Videowall mounts for imaginative installers PEERLESS-AV
Given the current proliferation of digital signage across a wide range of markets and locations, Peerless-AV believes that it is becoming increasingly important to attempt to stand out from the crowd. To this end, the company says that its new Mosaic Video Wall mount (DS-VWM770) enables imaginative installers and integrators the opportunity to do just that and create striking and impactful display arrangements. With universal mounting for 46in to 70in flat panels and complete 360° rotation in 15º increments, there is said to be no limitation to the endless array of
Peerless-AV ‘Quick Release’ mounts make recessed displays more accessible
configurations that can be created. Ten points of tool-less micro adjustment enable the fine-tuning required to deliver a seamless videowall appearance in any orientation, while the articulating arm extension from the wall
allows for quick and convenient rear display access and servicing. In addition, Peerless-AV is launching a range of ‘Quick Release’ videowall mounts at ISE, designed to offer added convenience in accessing mid- array and recessed displays. This spring-loaded push mechanism can be restricted with a locking screw when not needed and the carriage extension force can be adjusted to accommodate different weights of screens. Three versions will be available in the UK and Europe, with both portrait and landscape for up to 65in panels and a super-size model for displays up to 95in. Stand: 11-H58
