Christie Interactivity Kit

Low-cost, high performance modular interactivity solution

Overview

 

As previewed at InfoComm 2011  

Available in early 2012 and most recently demonstrated as a technology preview at InfoComm 2011 in Orlando and IBC 2011 in Amsterdam, the Christie Interactivity Kit is a complete solution that provides you with the creative flexibility to incorporate multipoint touch interactivity into your display. With the addition of the Christie Interactivity Kit and the Christie JumpStart content management solution, we’re broadening our Christie MicroTiles solutions system to help meet the needs of customers across many markets.

 Multitouch interactivity in an easy kit!

The Christie Interactivity Kit is a low-cost, high-performance solution for adding multitouch interactivity to your display. The kit is quick to assemble – even out in the field-, fits practically any size of Christie® MicroTiles® display, is easily integrated, and offers affordable, responsive multitouch performance.

Setting up interactivity for large format MicroTile displays can be a custom design process that’s complex, expensive, slow and cumbersome. Sometimes the touch technology doesn’t offer the desired level of performance in terms of the number, accuracy or responsiveness of touch points.

The Christie Interactivity Kit changes all that. Cost and complexity aren’t a concern anymore. Now you have the creative flexibility to incorporate multipoint touch interactivity into your display.

Breakthrough technology…out of the box

The Christie Interactivity Kit attaches to the perimeter of any large arrayed display (up to 16 by 6 MicroTiles) and plugs into your media server’s USB port. Our breakthrough technology lets multiple users interact simultaneously with a rectangular video wall, with the resolution and speed needed to support finger-based gestures such as flicking, pinching, rotating and scrolling.

Windows 7 automatically recognizes the Christie Interactivity Kit’s software as a touch interface, making set up extra easy.

Scalable and affordable

The Christie Interactivity Kit technology works on different sized displays and scales to add more and more touch points as the display grows. For example, a display 8 modules wide has 12 touches and a display 16 modules wide has 24 touches.

The overall cost per square foot for the whole display decreases as the number of modules increases.
