Human Circuit Integrates New Technology Enhancements in Council Chambers and Work Session Rooms for the City of Fairfax

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) October 17, 2013

Human Circuit has been working to help the City of Fairfax enhance their community communications programs for over 20 years. As a long-term trusted technology advisor, Human Circuit was asked to help redesign the existing technology in the chamber to allow the television studio staff to be more efficient using intuitive and versatile controls for their audio visual and broadcast systems.

Upgrades were made to their broadcast and television production core as well as to the work session rooms using advanced audio visual, digital and high definition technology for presentation, audio conferencing and broadcast systems. This system was designed to allow council meetings, and other events held in the chambers, to be broadcast live on the city’s cable channel and streamed on the City of Fairfax website.

Rachael Roth, Cable TV Manager for Cityscreen-12 stated; “Since the early 90’s we’ve been able to rely on Human Circuit’s knowledge and innovative solutions. They’re on top of the latest technology and always find creative ways to enhance and use the equipment that we already have in place. They worked out a system that revamped and combined the old with the new and provided an infrastructure that focused on setting us up for future needs. Human Circuit’s engineers came up with a way to short cut the use of a third party data stream provider along with bulletin board software that not only saved us money but saved taxpayer money as well. These enhancements are the last step in making us a soon-to-be, totally HD station”.

The production core was upgraded to allow greater flexibility with both a local control panel and a web browser interface. Up to sixteen high definition sources and stored stills can now be switched on‐air and an enhanced, state-of-the-arts mixing console allows for individual fader control during a live event. The mixer includes a total of twenty‐four inputs (sixteen local and eight via expansion card) and a remote control with faders and mutes.

To enhance the on‐air capabilities of the system, Human Circuit recommended and installed a dual channel, automation package with a graphics system that will allow a wide variety of custom logos, crawls, DVE content, and other information to be displayed along with play-out of the City’s bulletin board.

Bruce Kaufmann, President and CEO of Human Circuit said; “The City of Fairfax has been a long term client for us, and we have a special working relationship that includes a mutual trust between our staff and theirs. They are confident in our ability to design and implement new technology solutions and our alliance is a model for a successful business relationship. They have no doubt that we share their mission to enhance communication to their citizens”.

Interbank Selects Wavetec Technology for Innovation in Its Service Areas

Lima, Peru (PRWEB) May 10, 2014

Interbank is one of the main financial institutions in Peru. Since its foundation in 1897, the company has been actively expanding with a focus on high-quality customer service-centered policy. Interbank is currently serving more than 2 million customers.

On the premise “customer is a person and not a number”, the need for changing customer service arose, where the new customer service would require a technological partner with the ability to offer a complete solution to the project’s requirements. In this context, Interbank chose Wavetec (http://www.wavetec.com) as a technological ally for the implementation of a centralized system including the installation of customized kiosks, Donatello’s digital signage solution for the announcements on LCD displays, and the eQ Portal application for complete management of the system and gathering of key performance indicators.

With a clear strategy to provide the brand with a human side and designed to improve customer relationship, Interbank proposed to make a radical change in its service areas. The main goal of this change was to build a new banking experience that brought together the company to its customers, in a collaborative and friendly environment that breaks the traditional view of the customers regarding banks. This new banking service model is already implemented in over 100 Interbank branches.

Wavetec is a multinational technology company based in Dubai that offers an ecosystem of solutions for the improvement of the service areas, meeting the company’s needs in organizing the influx of people, guaranteeing a valuable engagement experience, and obtaining relevant measures for the decision-making process so as to improve business results.

The Wavetec Queue Management Systems, Digital Signage and Customer Feedback measurements are located in different regions with applications in various areas and industries like hospitals, retail and banks. Some examples of the technology can be found on the BCI Chile, Barclays, Emirates Airlines, Tesco, LIDL and Chilexpress.

Christie is Front and Center at NAB 2014 with the Authoritative Visual Display Technology Line-Up

NAB/Las Vegas (PRWEB) April 05, 2014

Christie® continues its leadership in the visual display technology market at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas April 5-10. The exhibits open April 7, showcasing two connecting Christie booths featuring the latest 4K solutions including laser projection. The benefits of Christie Q Series, Christie Brio, large format LCD displays, 1-chip DLP® and 3-chip DLP® projectors, and more will be featured.

Laser Projection Summit Kicks off NAB

Don Shaw, Ph.D. and senior director of product management, Entertainment Solutions, Christie, will participate in the ‘Technology Summit’ on Cinema at 5:00 p.m. April 5 as part of the ‘Laser Illuminated Projectors’ panel discussion. The presentation will show how 3D light levels, color fidelity, image uniformity, viewing comfort, and a sense of immersion can be vastly improved using a 6P laser projection system, especially when combined with advanced color separation technology like Dolby 3D®, versus the conventional 3D systems found in cinemas today.

6P Laser Presentation at Christie Innovation Theater

The Christie Innovation Theater will demonstrate a 4K Christie Solaria 6P laser system using the world’s most efficient 3D technology and the industry-preferred image quality that doesn’t require a silver screen. Sure to be a show highlight, the 6P laser presentation provides a glimpse into the future of projection technology. Utilizing six specific primary colors, Christie laser projection technology brings dramatically improved 3D efficiency to projection systems and is ideal for any 3D display system.

