Christie has announced the official launch of its Christie FHQ552-T, Christie FHQ842-T and Christie FHQ981-L flat panel digital signage displays. Previewed at InfoComm 2015, all three are designed to be suitable for meeting rooms, offices, lobbies and architectural displays, and can be banded with Christie Brio, Christie Spyder and the Christie Pandoras Box media server, the company said.

Available in October, the Christie FHQ552-T features 10-point touch capabilities, built-in speakers and an Open Pluggable Specification slot.

Replacing the FHQ841-T is the Christie FHQ842-T, an 84-inch display designed for large-format presentation and collaboration applications. With built-in 10-point multi-touch capability, the Christie FHQ842-T can be used in interactive applications or whiteboard and meeting room scenarios, the company said.

"Both models are plug-and-play, offer professional-grade durability for peace of mind and are compatible with Crestron or similar systems," said Andy Clipsham, senior product manager, Christie, in the announcement.

The Christie FHQ981-L 98-inch UHD display is designed to deliver "exceptional image quality, contrast and color-rich images for business, education, houses of worship, small control rooms and digital signage applications," the company said. The large display is intended to provide a seamless canvas and an alternative to traditional two-by-two tiled 46-inch displays, the company said, and the 98-inch flat panel is compatible with digital signage devices and media players including Christie Spyder and Christie Pandoras Box. The FHQ981-L is equipped with built-in speakers and multiwindow capability, along with an OPS slot for compatibility with digital signage devices and pluggable media players.

"This versatile ultra-HD flat panel display offers plug and play simplicity and manages up to four feeds simultaneously," Clipsham said.

Shipping in October 2015, all three Christie flat panels have a three-year warranty backed by Christie's service and support.
