Chief Offers New Interactive Solutions for Ceiling-Mounted Projectors and Flat Panel Display (28/9/2012)

New accessories instantly add interactivity; now available in EMEA region

Chief, an industry leader in mounts, racks and interactive solutions, announces that its new interactive ceiling-mounted projector solution and interactive flat panel solution are now shipping to the EMEA region.

Flexible and future-proof, the CMSI interactive accessory easily converts an existing ceiling-mounted projector into a robust interactive platform. With a built-in sensor, the accessory mounts on the wall above an existing dry erase board, and its aesthetic design and brushed aluminum finish blends into any environment.

The FCI accessory installs with FUSION® Series flat panel mounts, and the PACI adds interactivity to displays using Q-Latch Series swing arm mounts and mobile carts and stands. The accessories are engineered for easy installation with a design similar to Chief side speaker adapters. The accessory works with 40-55" LED-backlit LCD displays with a rigid front panel.

These are the latest solutions in Chief’s award-winning interactive product line powered by eBeam® Technology from Luidia Inc.

Each interactive solution includes a lightweight, ergonomic stylus featuring exceptional, real-time rendering capabilities. Simply add the accessory, install the interactive software and connect a PC or Mac to the receiver via the provided USB.

The universal compatibility of Chief mounts provides the flexibility to choose your own technology, and allows you to upgrade your projector or flat panel at any time in the future without having to pay for interactive capabilities all over again.

"Technology changes quickly,” said Derek Derks, Chief’s Business Development Manager, “but by placing interactivity in the mount, you have a flexible and long-term solution ready for future technologies and upgrades. I’m most excited about the possibilities for our partners to create powerful interactive meeting and training spaces that are accessible for everyone."

The new interactive accessories join Chief’s Interactive Short Throw Projector Mount, launched in April 2011.
