Christie Phoenix provides seamless collaboration for the global workplace

Christie Phoenix consists of one or more hardware nodes and web-based management software connected through a standard IP network. Using the powerful Christie Phoenix, security and surveillance operations, utility companies, government institutions, along with transportation and telecommunications centers, can make quicker and more accurate life-critical decisions, and share appropriate data even in the most challenging of environments. Christie Phoenix is renowned for ease of use and its ability to encode, decode and simultaneously display over 1000 video sources on multiple displays walls using multiple desktops.

Christie Brio - the future of collaboration
The award-winning Christie Brio family of meeting presentation and collaboration solutions allow users to connect, collect and share content through a single unit. The family includes Brio Team, Brio Team+ and Brio Enterprise. At SecureTech, Christie will display Brio Team+, with an integrated wireless access point that eliminates the need for apps or additional hardware to mirror the full desktop of tablets, phones or laptops as 30 fps HD video sources in a collaboration session. Ideal for meeting spaces in corporate, academic and government facilities, Brio Team+ displays high quality video content at native resolutions through DVI video inputs that support video output sources 2560 by 1600 at 30 Hz or 1920 by 1080 at 60 Hz with HDCP.

Christie Flat Panels - Ideal fit for control rooms
Today's security and surveillance systems going beyond basic displaying and monitoring and Christie flat panels deliver the image clarity and versatility needed in control room environments.

The booth features the Christie FHD552-X LCD flat panel. This 55-inch ultra-narrow bezel (only 3.5mm when tiled) flat panel display offers full HD resolution, high pixel density, and LED-backlit screen so images look sharp at any distance - all with energy-efficient operation and low cost of ownership.

Christie flat panels are installed in numerous control rooms and operations centres, including FishNet Securities, the largest independently-owned, privately-held information security solutions provider in the United States with clients in the energy, financial services, government, healthcare and retail sectors. Using Christie MicroTiles and Christie JumpStart content management tool, the large video wall displays intelligence data and surveillance video along with dashboard information -- service tickets, the number of active service calls and service calls handled per person. The SOC at FishNet also serves as a showroom for clients and Christie MicroTiles can be used to display engaging 3D and interactive content.
