MICROTILES DESIGNER™

MICROTILES CALCULATOR

In a few steps you can see how your design will look in your space, create a simple reference diagram, and generate a bill of materials so that you can order everything that you need.

The MicroTiles Calculator is a quick and simplified online version of the downloadable MicroTiles Designer. Use it to get a better sense of the capabilities and application of Christie’s MicroTiles for your digital display requirements.

With an intuitive interface, the Designer beta version software delivers a simulated visual representation of a MicroTiles display in your environment. Simply import dimensions and an image of your intended display, add still or video content and watch as your environment comes to life with MicroTiles. Move it around, add or remove tiles and the simulation changes as you manipulate the size and shape of your array.

MicroTiles Designer even tells you the energy consumption of the display, how much it will weigh and shows you the optimal way to wire the tiles together. All these features ensure the system you get is the system you want and the system you need.

Typical operating power consumption is estimated below at maximum calibrated brightness. When designing a cooling or electrical system, use the maximum design limit of 110W per tile to ensure a reasonable safety factor.

Brightness Power consumption can be controlled by adjusting the brightness level of the display. A maximum calibrated brightness of around 600 nits is achievable with the S300 screen at 70 watts per tile.
Per Tile If brightness and color matching is disabled, higher brightness and power levels are achievable, up to 110 watts per tile. When designing a cooling or electrical system, this maximum design limit of 110W should be used to ensure a reasonable safety factor. Refer to the MicroTile Specification and Application Guide for more details.

Number of MicroTiles
The MicroTiles online calculator can be used for displays up to 32 tiles width and 32 tiles high. To configure larger displays, please download the MicroTiles Designer software.

Physical Area
Physical dimensions and weights are based on display units and screens, and do not include accessories such as feet, brackets, or external control units.
