Christie's Access II range of discreet LCD displays is now shipping
Christie is shipping the Access II range of discreet LCD displays. Designed as budget-friendly UHD displays, Christie Access II Series panels are available in 55-, 65-, 75-, 86- and 98-inch ultra-thin formats. Designed for meeting rooms and retail applications, the plug-and-play solution integrates connectivity features, including OPS slot and USB playback. Flexible RS-2322, Ethernet, Crestron Connected and CEC can be adopted for management control.
Developed for cinemas, theme parks, museums, sports complexes and other indoor spaces, the CounterAct line of commercial UV disinfection products integrate Care222 far-UVC light technology. Designed to be installed on ceilings, the remote-controllable Christie fixture uses Ushio’s narrowband filtered Care222 excimer lamps that emit far-UVC 222nm light. This includes a short-pass filter that prevents the emission of longer wavelengths of UV light (+230nm) that are capable of penetrating human skin and eyes. The first Christie CounterAct fixture contains two Care222 excimer far-UVC lamps that are said to significantly reduce pathogens on surfaces of any indoor space. Equipped with instant on/off at full output power and Care222 technology lamps, the fixture has been shown to be effective at reducing pathogens such as coronaviruses in the laboratory and may be used when people are present.
Resulting in a near-seamless display with a bezel width of 0.44mm (0.88mm combined), the FHD554-XZ-H features an OPS slot and a variety of embedded processing modules on the panels, including Phoenix EP. Additional built-in processing includes videowall scaling, bezel compensation and staggered power-up. The platform supports 4K UHD signals at 60Hz on large-tiled videowalls with the factory-calibrated panels matched to ensure image uniformity. The FHD554-XZ-R uses remote and redundant power via external AC-DC hot-swappable supply modules.
The Pandoras Box family of hardware and software tools provide real-time, high-frame-rate 3D stereoscopic video playback and processing. Version 6.5 software now features a new render engine for improved performance, image quality and efficiency to deliver 10-bit colour depth for Rec. 2020 and HDR applications, while preserving the full colour palette (4:4:4) without any chroma subsampling.
