Christie Launches its First Mobile App - Christie InControl

Christie unveils the Christie InControl projector mobile app for applicable iOS devices at InfoComm 2013 this week in booth 2521. Christie InControl is aimed at rental and staging customers using Christie three-chip DLP M Series and J Series projectors in various applications including trade shows, live events, and projection mapping. Fixed installation applications such as classrooms and boardrooms, houses of worship, government facilities, and museums will also enjoy the convenience of controlling the projector wirelessly.

"Christie InControl gives users fingertip projector management of single or multiple projectors from their personal iPad, iPod, or iPhone device over Wi-Fi" said Joel St-Denis, value add product manager, Christie. "Users can scan for available projectors on their local Wi-Fi network to add them to a group, or to manually type in the IP address of the desired projector.
