2013-03-10

NEW YORK, NY, March 10, 2013 (Press-News.org) Christie leaves Digital Signage Expo (DSE) on a high note, with a Silver Apex award under Business, Industry and Government category for its digital signage display of Christie MicroTiles in the company's new West Wing building expansion. The iconic display in its Kitchener, Ontario corporate office intersects technology, architecture and artistic design. Working with Arsenal Media, SRM Architects and rp Visual Solutions, it features sophisticated architectural integration and a unique technology solution to drive the 70Mpx creative canvas created for the company's Artist-In-Residence Programme and other content development partners.

"Each year, DSE award winners reveal what's current and evolving in digital signage and mobile media development, deployment and content creation," stated Sean James, vice president of Managed Services, at Christie. He adds, "To create custom digital signage installations and content that engage consumers and visitors means working collaboratively with experts in various fields who use today's advanced technology. Christie congratulates all partners in integration, installation, content and architectural design who received 2013 DSE Apex and Content awards."

At the DSE awards ceremonies on February 27, several Christie products were featured in partners' winning entries. The Apex awards honor innovation in the development and deployment of technology in the global digital out-of-home networks (DOOH) industry, while the Content awards honor innovative and compelling content created for digital signage in the DOOH networks.

Including Christie's Silver Apex award for the company's lobby digital signage, partners collectively took home 10 awards in four categories which included Christie visual display products.
