For the past 15 years the Musik Media Verlag publishing house in Germany has organised the highly regarded Musikmesse International Press Award (MIPA), which honours the outstanding products for the music industry. Following on from the success of MIPA and to celebrate its 15th year, Musik Media decided to create the Prolight + Sound International Press Award (PIPA) for the first time. PIPA is an award that recognises the best products in the professional audio and video industry, and is voted for by a global community of over 100 trade journalists working in the Pro-AV industry.
Nominated in the Video / Projection Devices category, the Christie D4K2560 with TruLife electronics won the award.
The award-winning Christie D4K2560 is a high-end three-chip DLP projector that has native 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution, offering ultra-realistic images and smoother video. In addition, the PIPA award particularly highlights the achievement of the Christie TruLife electronics, a breakthrough in high frame rate and high-resolution video projection.
Klaus Hilles, regional sales director DACH for Christie, was presented with the award at a joint evening ceremony for the MIPA and PIPA awards at the Prolight + Sound show in Frankfurt; over 300 representatives of international manufacturers and distributors were in attendance.
Afterwards, Michael Garrido, senior product manager at Christie, commented, "It gives us great pleasure to receive this PIPA award and I would like to thank the international press for voting for our Christie D4K2560 DLP projector with TruLife electronics. It is particularly pleasing to see our products and technology being recognised in this way, especially as 4K is such a key focus for Christie."