The demonstration will use Dolby® 3D glasses specifically engineered to match the six primary laser light wavelengths and viewers will experience 3D Cinema as it was meant to be seen.

4K Solutions, Large Format LCD Display, New HD Christie Q Series and More

The Christie D4K2560 3-chip DLP® projector with the Christie TrueLife™ 4K platform will be showcased. When uncompromising image fidelity, brightness and resolution are needed in cinematic settings, amusement parks, casinos, or 3D visualization systems, the Christie D4K2560 is the clear choice; providing four times the resolution of 2K along with 60Hz.

A Christie broadcast set complete with Christie® MicroTiles® and content driven by the Christie Spyder X20 video processor will also be featured along with the North American debut of the Christie FHD651-T intuitive touch flat panels. With up to four simultaneous touches, the Christie FHD651-T provides superior touchscreen performance in a fully integrated package for meeting and classrooms, corporate spaces, museums, education, hospitality and retail, and more.

The Christie FHD551-W outdoor flat panel and the Christie FHD551-XG complete the large format LCD display solutions.

NAB also marks the North American debut of Christie Q Series, including the new Christie DHD951-Q HD that complements the existing, highly successful line. Similar to the rest of Christie Q Series, the HD version introduces 3G-SDI and includes eClarity™ advanced image processing that significantly enhances images by providing greater control over image sharpness, gloss and shading. With its sleek overall style and high-performance features, the Christie DHD951-Q provides superior image processing, versatility and affordability.

Also debuting in North America is the Christie DHD600-G. Part of the upgraded Christie G Series, it is suitable for demanding environments such as signage and museums delivering multi-projector blends onto curved surfaces seamlessly for a perfect image every time.

Christie Brio Share More, Accomplish More

The Christie FHD651-T flat panel seamlessly combines with the Christie Brio multi-site presentation and collaboration solution. Christie Brio featured in separate meeting rooms at the booth allows users to virtually meet, share information and collaborate effortlessly, overcome geographical distances, and eliminate the challenge of single and multi-site workplace meetings.

On the second floor of the Christie booth, the advantages of the 3-chip DLP® Christie Roadster HD20K-J and Christie HD14K-M projectors will be presented. Rugged and ideal for rental staging, both provide significantly higher return on investment and provide superior image quality compared to others in their class.

The benefits of Christie Entero HB 70-inch HD cubes will also featured along with a Christie® Phoenix™. With HD resolution and built on proven LED technology for long life, reliability and low cost of ownership, the front access design of the Entero cubes allows them to be positioned against a wall without compromising space limitations, performance or image quality in 24/7 control room environments.

Tiny Green PCs new fit-PC3i brings enhanced computing technology to signage, surveillance and telecommunications applications

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 4 April 2014

Tiny Green PC has launched the fit-PC3i; based on the tiny, robust, fanless, ultra-low-energy fit-PC3 compact computer, it brings superior graphics performance and excellent connectivity to digital signage, surveillance and telecommunications applications. The fit-PC3i offers all the features of the fit-PC3, enhanced with an on board SIM socket, integrated fit-Headless HDMI plug, dual GbE networking and CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) support for the dual HDMI graphics channels.

All of these features contribute to making the fit-PC3i ideal for its target applications. A SIM card and optional MiniPCIe cellular modem module allow mobile applications to communicate over cellular networks including 2G-GPRS-EDGE, 3G-HSPA and 4G-LTE. The dual GbE network ports allow redundant networks to be set up for more reliable and resilient communications links.

The Fit-PC3i offers an integrated fit-Headless plug for remote high resolution displays that can be set up easily. For digital signage and surveillance, the CEC capability over the HDMI channels allows users to operate multiple screens from one controller.

The fit-PC3i products are built around AMD’s Embedded G-Series Fusion 64-bit APUs with up to 16GB of DDR3-1333 memory, while Radeon HD processors provide outstanding graphics capabilities. A bay for a 2.5” SATA hard disk satisfies internal storage requirements. The front-mounted FACE module can be used for extended custom functionality or I/O options. Units can be supplied diskless or with Microsoft Windows 7 or Linux OS.

Graphics needs are covered by dual HDMI 1.4a display channels with CEC. Audio features include a Realtek HD audio codec, digital 7.1 S/PDIF, stereo line-in and stereo line-out channels. Comprehensive ‘out of the box’ I/O on all models includes: Dual Gigabit Ethernet; internal SIM socket; Bluetooth; four USB 2.0 ports and two internal mini PCIe sockets. MultiLAN versions of the Fit-PC3i also include 802.11b/g/n WiFi.

“The fit-PC3 range of tough, green, ultra-miniature PCs has been chosen for many different industrial applications over recent years,” says Viru Patel, Sales Manager at Tiny Green PC. “Now, the new fit-PC3i offers particular opportunities to signage, surveillance and telecommunications systems builders with its high graphics performance, rich I/O and extremely low power consumption.”

Following the strategic joint venture between andersDX and CompuLab announced early in 2011, the fit-PC3, exclusive to andersDX in the UK and Italy, can be supplied throughout Europe. More information can be found at http:http:http://www.andersdx.com/fit-pc3.
