Christie pushes the display envelope at InfoComm 2013 with the introduction of the next generation of Christie JumpStart, the Christie FHD551-XG with Corning Gorilla Glass, and the company’s first turnkey multi-touch video wall solution.
An industry first with the smallest image-to-image gap of any bonded LCD panel, the Christie Multi-touch Video Wall Solution comprises a 4-unit wide by 1-unit high row of portrait-mounted 55” LCD panels with bonded Gorilla Glass, Christie Interactivity Kit, Christie JumpStart, and the mounting hardware for a wall-mounted or freestanding display.
Quad Full-HD resolution, high pixel density and LED backlighting combine to provide a visually stunning display with the smallest bezels of any bonded video wall. Christie says it is “the first and only manufacturer to offer a complete, fully integrated, multi-touch video wall solution from a single source.”
Now with higher resolution capabilities and faster performance,Christie JumpStart now provides additional flexibility with 6 outputs (compared with 4 previously) and a 50% increase in resolution capability (now 15 megapixels). The content management system allows you to display multiple, high-bandwidth video files, graphics, Windows applications, Blu-ray and DVD movies, and text on a large-format video wall. It is compatible with any digital display, including MicroTiles and rear-projection or flat-panel display solutions.
Christie JumpStart features a 3.6 GHz processor, 16 GB memory and 64-bit server for faster performance and a more powerful workstation. Users can also send serial over IP commands to external devices by scheduling them at any point along the scenario timeline.
“Christie JumpStart targets architectural markets including museums, universities, stadia, corporate offices and retail stores needing high resolution, reliable content playback across large video walls,” says Richard Heslett, senior product manager, Christie. “Rental stagers will also benefit from the speed and ease of setup of JumpStart, and its support for unique display configurations.”
Christie FHD551-XG is the first 55” super-narrow bezel LCD display for tiled video walls with bonded Corning Gorilla Glass, and is ideal for touch screens including broadcast sets and high-traffic public spaces including hotels, restaurants, museums, airports and railway stations.
Heslett.says, “The optical clarity of Corning Gorilla Glass makes images appear brighter and crisper than standard LCD and customers will also notice how lightweight it is, making for reduced shipping costs and easy installation.”
Christie Jumpstart, Christie FHD551-XG with Gorilla Glass and Christie Multi-touch Video Wall Solution begin shipping in July 2013.
