Christie®, a global visual technologies company, recently announced a deal with MGG, one of the largest rental staging companies in South Africa, for four Christie Roadster HD20K-J 3-chip DLP® purpose-built, event-staging projectors. These will be the first of the new J-Series projectors to be deployed in Africa.
The Roadster HD20K-J DLP projector enables customers to create visually compelling Pro-AV shows with Xenon colour-rich, high definition images.
MGG has been steadily increasing their investment in Christie Pro-AV systems, starting with LCD and 1-chip DLP, moving to 3-chip DLP, UHP illuminated M-Series and now onto the J-Series digital projectors. Mark Gaylard, owner of MGG, says: “Over the past couple of years we have purchased a number of Christie products and have been particularly impressed with their quality and reliability, so when we were looking for projectors that could enhance our capabilities and offerings, they had to be Christie.’
Gustav Barnard, Technical and Education Manager at Stage Audio Works, adds: “We are delighted to have MGG, a true pioneer in the event technology rental sector, on board as the first owners of the Christie Roadster HD20K-J digital projector on the continent to meet the growing demands of the African market. Congratulations to Mark on his investment.’
“We have been building a strong relationship with MGG via our partner Stage Audio Works over the past two years, so we are particularly pleased that they have chosen our Roadster HD20K-J projectors to enhance their rental staging offerings,’ comments Phil Lord, Christie’s territory manager for Africa.
