Working as a team has never been easier

In fast-paced business and academic environments
Christie® Brio offers presentation and collaboration
solutions that remove technical barriers to help business
professionals, teachers and students easily share, discuss
and contribute ideas. Bring group members together,
with up to five computers, smart phones, or tablets, by
wirelessly streaming content onto displays and channeling
audio through a meeting room or classroom’s sound system.

Groups can share content, edit in real time, save their work
and capture action items for quicker follow-up – avoiding
the challenges of traditional collaboration sessions. With
Christie Brio solutions, teammates make decisions quickly
and focus on what matters most. Participants are freed from
the constraints of meeting rooms, traditional classrooms
and cumbersome equipment, while having the option to
collaborate virtually across locations.

The Christie Brio family

Christie® Brio is available in three
different versions. With similar user
interfaces and control protocols,
all three versions of the Christie
Brio family provide an integrated,
collaborative user experience.

The Christie Brio family

Christie Brio Enterprise

Even in our digital age, information
sharing beyond a single room has
typically involved only a single source
at a time, eliminating one of the key
benefits of business and academic
teamwork: being able to synthesize
multiple sources of data into a
single solution. When you need to
collaborate securely and share high­quality content between multiple
locations, Christie Brio integrates
smoothly into a local area network
for access to Internet and network
services. Any content from devices
connected to Christie Brio units can
be shared across all the displays in
the same meeting, classroom or lab.
Regardless of geographic locations,
everyone sees the same information at
the same time. Christie Brio processes
high-quality video with sources playing
at full 1080p with HDCP support.
It can also support future wireless
transmission protocols by connecting
a receiver to a wired input.

Christie Brio Team

Simple to access and no training
required, Christie Brio Team is
targeted at classrooms, labs, team
rooms, huddle spaces and study
areas. Individuals can quickly connect
to the Brio unit or WLAN and wirelessly
share information with group members
in the same room. Featuring integrated
Wi-Fi® and AirPlay receivers, Brio Team
requires no additional drivers and
has no external dongles to buy,
break or lose.

Support a BYOD environment

Today’s business and education
environments rely on secure
information sharing while offering
flexibility in an individual’s device
choice. For academic teams and
businesses to succeed, they
require the most supportive
and enabling technology on the
market to allow them to use their
own network-connected devices.
Many of these devices are not
standard issue, and yet may be
used for gathering, developing
and sharing information and ideas.

Creating an infrastructure that
allows all of these devices to
network in a common session is an
ongoing challenge for IT managers.
By using wireless connection and
communication protocols that are
already part of the operating system,
Christie® Brio enables real-time
screen mirroring from participants’
Microsoft®, Apple, or Android™
computers and devices without
installing custom drivers.

Check out Christie Brio for your
next collaboration session and start
sharing more.

Christie Brio enables quick,

straightforward collaboration.

Christie Brio value-added features

Automatic content layouts

Effortlessly display content using
Christie® Brio. Simply connect to
a Brio unit and your content will be
automatically placed and scaled
on the classroom or meeting room
display, maintaining your content’s
aspect ratio and resolution.

Simple session management

Reduce time spent on logistics
and get your collaborative session
started quickly. While not required
for standard operation, Christie Brio
solutions offer session moderation
through a user interface that can be
accessed from the touch-enabled
meeting room panel or from any
web browser. The user interface
rearranges source layouts, controls
audio, opens up whiteboard sharing,
enables remote collaboration and
more advanced functions. You can
also remove sources from the
display without disconnecting the
sources. The interface may be
password protected to prevent
unauthorized use.

Whiteboard
If you’re looking for the most
interactive collaboration experience,
Christie Brio turns touch panels into
interactive whiteboards, allowing
participants to add to or edit an image
using various writing and drawing tools.
As ideas come together, participants
can map a new solution, highlight
action points on the fly, edit diagrams
or sketch out a project design. Unique
to the Christie Brio family is its ability
to share the same whiteboard in
real time among participants, in the
same or in different locations. The
whiteboard is also available through
a browser window on a contributor’s
personal device. Users can write or
sketch on the shared whiteboard,
upload and annotate images or save
the end result back to their personal
device for later use.

Annotation

Get everyone on the same page
with shared annotation. Similar
to the whiteboard feature, Brio also
enables annotation over any displayed
content, including video. The end
result may be saved as an image
for later use.

Audio

Christie Brio solutions connect
to a classroom or meeting room’s
sound system using standard jacks.
Presentation audio is streamed
through the wireless protocol and
may be connected to Brio through
physical inputs. Participants are able
to focus on the topic being discussed
rather than straining to hear audio
from computer or device speakers.

Each element of Christie Brio solutions was designed
with the user in mind – from device connection to
viewing content in-room or across locations.
