Designed for 24/7 applications, the FHD493-XE offers panel matching and Christie Phoenix EP compatibility. Panel matching for colour and brightness means each panel ships pre-calibrated, and when used in video wall applications they stay on the same colour-scale. Integrated electronics support video wall scaling up to a 10x10 configuration, and 4K multi-stream transport across up to 4 panels is also built-in.
Designed for situations involving up to 3 languages, the ATUC-50INT places control in the hands of interpreters through a web-based remote conference management application. The control panel allows easy selection of headphone volume levels and the choice of floor or relayed language. Discussion participants can select between 3 interpretation channels on the ATUC-50DU discussion units, or the languages can be transferred to an existing language distribution system via ATUC-50CU control unit, whose on-board 4-channel recorder also allows multi-language discussion recording.
“We are shipping [10-nm chips] in low volume and yields are improving, but the rate of improvement is slower than we anticipated," CEO Bryan Krzanich says. "As a result, volume production is moving from the second half of 2018 into 2019. We understand the yield issues and have defined improvements for them, but they will take time to implement and qualify.”
