Manageable through a web interface, Christie ACT allows the user control and flexibility. It can be accessed from any web browser on a networked computer making it accessible from a portable handheld computer or laptop.
With an intuitive graphical user interface, even the novice can easily customise tasks and events to suit specific needs, says the company. Featuring pre-defined scripts for supporting known devices and eight user programmable buttons on the front panel, customisation is simple and quick. Optimised for the Digital Cinema environment, the Christie ACT features a powerful open architecture that can integrate fully with any end user application. It can be configured to control sequencing of all devices that it is connected to, as well as listen for server cues and perform user-specified actions. With general input and output attachments, RS-232, RS-422, USB, and Ethernet connections on the front and back, Christie ACT can adapt to any installation environment. An expansion port for future device support provides flexibility.
"The Christie ACT is a great value proposition, providing exhibitors with a reliable and cost-effective automation solution for many common auditorium functions," says Brian Claypool, senior product manager of Entertainment Solutions, Christie. "It is a powerful device, custom designed to integrate with most end-user applications, including Digital Cinema and 35mm. Christie is committed to providing exhibitors with the best-in-class cinema solutions that include the industry's highest rated training, service and support."
