When it comes to control rooms, not all flat panels are equal and at Intersec in
Dubai, which took place from January 17th to 19th, visitors could see control room-
specific flat panels from Christie as well as Christie’s trusted Phoenix controller with
new upgrades and now ONVIF compliant.

“Christie’s new 55-inch flat panel is one of a range – with ultra-thin bezel –
specifically designed so that they provide near seamless displays for control rooms
that are at the ideal resolution and brightness; explained David Griffiths, Director,
Market Development, Systems Solutions, who has spent over a decade giving
consultative advice to governments and institutions worldwide on maximizing
control room displays.

Processing power is, of course, key. “Every display was linked with Phoenix. You
could see how it can really solve your content mobility on absolutely all displays –
and in unison – even beyond the boundaries of the control room walls to remote,
shared viewing. If you wanted a screen showing in the board room, or at a different
office location, at the same time, we could give you that.’ adds Griffiths. ‘The
recent Phoenix upgrade means it’s the same cost but even more value and
additional processing ability so you can expand the capability of your control room
content.’

At Intersec Christie partnered with Lund Halsey. “Lund Halsey provided great
Control Room technical furniture so you could see complete control room solutions
in a real application setting,’ said Griffiths.

Amongst the other displays linked by Phoenix were industry favourites including 1 x
HD70DLP EnteroHB Cubes with rear access projection, a proven technology for over
a decade and upgradeable too now featuring even higher efficiency – brighter than
previous cubes and using less energy. There was a 4×1 array of MicroTiles which
give high resolution, with a tiny footprint ideal for small spaces or large video walls
and, as Griffiths emphasizes, “They give true 24/7 use in control rooms. If you want
no burn, no damage, seamless displays, MicroTiles sit between flat panels and large
DLP cubes. So, we offer everything depending on your exact requirement.’
