News Image
Christie® has announced 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.
The Christie Multi-touch Video Wall Solution comprises a 4-unit wide by 1-unit high row of portrait-mounted 55-inch LCD panels with bonded Corning® Gorilla® Glass, Christie Interactivity Kit, Christie JumpStart, and the mounting hardware for a wall-mounted or freestanding display.
Christie JumpStart now provides six outputs (compared with four previously) and a 50 percent increase in resolution capability – now 15 megapixels.
The content management system allows the display of multiple, high-bandwidth video files, graphics, Microsoft® Windows applications, Blu-ray™ and DVD movies and text on a large-format video wall.
It is compatible with any digital display, including Christie® MicroTiles® and rear-projection or flat-panel display solutions.
Christie JumpStart features a 3.6 GHz processor, 16 GB memory and 64-bit server. 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," said 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."
"The Christie FHD551-XG with Corning Gorilla Glass is scratch- and damage-resistant offering invaluable protection for multi-touch displays or in high-traffic, public spaces," said Mr Heslett.
"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."
The Christie Multi-touch Video Wall Solution offers Quad Full-HD resolution, high pixel density and LED backlighting.
"This new turnkey solution provides a superior interactive experience that enables up to ten simultaneous touches and the best touch performance in high ambient light," said Heslett.
"Whether it’s museums, universities, corporate lobbies, retail environments, or broadcast sets, the Christie Multi-Touch Video Wall Solution will capture people’s attention and fit in beautifully with the surrounding architecture. Reliable, practical and with the durability for high traffic areas, the multi-touch solution is easy to use and maintain, and provides a low total cost of ownership."
"Christie is at the forefront of innovative digital display technology," Mr Heslett said.
"It’s time consuming to search various vendors for what you need, but Christie has changed the game and is the first and only manufacturer to offer a complete, fully integrated, multi-touch video wall solution from a single source."
