Solve those pesky and persistent installation conundrums with these new options in mounts, furniture, and connectivity accessories.
Go Ahead, Configure and Hang the Wildest Video Wall You Can Imagine
Chief has expanded its Fusion Modular Series multi-display solutions to include multi-row video walls. To create and order a completely custom setup, Chief’s mobile-friendly online configurator now offers 59 SKUs for multi-display ceiling-, wall- and floor-mounted options. Supporting menu board and video wall configurations, the configurator also provides users with the correct length of extrusion as well as the number and type of interface brackets and wall plates.
So Smart, It Practically Mounts Itself
Peerless-AV’s new SmartMount Supreme Full Service Video Wall Mount (DS-VW775) takes ease of installation and display alignment to the next level. Now 25 percent lighter and featuring new tool-less lateral micro-adjustments (1.5 inches of travel on X, Y, and Z axes) and convenient pop-out serviceability, the mount was designed especially for creating video walls in retail, transportation, and entertainment settings. The Supreme Mount offers reusable display-dedicated wall plate spacers, which can be used in both portrait and landscape configurations.
If You Can’t Sight it, LITE-It!
The new LITE-it from FSR Inc. provides instant lighting in floor, wall, and ceiling boxes, or anywhere a work light is needed. A timed circuit automatically turns LITE-it off after 75 seconds, and its anti-retrigger circuit prevents it from staying on even if the switch is held continuously. LITE-it's warm 3000K LED color for eye comfort provides over 13 Lumens of light output (20% more than a standard PR-2 flashlight bulb), and its super-efficient wide angle dual LEDs furnish a uniform lighting pattern with uniform brightness to the very end of battery life. Talk about a bright idea.

With tested designs now in place for Leyard TWA\TW Series, Samsung, and Silicon Core, Premier Mounts is prepared to innovate for all project types, sizes, and designs.
