Custom Audio-Visual Solutions On Demand
In the world of audiovisual (AV) systems, the right equipment can make all the difference. When it comes to AV carts, safety, mobility, and flexibility are paramount. Beth Peterson, Director of Product Management at Chief, a Legrand | AV brand, emphasizes the importance of understanding the needs of both integrators and end-users in driving innovation in racks and mounts.
Essential Features for AV Carts
When evaluating AV carts, several key features should be considered. Safety is a top priority, with UL weight rating and tip testing ensuring the cart can handle the weight of the equipment it's carrying. A wide wheelbase and smooth rolling, locking casters promote mobility, making it easy to move the cart from room to room.
Organization tools like power outlets and cable management systems help keep the setup tidy and prevent potential tripping hazards. A slim build also contributes to the cart's mobility, allowing it to fit through narrow doorways and tight spaces.
Innovations in Racks and Mounts
Innovations in racks and mounts are making them more versatile and user-friendly. Sleeker, slimmer designs and more modular configurations allow for greater flexibility in setup. Integrated cable management, power outlets, and easily adjustable builds further streamline the installation process.
Configurable X/Y/Z alignment tools and tool-less hanging systems make it easier to align the mount with the display and reduce the need for additional tools during installation.
Streamlining Installation Processes
To streamline the installation process, Joe Wentworth, Senior Product Manager at Peerless-AV, recommends a five-step process. This includes standardizing mounting and height templates, pre-assembling whenever possible, and utilizing leveling features and micro-adjustments.
Gathering accurate measurements and weight calculations before installation can help avoid alignment errors and ensure the mount can safely support the display. Tools like the Chief Mountfinder, provided by Chief, eliminate guesswork in compatibility, making the buying process smoother.
Solutions for Mobility and Flexibility
For those requiring a mobile solution, the Crimson AV M90XL heavy-duty mobile cart offers multiple shelves, height adjustability, cable management, and easy transport. Built-in adaptability tools such as quick-connect and release clamps, micro-tilt adjustability, and alignment tools further aid in making future adjustments more efficient.
Durable and Reliable Outdoor Solutions
For outdoor applications, solutions like the Chief Velocity outdoor triple pedestal system and the Daktronics Velocity modular outdoor display podium system provide robust, weather-resistant mounting solutions. These systems support popular outdoor displays from Samsung and LG and are designed for drive-thru menu boards and wayfinding signage.
Features like open-back wall plates and internal wire channels allow for easy cable routing and future maintenance without having to remove the entire system.
Quality and Safety as Priority
Chief prioritizes the quality and safety of its products, ensuring they meet UL tip standards and are built to last. The Chief pullout extension accessory can attach to several of Chief's standard wall mounts, allowing for easier troubleshooting.
In the world of AV systems, the right equipment can make all the difference. By considering key features, innovations, and streamlined installation processes, integrators and end-users can find the perfect solutions for their needs.
