As an exhibitor, you need to manage your content files, playlists, automation cues, Key Delivery Messages (KDMs) and hardware diagnostics, ensuring each screen in your fully-digital multiplex shows what you want, when you want it. Christie^® Avias-TMS™ Theater Management System helps by providing simple and efficient centralized management of a multiplex’s entire projection operation.

Through a user-friendly Web interface, you can create and schedule screen playlists with easy drag-and-drop functionality, monitor the status of all your screens and manage your KDMs from a single location. Christie Avias-TMS is OS and hardware neutral and fully supports any DCI-compliant projectors and servers¹, which allows Christie Avias-TMS to be integrated seamlessly into your existing theater system setup. Christie Avias-TMS provides a rich Application Program Interface (API) for point-of-sale integration of automatic schedule creation software within the TMS, reducing the time and energy needed to maintain two different systems.

With Christie Avias-TMS, you can easily manage your content from one location and be sure it will show on time and without interruption.

Playback monitoring

• Use the dashboard interface to see the projector and screen status, what’s showing on each screen and the overall progress of each playlist playback for each screen in your multiplex.
• Monitor and display projector status such as operational status, lamp life and dowser position.
• Proactive, playback issue reporting communicates expiring KDMs, overlapping schedules, playlists with problematic content or missing KDMs – all issues that would stop a show.

Centralized control

• Centralized playlist creation gives you the ability to build a playlist once and push it to any screen server, anytime.
• Remotely start, stop or pause any show on any screen from one location.

Playlist creation and scheduling

• Drag-and-drop playlist and schedule creation with easily identifiable color-coded content types.
