An important Christie’s Phoenix firmware upgrade

This firmware’s update provides integration with Milestone XProtect video management software
Christie announced a firmware update for Christie Phoenix content management systems, which is already available. The update offers new security operating modes ideal for standard and stringent security environments. Version 1.5 directly integrates with Milestone’s XProtect, a leading open platform IP video management software (VMS). Christie Phoenix obtains H.264 camera data directly from the XProtect recording server, and automated video wall control is initiated from the XProtect event server. Christie Phoenix is easy to integrate with XProtect, creating a unified solution for video management and control room operations.
Two new operating modes are available with this firmware update: standard security and stringent security. While most users will rely on the standard security mode, the stringent mode is ideal for high-security environments.
Christie Phoenix security enhancements enable client systems to comply with NERC/CIP requirements. Control rooms and operations centres, in public utilities, public services, security and surveillance, transportation and telecommunications, all benefit from the security features provided by Christie Phoenix.
“Phoenix content management systems provide exceptional security features including strong password management, encrypted connections, system configuration, logged data, system monitoring and threat notifications” – says Karl Johnson, senior product manager, Christie. “With the introduction of this firmware update, we’re building on a strong and secure base to offer Christie Phoenix customers the best system for monitoring critical system.”
