Christie JumpStart now provides additional flexibility with six outputs (compared with four previously) and a 50 percent increase in resolution capability - now 15 megapixels. The content management system allows you to display multiple, high-bandwidth video files, graphics, Microsoft Windows applications, Blu-ray and DVD movies, and text effortlessly on a large-format video wall. It is compatible with any digital display, including Christie MicroTiles and rear-projection or flat-panel display solutions.
Christie JumpStart features a 3.6GHz processor, 16GB memory and 64-bit server for even faster performance and a more powerful workstation. Users can also send serial over IP commands to external devices by scheduling them at any point along the scenario timeline.
"Christie JumpStart targets architectural markets including museums, universities, stadia, corporate offices and retail stores needing high resolution, reliable content playback across large video walls," said Richard Heslett, senior product manager, Christie. "Rental stagers will also benefit from the speed and ease of setup of JumpStart, and its support for unique display configurations.
"The Christie FHD551-XG with Corning Gorilla Glass is scratch- and damage-resistant offering invaluable protection for multi-touch displays or in high-traffic, public spaces," said Heslett. "The optical clarity of Corning Gorilla Glass makes images appear brighter and crisper than standard LCD and customers will also notice how lightweight it is, making for reduced shipping costs and easy installation."
Now, Christie customers can fulfill their entire video wall requirements with one vendor thanks to the Christie Multi-touch Video Wall Solution that brings a turnkey, interactive digital experience to multiple users. Quad Full-HD resolution, high pixel density and LED backlighting combine to provide a visually stunning display with the smallest bezels of any bonded video wall.
"This new turnkey solution provides a superior interactive experience that enables up to ten simultaneous touches and the best touch performance in high ambient light," said Heslett. "Whether it's museums, universities, corporate lobbies, retail environments, or broadcast sets, the Christie Multi-Touch Video Wall Solution will capture people's attention and fit in beautifully with the surrounding architecture. Reliable, practical and with the durability for high traffic areas, the multi-touch solution is easy to use and maintain, and provides a low total cost of ownership."
