Starting tomorrow Christie will be demonstrating its expertise and manufacturing excellence across a broad range of audiovisual solutions at ISE 2018, in Amsterdam. Visitors to Stand 1-H70 will get the opportunity to preview the company's latest development in AV-over-IP system architecture and performance, the newest laser phosphor projectors in the Christie stable, plus a brand new videowall solution and the latest extra narrow pixel pitch display range.
Christie Terra is a complete native 4K, 4:4:4 content delivery system – from player to display – which helps customers leverage the benefits of AV-over-IP systems. Built on standardized SDVoE technology for maximum compatibility, it delivers a standardized approach to maximize the scale, scope and user-experience while maintaining the integrity of a creator's source material without degradation, compression or latency. Terra supports video formats up to 4K at 60Hz and provides unprecedented transport and processing of uncompressed, zero-frame latency, artefact-free video over affordable 10G Ethernet components, says Christie.
Well, 4K video will be compressed, as that runs at 12 gigabit/s, that's the point of the SDVoE standard, the intermediate codec, and the synchronisation to allow synchronious video and audio to be distributed over non-synchronous IP networks as if it was a dedicated real-time video distribution network.
The Christie Boxer 3DLP projector now has the added ability to deliver direct interfacing of 4K audio visual content, processing, and control over 10G Ethernet. Through the Christie Terra SDVoE input board for Boxer. SDVoE changes the game for AV system designs and solutions by migrating everything onto the network, integrating all media and control onto a single system using a single cable, according to Christie.
"Christie Boxer is the first projector that integrates directly to an Ethernet network to accept real-time, 4K/60 AV content and control using SDVoE. The input board supports onboard processing and eliminates the need to purchase an external SDVoE receiver, and install, wire and power it locally to the projector," said Curtis Lingard, senior product manager, Christie. Adding: "Christie is leading the AV industry and the SDVoE Alliance by introducing this solution, and the Terra SDVoE input board for Boxer is another step in the migration of AV systems directly onto networks".
The new Christie Velvet CorePlus LED video walls deliver unparalleled design flexibility for a value-priced LED video wall solution. Ranging in pixel pitches from 1.2 to 4.0 millimetres, the single architecture scales easily to popular resolutions including 4K, is fully customizable with remote and on-board options, and can be both installed and serviced from either the front or back. Perfect for public spaces, casinos, theme parks, houses of worship, broadcast, control rooms, and conference rooms among many other applications, its direct mount system allows for a narrow installed depth of less than 100 millimetres. CorePlus includes a direct mount system, making for quick and easy installation directly onto flat walls - eliminating the need for an additional mounting structure and thereby further reducing total system cost. Moreover, with the new E600 Controller, end users can easily scale to 4K at 60Hz.
Also compatible with the E600 controller is the Apex 0.9mm LED video wall, a new member of the Christie Velvet Apex Series. This is the new leasable premium offer with integration support by Christie itself. Now available in ultra-fine pixel pitches from 0.9mm to 2.5mm and featuring a 16:9 aspect ratio, the Apex Series displays content in impeccable detail, making it the ideal choice for applications where image quality and clarity is paramount. The new offering allows for scaling to popular resolutions in a smaller square metre area as well as reducing optimum and minimum viewing distances. The Apex Series offers a proprietary solution of high quality components that work as a system to provide the highest visual experience, maximize display time, and ensure complete peace of mind, unmatched by other LED displays.
The new Christie Crimson Series of 3DLP laser phosphor projectors deliver up to 25,000 ISO lumens, 60Hz processing, and Christie BoldColor Technology (Red and Blue laser bank complimented by by Phosphor to create green and possibly yellow) in a compact and rugged package with a low cost of ownership for rental, staging and fixed installation customers. Users will appreciate the ultra-fast processing of Christie TruLife electronics and built-in warp and blend capabilities of Christie Twist. Moreover, by adding Christie Mystique, users will reduce multiple projector calibration times from hours to minutes, saving both time and labour costs. Designed with the technician in mind, the Crimson Series is built-tough and is easy to ship, handle and install thanks to its compact form factor, quiet operation and 360-degree orientation. Featuring an IP5X sealed, solid-state laser light source, Crimson projectors provide years of reliable, low-cost, and virtually maintenance-free operation while delivering vibrant, lifelike colours. With its long-lasting brightness, rock-solid reliability, the Crimson Series combines the best in laser phosphor technology with the brightness and colour that both fixed and live events stagers demand in today's ever-evolving marketplace. Christie says it is excited to see what its customers think of this new projector series at ISE 2018.
The full range of Christie's GS Series of high brightness, affordable laser phosphor projectors, will also be on show.
