The company also introduced 2D- and 3D-capable versions of the Mystique projection mapping system designed to simplify complex projection setups. More from Christie:
Built-on the phases of Design, Install and Operate, each facet of Mystique solves specific challenges that are encountered when fulfilling complex multi-screen, multi-projector blended systems such as those used in theme parks, dark rides, sports venue projection mapping, dome theaters and more. A full suite of software, hardware and services, Mystique removes the technological constraints of fulfilling complex multi-projector display systems. With Mystique, integrators can de-risk projects with pre-installation modelling and testing before any hardware is actually installed.
AV-over-IP solutions also had a presence at the booth, as Christie is a founding member of the SDVoE Alliance.
