Meanwhile, its highly colour-ac- curate performance makes it ideal for media / post-produc- tion applications, while the huge visual surface, reliable 24/7 operation and mainte- nance-free operation makes it particularly suitable for control room operations. Like all other display mod- els in the P Series range, the new P754Q features advanced imaging performance, with ad- vanced settings of all relevant visual parameters – including brightness, colour, gamma and uniformity – via the Spectra- View Engine for precise, natural

Cloud-Based Monitoring Platform from RTI


RTI has announced that its RTiQ intelligent remote mon- itoring solution is now avail- able for free to RTI dealers. A complete remote management solution for RTI systems, the cloud-based RTiQ makes it sim- ple for dealers to monitor their clients' AV installations, get re- al-time notifications of failures, and quickly resolve issues with the touch of a button. RTiQ can be configured to mon- itor RTI control ecosystem and components controlled by an RTI XP control processor. Deal- ers can monitor the status of these devices via a dashboard from anywhere in the world and receive email and text notifica- tions that alert them if a failure occurs. Once alerted, the dash- board helps them identify the cause of the issue and allows custom actions to be triggered to restore the failed system or component. Customisable actions include anything the control system is capable of, whether it's rebooting devices, running macros, or sending commands.


Easily configured using RTI's Integration Designer APEX pro- gramming software, RTiQ gives dealers the tools they need to deliver a better experience to their customers. System down- time is dramatically reduced since RTiQ eliminates the need for service calls to address simple issues such as locked- up components. Furthermore, with email and text alerts, these issues can often be re- solved before the client is even aware of them.


"RTI dealers are activating sys- tems at a fast pace. After being live for only a few weeks, we have more than 1,500 systems currently reporting into RTiQ," said Mike Everett, Vice Presi- dent of Global Sales, RTI. "RTiQ is enabling dealers to take cus- tomer service to the next level. The bottom line is lower costs and happy customers."


surface as the rest of the P Series family, but on a much larger scale.


The 75” screen provides stun- ning UHD “pixel-free” viewing and is perfect for a range of environments and applications from digital signage, public space advertising (DooH), pas- senger information in airports and rail stations, and in retail.

Getronics has acquired ITS Overlap, one of the leading French ICT integrators and a subsidiary of the ITS Group (Euronext: ITS.PA). ITS Over- lap, with 5 locations across France, has a turnover of €50m per year, serving 400 custom- ers. As one of the historic play- ers in the French ICT market, the digital services provider focuses primarily on delivering and optimising customer IT in- frastructures for medium-sized companies, specialising in dig- ital integration and transforma- tion.

For the clients and partners of ITS Overlap, too, Getronics was the best project.
