BES/NEW DELHI – (January 15, 2015) – Christie® is bringing its leading visual solutions to members of the broadcasting industry at the 21st International Conference & Exhibition on Terrestrial and Satellite Broadcasting (BES Expo 2015) from January 15 to 17 at Pragati Maid?an in New Delhi, India.
At booth No. 69, Christie’s India partner Falcon Technologies is showcasing a suite of innovative, reliable and financially accessible visual solutions that are ideal for the broadcast arena in a simulated television studio setting, complete with a news anchor’s desk. Visitors will be able to experience the highly versatile Christie® MicroTiles® arranged in an array of four units by four units in the backdrop, as well as a row of four units fitted in front of the desk.
Christie MicroTiles are renowned for their ability to maintain color depth, high contrast and high brightness at 3200K. With their ultra-high resolution images and color fidelity and saturation – especially rich, deep blacks – the MicroTiles’ unique qualities make them the ultimate digital canvas for creating eye-catching sets that are perfect for high-definition television broadcasts.
Another highlight at the booth is the affordable and easy-to-use Christie QuadHD84 LCD panel featuring Quad HD resolution (3840 by 2160) and true 60Hz refresh update rate for normal/natural display. Equipped with unmatched resolution and performance capabilities, the 84-inch panel offers an easily deployable and affordable Quad HD display solution. It can be easily installed as a wall-mountable or free-standing display, and is the perfect solution for presenting complex, detailed animation, data or live content for studio backdrop visualization, delivering powerful presentations or for accurate monitoring and collaborations – best suited for the broadcasting industry.
High-definition contents shown on the MicroTiles and QuadHD84 displays are driven by the Christie Spyder X20, a versatile hardware-based video processor combined with the flexibility of a universal routing switcher. Its integrated source monitoring enables simultaneous, real-time, full frame rate monitoring of all inputs. The Spyder X20 provides users with a 20-megapixel bandwidth to blend, window, and mix and scale any source format and then routes the signal to any destination device or combination of display devices – quickly and easily.
