Christie extends Phoenix product family with processing for flat-panel displays

September 15, 2016

Christie, a provider of visual and audio experiences, is expanding its Phoenix family of products with the launch of the Phoenix EP (Embedded Image Processor), according to a company press release.

A compact, highly scalable solution for managing content on single or multiple panels, the Phoenix EP installs directly into compatible Christie displays and connects directly to a network using CATx cable. One Phoenix EP processes networked sources, decodes and manages audiovisual and data sources on up to two Christie LCD panels. Phoenix EP streamlines system designs and eliminates requirements for AV extension and distribution equipment, the release said.

"Phoenix EP and Christie flat panels make a great choice for customers looking for a powerful solution that is easy-to-install and cost-effective," said Karl Johnson, senior product manager for Christie. "Phoenix EP uses zero installation space, and it simplifies an installation by using a network to transport all content. Christie Phoenix systems, including Phoenix, Phoenix EP and Phoenix Quad T, streamlines project design, eliminating the need for audiovisual distribution and extension equipment. This simplifies the installation process and increases reliability."

The company said Phoenix EP is ideal for video walls, digital signage displays and AV distribution systems. It will be available in November.
