São Paulo, May 13-15.

“This trade show is a first for Brazil and Christie is proud to be part of its inaugural event,” says Bruno Tavares, general manager of Christie Digital Systems South America Ltda. “The opening of our first South American office in São Paulo last year and our participation in this trade show demonstrates Christie’s commitment to this growing region, where the demand for Pro AV, visualization, control room and simulation solutions is noticeably increasing.

“Christie’s high performance, cost-effective solutions are supported by first-rate customer and technical support from our Brazilian office.”

Christie G Series and Q Series

Christie will showcase the Christie DHD600-G 1-chip DLP® projector. Boasting 6,000 lumens with WXGA, HD, and WUXGA resolution in a single-lamp design, the Christie DHD600-G is the brightest in its category and provides the exceptional image quality, brightness and dependability that is essential for presentations in board and conference rooms. For higher education, government facilities and houses of worship with limited budgets, the Christie G Series delivers a cost-effective solution with the long-life DLP® technology needed in such environments.

The Christie DWX951-Q – part of the Christie Q Series 1-chip DLP® projectors – will also be featured. Usable in single or dual lamp mode, Christie Q Series delivers best-in-class performance with brightness options from 8,500 to 10,000 lumens in XGA, WXGA, and WUXGA resolutions. The Christie Q Series is equipped with eClarity™ – advanced image processing that significantly enhances images by providing greater control over image sharpness, gloss and shading. For rental staging applications including concerts, conventions and other events where visuals are a vital component, end users will recognize the Q Series’ difference when blending or warping images from multiple projectors onto flat, curved, hexagonal, or spherical surfaces.

Commercial grade full HD flat panel

Another highlight on the Christie booth will be the new Christie FHD651-T flat panel. The competitively priced, LED edge-lit Christie FHD651-T with a thin 2.7 inch profile makes it easy to install and integrate into any design. This commercial-grade LCD flat panel has the reliability and image quality needed for meeting rooms, classrooms, corporate lobbies, museums, and education facilities, houses of worship, theaters, and hospitality and retail environments. Featuring up to four simultaneous touches, the Christie FHD651-T has high-accuracy infrared touch technology and superior touchscreen performance in a fully integrated package.

Effective collaboration and presentation with Christie Brio

Christie Brio, the meeting room solution awarded the 2013 Rave Award for Best New Wireless System at North America’s InfoComm 2013, makes it effortless to meet, share information and work across multiple sites while automatically coordinating up to five simultaneous video and audio presentations on meeting room displays. Geographic distance is no limit for Christie Brio – presentations and high quality media are shared between sites quickly and easily so that team collaboration is easy.

Brio allows the user to connect and present virtually and collaborate in real-time while displaying high-quality uncompressed 1080p video sources within a meeting room or stream video between sites at up to 30 fps. Information is secure since no personal device information or content is loaded or saved on a Christie Brio node.

Christie’s commitment to control rooms in Brazil

“South America is a very important region for Christie,” said Dave Muscat, senior director, Control Room Solutions, Americas Region at Christie. “We have recently expanded our Brazilian office by hiring Clayton Brito to help the company drive control room solutions and other business product sales in Brazil.”

“Christie is committed to growing its control room business globally, extending its expertise in this key market, as well as strengthening its relationships with partners. We will continue to introduce new display products, state-of-the-art processing solutions, and expand our service offerings.”

Christie will exhibit an array of high brightness 50-inch Christie Entero™ HB DLP® video wall cubes, SXGA (1400×1050) resolution designed for 24/7 performance and reliability, and overall low cost of ownership for utilities, government, security and surveillance, and public and emergency services. Christie’s Entero HB series is based on the most advanced DLP®, LED and image processing technology, for long life and minimal maintenance.The Christie Entero HB line is the first and only LED control room display to offer wireless control through Wi-Fi capability.

