Why Use Control Room Solutions in Broadcast Television?

Digital television has created many new opportunities for broadcasters.

It also presents them the challenge of managing many more programming streams, sometimes from existing facilities with aging infrastructures that use CRT or LCD monitors.

These displays often suffer from image burn caused by static display elements and colour drift due to high colour temperatures, requiring daily maintenance and frequent replacement.

Moreover, information is displayed in a fixed configuration. Where monitors are placed determines where, how, and what information is seen by operators.

How do we help?

Christie’s broadcast monitoring solution uses DLP™ image processing* that doesn’t burn into displays or require repeated colour balancing, in part due to its inherent nature and Christie proprietary features like CCA™.

And are ideal for replacing aging CRT monitors allowing multiple feeds to be consolidated into a single display or across a near seamless display wall.

Production requirements differ with every broadcast, so operators need to configure and re-configure the display for optimum performance. Christie’s solution allows sources to be dynamically configured in both size and aspect ratio for 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 standard definition and HDTV or even multiple formats simultaneously.

The ability to manipulate the images in real-time or respond on queue or automated schedules makes Christie’s solution extremely versatile.

So broadcasters can monitor what they want, when and where they want it.
