Christie Celebrates 10th Year At IBC2013

Christie, a global visual technologies company, will be celebrating its 10th year at IBC2013 (Hall 9 Stand C17) with the first European presentation of a number of new products.
The company will be supporting IBC TV and the IBC conference programme, and is once again the supplier for digital cinema projection at the IBC Big Screen experience.
First up is the Christie Brio – a presentation and content sharing solution which enables meeting participants to share across multiple locations, running audio and video presentations from their own smart devices wirelessly without the need to install any 3rd party software. Brio features a whiteboard which can be shared in real-time for comment, note-taking or drawing – all of which can be saved, shared or recalled for later editing. As a result, participants are able to share information much more easily and leverage critical knowledge faster, allowing them to make more informed decisions.
Next is the Christie QuadHD84 – a versatile, quad high definition LCD flat panel that provides a unique interface for true 60Hz performance at a full 3840 by 2160 resolution, compatible with both computers and video sources. The 84-inch Christie QuadHD84 display provides rich, pristine and detailed images for the ultimate in realism. The super-fast refresh rate allows for smooth, real-time motion display of 2D content while its 50,000 hours illumination life makes it reliable and cost-effective.
Following that is the Christie FHD461-X – a 46" HD LCD flat panel with the tightest seams, best image quality and slimmest profile in its class. Featuring high pixel density, 1.07 billion colours and a 4000:1 contrast ratio, the ultra-narrow bezel Christie FHD461-X produces vivid, crisp images on a near-seamless tiled video wall display.
Finally, the Christie FHD551-XG – an LCD flat panel which offers full HD resolution, high pixel density and an LED-backlit screen. Christie is the first to bring to market super-narrow bezel LCD panels with all-weather, optically bonded Corning Gorilla Glass, providing impact, scratch-resistant displays which can be used for outdoor digital signage and high-traffic public spaces. These panels deliver an enhanced visual experience, making images appear more vivid and crisp.
Christie technology will be displayed by several partners at the show – Vizrt, coolux, Harris Broadcast, Autodesk, Quantel and Lund Halsey. The products will include a mix of Christie Mirage projectors, Christie FHD551-X LCD flat panels and the Christie Spyder X20 video processor.
Dale Miller, vice president, EMEA, Christie, said: "IBC is an important show for the broadcast industry and the perfect platform for us to present a number of significant new products, in particular Christie Brio. In our 10th year it's good to see more and more recognised broadcast brands using Christie products to present their solutions."
