McCann Systems, an innovative design-build audiovisual firm, will unveil the new and fully digital display system for the MarketSite television broadcast studio and will ring in the NASDAQ’s Market Opening on Monday, July 21st at 9:00 am. 

Serving as the epicenter for NASDAQ news and events, MarketSite is located in the heart of New York's Times Square.  In celebration of these new audio visual elements within the MarketSite broadcast studio and in acknowledgement of innovative AV integration and collaboration, representatives from McCann Systems and Christie Digital Systems have been given the honor of presiding over the Market Open.  Representing McCann Systems, Jonathan Shor (Director of Technology), Ken Newbury (Project Manger) and Cory Crawford (Sales Manager) will be in attendance as well as Jack Kline, President and COO of Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc. and Gerry Remers, President and COO of Christie Digital Systems Canada, Inc.

McCann Systems collaborated with Christie Digital Systems, a digital projection and screen manufacturer, to design and retrofit custom Christie screens and projectors and replace the existing analog head-end system with a completely new 100% digital system.  The showcase of the MarketSite studio, an impressive 44-foot long by 14-foot high wall of rear-projection monitors was completely replaced with custom screens by Christie Digital Systems.

Since NASDAQ is renowned for up-to-the-second market news, there were obvious concerns about any downtime needed for this complete AV over-haul.  McCann Systems accommodated their design and implementation to have virtually no impact on the ongoing broadcast of approximately 100 live market updates, including CNBC, Bloomberg TV, Reuters, NDTV Profit, CNBD India, Business Week TV and other financial networks.
