Christie, the control room display firm, has introduced a new front access video wall cube product that enables high performance rear projection video wall displays. Minimal installation and maintenance space are required, the makers say.
The product allows video wall cubes to be positioned directly against a rear wall, removing the need for maintenance space behind. The first front access cube model, the Christie Entero HB 70-inch HD, will be joined by other front access models including 50-inch and 70-inch SXGA+ and 72-inch WUXGA.
Christie adds that customers can gain valuable space in their control room design by placing cubes against a wall, while maintaining narrowest screen gaps and using a smart air flow design for ventilation. Screen and geometry control are provided via the remote control, computer or tablet. The screen is on a slide mechanism.
Jim Gavloski, senior product manager, Control Rooms, Christie, said: “With space at a premium at many installation sites, front access cubes make it possible to install them right up against a wall or a structure. It’s a significant design element that will greatly expand the installation flexibility and ease of maintenance within our entire Christie Entero HB line.”
To access system internals, the installer engages the intuitive user interface on the chosen device – PC, tablet or even smart phone, and the system pops the screen away from the cube body, allowing the installer to move the screen out of the way for full front access. The internal electronics module has been adjusted to make the LED display viewable from the front.
“With more than 30 years of industry expertise, Christie is ready to provide its customers with the perfect control room solution, and now, with the new front access system, the fastest way to access the interior electronics of our popular Christie Entero line of display cubes,” said Gavloski.
