Vista Day launches the programme and will take place at Wokingham on 29 September, 2009 and also at Germany's branch office in Mönchengladbach on 27 October 2009.
Vista Day is an opportunity to get to know the latest additions to the Vista range, such as the New Vista Spyder X20, launched at IBC. Vista products cover a range of difference routers and switchers, all of which help create some of the world's most powerful video-processing systems. Providing the ability to mix copious numbers of sources in multiple windows through one simple box, Vista is suitable for many markets, including, fixed Installations, rental staging and events as well as control room and broadcast display systems.
For mid-size applications that have multi-windowing, multiple displays and processing requirements, the Spyder X20 includes the matrix switching and integrated source monitoring functionality of the Christie Vista URS. It also includes all of the existing features of the Vista Spyder, such as high-end presentation capabilities and an intuitive and easy-to-use interface that appeals to experienced and new customers.
New to the Vista family and the AV industry at large is the 20 megapixel bandwith Spyder X20, which is available in both of the models; 1608 (16 inputs, 8 outputs) and 0808 (8 inputs and 8 outputs). Both models support blending, windowing, mixing and scaling in any source format and then route the signal to any destination device.
Attendees are encouraged to explain their own projects to get advice from Christie's dedicated team of experts, and will be given ideas and content to work with. Special guest for the day is Dave Lindsey from Watford-based Magic Visual Displays. As an integrator with long term experience working withthe Vista Spyder, not only will he be showcasing some of his company's latest installations but his experience can be availed of for those more complicated display issues.
