Christie's "Solutions That Rock" Audio-Video Technology Show Stops in Nashville February 4 - 6

Christie Vive Audio system

Christie, along with Draper Inc., Alcorn McBride, and rp Visuals Solutions presents "Solutions that Rock," February 4 - 6, at Soundcheck in Nashville, Tennessee. The latest stop of the traveling road show highlights display solutions and Christie Vive audio for organizations involved with professional AV rental staging, fixed installs, houses of worship, and corporate AV environments. Professionals from the healthcare markets will also benefit from attending by experiencing how audio-video technology can be used in meetings and for training purposes.

"Solutions that Rock" gives consultants, architects, service planners, and designers hands-on experience with some of the best audio and visual systems available, letting them discover exciting ways to convert projection ideas into reality. Attendees can also enjoy complimentary refreshments and gifts, and a chance to win an Apple iPad.

Christie's wide range of technologies include LCD, one-chip DLP and three-chip DLP, and DLP Cinema projectors, rear screen projection modules, video walls, advanced 3-D projection technologies, virtual reality and simulation. Whatever the application, the company says Christie solutions are purpose-built to meet unique projection requirements and backed by industry-leading service and support.

Day one is sponsored by distributor JB & A with VIP integrator Technical Innovation sponsoring both day two and three. Also on the agenda are two separate AIA-certified classes -- one presented by Draper and one by Technical Innovation -- taking place February 5 and February 6.

Solutions that Rock is also an informal occasion where dealers, integrators, distributors, consultants, and end users can see how the showcased products offer leading edge and effective solutions for their customers. To help increase their confidence when demonstrating and selling to their customers, attendees can participate in technology demonstrations and receive practical experience with each solution's capabilities.

The complete Christie Vive Audio solution comprises surround and screen channel speakers, subwoofers, and Class D amplifiers. It offers exhibitors the opportunity to provide audiences with the ultimate movie-viewing experience, enveloping them with richly detailed and enhanced audio where speech, special effects, music, and alternative content sound more natural and lifelike. At the core of the system are the combination of superior sounding screen-channel speakers with ribbon-driver technology and the performance of a line-array speaker design, all in a single enclosure.

Another Solutions that Rock highlight is the new Christie Brio. This presentation and collaboration solution enables multiple users to share video and audio content from laptops or mobile devices by connecting to the meeting room's video system through a Wi-Fi or Ethernet network. Presentations, video, and other media can be displayed without wires, dongles, or special software applications so meeting participants can start working without setup delays.

Christie Brio makes collaboration across multiple rooms, auditoriums, and offices easy and immediate. It can connect to multiple worksites on a college campus or across several campuses. All Brio nodes added to a meeting will be able to see the same content and contribute to the meeting by sharing any presentation. Christie Brio also takes full advantage of interactive whiteboard technology by turning it into a bi-directional collaboration tool. Any participant in a Brio meeting can use touch-enabled displays to add to or edit whiteboard contents, regardless of geographic location.

An additional highlight is the tower display of Christie MicroTiles with Christie Jumpstart. Built on proven DLP technology, Christie MicroTiles -- a flexible, high-resolution modular design concept -- are specifically designed for maximum image quality in demanding indoor, high ambient light environments.

Both the Christie M Series and Christie J Series will be showcased as will multiple solutions ranging from HD and 2K LCD, to Xenon three-chip DLP images, displaying on a 30' wide screen. Attendees will learn how to control any Christie J Series or M Series projector directly from their iOS-enabled mobile device using Christie's latest network wired and wireless control solutions.

Also on display is the Christie Vista URS. The all-in-one matrix switcher accepts multiple sources in any format (analog composite to digital 4K) and seamlessly routes these sources to as many as eight user-configurable outputs, which can be configured independently for any analog or digital output format.

The Christie FHD551-W 55" LCD outdoor flat panel will also be featured and, to fulfill the need to interface with IT systems, Christie will display its network solutions with all projection and multi-image systems connected to, and managed through, the IP network -- including wireless control of all devices. Christie AutoStack -- a camera-based, software driven solution used for maintaining projector alignment in multiple blend and stacked designs, will operate across the network offering a solution that manages both fixed installs and rental staging designs for both flat and curved screens.

The RPMM Mobile Matrix (deployable matrix video wall) from rp Visual Solutions is supporting the four Christie flat panels while the Christie Spyder X20 multi-image processor will manage all display content including the stereoscopic demonstrations.
