We are proud to announce an enhanced service offering for the UK AV trade, adding de-rig and reinstallation support to Christie’s established five-year CDXchange advance replacement programme.
The enhanced service is available for eligible Christie 1-chip and 3-chip DLP projectors and is designed to further minimise downtime and disruption for end users in the event of a critical projector issue.
Under the CDXchange programme, eligible customers benefit from an advanced replacement solution designed to keep installations operational. Visualization will now complement this with the engineering capability to de-rig and reinstall the projector at no additional cost, providing customers with a complete replacement and installation support service.
In the first year of ownership, should an eligible projector experience a critical issue, Visualization will immediately arrange shipment of a new replacement projector. Its engineering team will then manage the de-rig and reinstallation process, helping to return the installation to operation as quickly as possible.
For subsequent years of the programme, customers can choose either a factory-refurbished replacement unit of the same vintage or elect to retain their original projector and have it repaired. Where repair is selected, Visualization will provide a loan projector to minimise disruption and allow the customer to continue operating while the original unit is being serviced.
Nick Pidgeon, Managing Director of Visualization comments “The de-rig and reinstallation service builds on Christie’s already impressive CDXchange programme. Visualization has the engineering bandwidth and extensive knowledge of the Christie projector product line to underpin our ability to deliver this service. By taking care of the de-rig, replacement and reinstallation, we can give customers an additional level of reassurance and help them get back up and running with minimal disruption.”
Miles Donovan, Sales Director, EMEA, adds “Visualization, as part of the VueAV group, is the largest Christie distributor in EMEA. As such, they have both the extensive product knowledge and resources to offer a de-rig and reinstallation service to the UK trade. This enhancement demonstrates the additional value Visualization can bring to Christie customers and gives the market even greater confidence in the support available throughout the lifecycle of their projection systems.”
The enhanced offering reinforces Visualization’s commitment to supporting the UK AV trade beyond product supply, combining Christie’s CDXchange programme with its specialist engineering expertise and service infrastructure.
