The on-board or remote power options for CorePlus increases installation possibilities while providing efficient heat management and redundancies for 24/7 operation. Christie Velvet CorePlus includes a direct mount system, making for quick and easy installation directly onto flat walls, eliminating the need for an additional mounting structure and thereby further reducing total system cost.