Driving the content will be the Christie Phoenix™ open content management system and network streaming solution that enables seamless secure access and control of audio-visual data, regardless of the user’s location. The Christie Phoenix is ideal for fast-paced command and control centers with highly mobile and dispersed workforces.

Finally, a 2-unit-by-2-unit award-winning Christie® MicroTiles® display will showcase amazing image quality, vibrant, and true-to-life color. MicroTiles offer design flexibility to create a digital canvas of almost any shape or size, for any industry.

Christie is Front and Center at NAB 2014 with the Authoritative Visual Display Technology Line-Up

NAB/Las Vegas (PRWEB) April 05, 2014

Christie® continues its leadership in the visual display technology market at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas April 5-10. The exhibits open April 7, showcasing two connecting Christie booths featuring the latest 4K solutions including laser projection. The benefits of Christie Q Series, Christie Brio, large format LCD displays, 1-chip DLP® and 3-chip DLP® projectors, and more will be featured.

Laser Projection Summit Kicks off NAB

Don Shaw, Ph.D. and senior director of product management, Entertainment Solutions, Christie, will participate in the ‘Technology Summit’ on Cinema at 5:00 p.m. April 5 as part of the ‘Laser Illuminated Projectors’ panel discussion. The presentation will show how 3D light levels, color fidelity, image uniformity, viewing comfort, and a sense of immersion can be vastly improved using a 6P laser projection system, especially when combined with advanced color separation technology like Dolby 3D®, versus the conventional 3D systems found in cinemas today.

6P Laser Presentation at Christie Innovation Theater

The Christie Innovation Theater will demonstrate a 4K Christie Solaria 6P laser system using the world’s most efficient 3D technology and the industry-preferred image quality that doesn’t require a silver screen. Sure to be a show highlight, the 6P laser presentation provides a glimpse into the future of projection technology. Utilizing six specific primary colors, Christie laser projection technology brings dramatically improved 3D efficiency to projection systems and is ideal for any 3D display system.

The demonstration will use Dolby® 3D glasses specifically engineered to match the six primary laser light wavelengths and viewers will experience 3D Cinema as it was meant to be seen.

4K Solutions, Large Format LCD Display, New HD Christie Q Series and More

The Christie D4K2560 3-chip DLP® projector with the Christie TrueLife™ 4K platform will be showcased. When uncompromising image fidelity, brightness and resolution are needed in cinematic settings, amusement parks, casinos, or 3D visualization systems, the Christie D4K2560 is the clear choice; providing four times the resolution of 2K along with 60Hz.

A Christie broadcast set complete with Christie® MicroTiles® and content driven by the Christie Spyder X20 video processor will also be featured along with the North American debut of the Christie FHD651-T intuitive touch flat panels. With up to four simultaneous touches, the Christie FHD651-T provides superior touchscreen performance in a fully integrated package for meeting and classrooms, corporate spaces, museums, education, hospitality and retail, and more.

The Christie FHD551-W outdoor flat panel and the Christie FHD551-XG complete the large format LCD display solutions.

With its sleek overall style and high-performance features, the Christie DHD951-Q provides superior image processing, versatility and affordability.

Also debuting in North America is the Christie DHD600-G. Part of the upgraded Christie G Series, it is suitable for demanding environments such as signage and museums delivering multi-projector blends onto curved surfaces seamlessly for a perfect image every time.

Christie Brio Share More, Accomplish More

The Christie FHD651-T flat panel seamlessly combines with the Christie Brio multi-site presentation and collaboration solution. Christie Brio featured in separate meeting rooms at the booth allows users to virtually meet, share information and collaborate effortlessly, overcome geographical distances, and eliminate the challenge of single and multi-site workplace meetings.

On the second floor of the Christie booth, the advantages of the 3-chip DLP® Christie Roadster HD20K-J and Christie HD14K-M projectors will be presented. Rugged and ideal for rental staging, both provide significantly higher return on investment and provide superior image quality compared to others in their class.
