David Griffiths, Market Development Manager Control Rooms Christie EMEA, reviews in this interview within the framework of ISE 2013 to the solutions Christie offers for control room environments.

After a year and a half with a strong commitment to R&D, Christie has been presented in Amsterdam with a portfolio of new solutions for control rooms such as the TVC700 network controller, the Phoenix processor and also the Entero HB cubes that take LED cubes to a new level of luminosity and also lower power usage.

Phoenix

This open management system specifically designed for control room applications with which the American firm completely redefines the content management of the modern control room. The Christie Phoenix - essentially a network streaming solution- allows the user to seamlessly access and control information from virtually any location, to synthesize, generate and collaborate on quick and accurate decisions in the most critical situations. It is the perfect solution for those command and control centers that maintain a fast pace and have highly mobile and dispersed workforces., such as those dedicated to public service tasks, government, security and control or transportation and telecommunications, allowing them to take, with greater speed and precision, vital decisions in the most adverse environments.

Based on a single streaming application, on the Christie Phoenix node and in a robust PC user software environment, Christie Phoenix systems are simple and economical to set up, deploy and manage simultaneously from a single box. Particularly flexible and scalable, Christie Phoenix nodes can be combined to create display walls of virtually any size and perfectly synchronized, or used as a desktop processor to augment a single user's operating environment.

A reference in control rooms

Griffiths points out that “We intend to become the main company in control rooms while becoming a leader in markets around the world in audiovisual environments.”.

“Reliability is something that sets Christie apart. We have the most reliable projection engine in the world and it has already been proven over this time with failure tests that we have carried out in real field installations”, assures.

It also highlights the service that Christie offers around the world, thus achieving a unique proximity to the client to understand their needs and share new projects.
