Wokingham, UK, 9th February 2010 – Christie®, a global leader in visual solutions for business, entertainment and industry, has proudly received the InAVation award for Most InAVative Commercial Display, won by the company’s Entero™ LED videowall solution.
The InAVation awards, now in their fourth year, were held on the 3rd February at the RAI Diamond Lounge during the ISE Exhibition in Amsterdam. Christie’s Entero came top of the group, which included many of its contemporaries, LED-powered display solutions, designed for command and control environments. The “Most InAvative Commercial Display” is traditionally one of the most popular categories. It received a high percentage from the total of over 14,000 cast across all the categories by pro AV industry professionals, via the multi-lingual awards site.
Entero is the world’s first LED-based SXGA+ and WUXGA resolution projection display system, purpose built for control room and videowall applications. The new Christie Entero LED is a pioneering, LED-illuminated, 1-chip DLP® product line that features a “zero maintenance” design. The LEDs are rated at more than 60,000 hours – almost seven years of dependable operation. With no consumable components such as lamps, filters or colour wheels to replace, the Christie Entero LED delivers the ultimate in uninterrupted, 24/7 performance for exceptional reliability and low cost of ownership. It marks a major new development in reliable, high-performance videowall solutions that are easier to maintain and more economical to operate.
