V-Towers, Portable LED Screen Support

  • PDF

The V-Tower is a four-legged, insect-looking video tower --and when completely erected, the bottom of the screen can reach as high as 3 meters (10 feet).

V-Towers

At almost 2 meters (6.5 ft) high and 78.7cm (31 inches) wide in its stowed position, the V-Tower’s small footprint allows for standard doorway entries and can even fit the ride on elevators. It probably fits into spaces you probably never thought of putting an LED screen.

Designed for easy set up (about 8 minutes), it’s used in USA mainly for the rental and staging industry. “It’s important to remember V-Towers were not created to replace mega screens. It’s a portable LED screen support system that opens up new possibilities,” says the maker, Upstage Video.

The maker suggests you use it at concerts and festivals, parades and rallies, TV broadcasting, experiential marketing events—and outdoor events. For example, in Europe when World Cup season comes and everyone is rolling out screens.

Edbak Brings New Products-- and a Taste of Poland to ISE 2016

  • PDF

Edbak TotemLocation, location, location.

You often hear this praise for geography in retail and other customer facing industries. Why should it be any different for the makers of those universally-in-demand display & projector mounts, video wall mounts, totems, stands and carts?

Certainly one ISE exhibitor is very proud of the advantages of its location. Edbak often cites its factory base of Poland as one of the main reason for its success.

It's not just that Poland is known for its industriousness and work ethic-- or for its affordable manufacturing base. More important is the central location in Europe that gives it easy access to most of Europe.

Edbak Stand

The combination of factors gives Edbak an ability to attract customers looking for European quality and tired of Asian or intercontinental shipping costs.

Unlike importers, Edbak is a manufacturer (ISO9001 certified ISO9001 by TUV Rheinland) and therefore can offer the services of its in-house R&D department in Poland to design bespoke solutions (using Autodesk Inventor and Solidworks 3D designing software). They even have an in-house testing laboratory with CMM machines.

It's 11 years for Edbak with appearances at ISE, and the company is exhibiting with its largest stand ever.

On the new Edbak stand, Hall 1-N120, Edbak will be showing its wide range of video wall mounts, tablet stands, display stands & carts, pin pad mounts and newly-designed totems—looking for international distributors and integrators who want to represent the brand.

Edbak is constantly innovating, so you can find unique designs for totems, videoconferencing trolleys, or its pop-out large multi-screen video wall mount (also tested by TUV Rheinland laboratory and awarded what the company believes is the industry’s only product safety certificate for this category of product).

Edbak range

But one can’t underestimate the attraction of product customization. Corporate buyers appreciate tablet stands that bear their own beloved logos. Service companies like the fact that their trolleys can bear a brand. Edbak promotes this service, along with the fact this work requires close collaboration with clients—the type of service where Europeans who understand the local markets make better communicators and collaborators.

The only location that Edbak values almost as much as its national one is perhaps its place in Hall1…the most-coveted of all RAI halls and distinguished with the presence of many of the most important companies in the industry.

Find your way there and you’ll find Edbak treating the industry press to…you guessed it, a bag of authentic Polish drinks and snacks that reflect Edbak’s heritage. Let’s call it “a taste of Poland.”

New Extendable Ceiling Mounts from Peerless-AV

  • PDF

Peerless-AV

Peerless-AV offers a new line of ceiling mounts for flat panel displays and projectors.

“Our new ceiling mounts are particularly suited to settings previously regarded as unsuitable for display and projector solutions because use of nearby walls is problematic,” says Gordon Dutch, MD Peerless-AV. “Now installers and integrators can address the visual requirements of dental practises, healthcare facilities, retail stores, corporate meeting rooms and home theatres with ceiling mounts that enable flexible placement and deliver an attractive finish.”

The new line consists of the ST940-EXA/B/C(-W) SmartMount Ceiling Mounts, PJF3-UNV(-W) (Flush Mount) and PJF3-EXA/B/C(-W) SmartMount Projector Mounts and PRG3-EXA/B/C SmartMount Precision Gear Projector Mounts.

With features including light-weight column with three different extension lengths, tool-less height adjustment and internal cable management, the mounts are designed to be quick to install and easy to maintain in a wide range of architecturally-challenging applications.

Available in black or white finish, the ST940 mount series comes in three different length sizes: A (420-547mm), B (547-781mm), or C (757-1192mm), supporting displays up to 40" with a maximum load capacity of 25kg. The mount comes pre-assembled with a Hook-and-Hang system, tool-less height adjustable column, 20° tilt and 360° swivel making it easy to set up and maintain in any room. Landscape or portrait mounting options also increase installation versatility. The ceiling plate cover provides an attractive finish whilst concealing internal routing of cables.

The PJF3 series of ball-and-socket-style mounts for projectors up to 24.9kg has four extension lengths (Flush, A, B, or C) to choose from, allowing the projector to be placed anywhere between 330mm-1092mm from the ceiling. Its Spider Universal Adaptor Plate extends up to 448mm to fit most projector models. A single adjustment point on the mount offers ±20° Pitch, ±10° Roll and 360° Swivel fine-tune adjustments without tools during installation. Its intuitively designed quick-release thumbscrew also enables the installer to remove the projector from the mount when maintenance is required. PJF3 mounts are available in black or white finish. EXA/B/C models also include a ceiling plate cover with cable management.

Using the same sleek column design and feature set as the PJF3, the PRG3 series of precision gear style projector mounts fits projectors up to 24.9kg. Mounts are available in black or white finish.

The new ST940 and PJF3 ceiling mounts are manufactured from aluminium making them 60% lighter than traditional steel designs. They are also UL certified for safe and reliable operation. All models are now available in EMEA through Peerless-AV’s distributor and reseller partners.

  • PDF

Chief SYSAUW

Chief announces a new suspended ceiling projector system designed to cut install time by one-third.

The new design incorporates an improved suspended ceiling plate, column system, mount and universal interface.

For speed and accuracy of adjustment, a new mount was created that builds upon the breakthrough successes of the CMS440 suspended ceiling tile kit and Chief’s award winning projector mounts. The RPT mount’s absolute image control adds Tool-Free Microzon adjustment with a positive drive system to keep adjustments in place once set – no need for set screws.

The SYSAUW Suspended Ceiling Projector System comes out of the box in the order needed with the mount and column preassembled. The adjustable ceiling plate allows placement above or below tile and accommodates inconsistent T-grids. A detachable electric plate can be sent to the electrician for pre-wiring.

Centris Technology enables fingertip positioning with new tool-free lock down. The adjustable 0-12” column has separate inlay channels for high and low voltage cables. The improved universal interface easily locks/unlocks at the projector connection. Quick-disconnect from interface to projector and interface to mount for easy access while maintaining registration.

The SYSAUW Suspended Ceiling Projector System will launch at the end of Q4, 2015.
