Christie Debuts New 55″ LCD with Gorilla Glass

Here at InfoComm, Christie is launching the next generation of its Jumpstart and a new 55″ video wall using multiple FHD551-X — a 55″ LCD made with Corning Gorilla Glass, and the company’s first multi-touch video wall solution. An industry first with what Christie says is the smallest image-to-image gap of any bonded LCD monitor, the Christie Multi-touch Video Wall Solution comprises a 4-unit wide by 1-unit high row of portrait-mounted 55-inch LCD panels with bonded Corning Gorilla Glass, Christie Interactivity Kit, Christie Jumpstart, and the mounting hardware for a wall-mounted or freestanding display.

Christie Jumpstart now provides additional flexibility with six outputs (compared with four previously) and a 50 percent increase in resolution capability — now 15 megapixels. The content management system allows you to display multiple, high-bandwidth video files, graphics, Microsoft Windows applications, Blu-ray and DVD movies and text on a large-format video wall. Christie says it’s compatible with any digital display.

Christie JumpStart features a 3.6 GHz processor, 16 GB memory and 64-bit server for even faster performance and a more powerful workstation. Users can also send serial over IP commands to external devices by scheduling them at any point along the scenario timeline.

Christie FHD551-X with Corning Gorilla Glass is the first 55-inch super-narrow bezel LCD display for tiled video walls with bonded Corning Gorilla Glass.

Both the FHD551-X and the Jumpstart will ship in July and are here.
