There will be a heavy focus on market education and the stand will incorporate a dedicated technical service meeting space, manned by Christie certified engineers, where free consultation will be offered to all delegates, who will be apprised of the full extent of Christie's pro AV support services. This will be boosted by a dedicated seminar theatre, surrounded by videowall and MicroTiles Interactive zones, the presentation space for a new outdoor LCD flat panel LCD and a 1-chip DLP gallery.
These interlinked zones will address a myriad of market segments including corporate boardrooms, higher education, rental staging, broadcast, virtual reality and advanced control room environments, along with a dedicated hospitality area. Examples of 3D video mapping will come alive, driven by Christie J Series projectors and Christie Nitro integrated moving yokes for big canvas statements.
Several new technologies will be showcased - including Christie Phoenix, a controller platform utilising companies existing network infrastructure - as well as fully collaborative visual solutions for mission-critical control room monitoring and fully-interactive MicroTiles.
The Christie Interactivity Kit will also be featured at ISE 2013. Powered by Baanto ShadowSense tracking technology, this breakthrough design will enable multiple users to interact simultaneously with content on the Christie MicroTiles or any large-format video wall, by transforming it into a multi-touch surface. The kit itself can be configured into 84 different sizes and can accommodate practically any large format display up to 21.4ft wide and 6ft high, or up to a 16-units wide by six-units tall Christie MicroTiles array. Operating on a Windows 7 platform, the easy-to-use kit simply plugs into an on-site computer's USB port without the need for drivers.
Another world debut will be given to the FHD551-W LCD outdoor/weatherproof flat panel, which will set the standard for outdoor LED-backlit LCD technology. Rugged and versatile, the 55-inch Christie FHD551-W is a professional grade full HD solution designed to drive LCD flat panels and perform in harsh outdoor environments.
Christie will also be looking to consolidate its position in the control room sector, where it will demonstrate a major reinvestment. On show will be the new Christie Entero HB Display Cubes - with the world's first Wi-Fi control capabilities - and Christie Phoenix, a networked distributed information management platform that will be revealed on the opening day.
Also addressing the growing demands of the control room environment, matching cutting-edge performance with lower cost of ownership, is the new Christie TVC-700 display wall processor, a powerful manager of the most complex information sources.
Elsewhere there will be plenty of visibility for the award-winning MicroTiles, which is based on an LED light source but uses DLP optical imaging. Scala will feature a 35-tile display on its booth, while Premier Mounts will use 14 MicroTiles modules to form their own media display geometric.
Nor will Christie activity be confined to the exhibition floor. Elsewhere, the company is involved in Insight Media's MegaPixel Summit, with a presentation from George Tsintzouras, senior director new business initiatives, Christie on the Past, Present and Future of Megapixel Displays. Featured at the summit will be two Roadster Mirage HD14K-M projectors (with AutoStack 2.0) on a curved screen, along with a Christie Spyder X20 0808 for control. Finally, Christie will also be sponsoring the
