Flex Those Mounts Many AV installations are planned for the summer and project planning needs to include AV mounting solutions. UC Advanced spoke to Thomas Fenton, Director of Technical & Product Development, EMEA, Peerless-AV for some good advice and insights on AV mounts.
AV installations are planned for the summer, especially in the Education sector where classrooms are not in use, and in the Corporate sector when employees are away from offices on their summer holidays. The flatscreens brands and sizes have hopefully been selected and the budget makes provision for mounts that enable the equipment to be displayed in the best possible position and safe for all to see and use. Important factors to consider When picking AV mounts and mobile display trolleys for today’s hybrid work environments, it is important to consider the flexibility these solutions provide. For example, in a corporate meeting space where video conferencing is needed, a mobile display trolley allows employees to move a largescale, interactive display from room to room. It also allows for interaction with the display while on- camera and easy communication with remote employees. This also allows any room to become a meeting space quickly and easily. The display is not required to be used within only one meeting room being mounted to a wall. It provides the flexibility needed for in-office employees to collaborate with remote employees from any open meeting space. With regards to handling of Professional displays, it’s fairly obvious that the larger size you go, you will need to ensure that weight is distributed over a larger surface.

! UL safety certification UL certification is a safety certification that meets specific safety standards and provides assurance of quality, reliability, and compliance with market regulations. It is particularly important for electrical and electronic devices. For offices that are looking for a more permanent mounting solution that allows for mass collaboration of in-office and remote employees, largescale dvLED video walls are another popular solution making waves in the corporate space. This option may not be ideal for every corporation, however, for corporations are available for the latest ultrawide and ultra large format displays that offer the highest levels of UL safety certification both during installation and when in-situ. Typically, a 55” screen is a two-man lift for the awkwardness of the size but in modern times the lift is more manageable for a single person. Also, quality mounting solutions will come with easy hang hardware that helps facilitate a quick and easy one person install.
