Crimson AV Redesigns Menu Board Display Mount Solutions

Significantly reduces total cost of ownership as well as assembly, installation and alignment time

Fully Modular Multi-Display Menu Board Mount Designs by Crimson AV was unveiled at Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas in February 2014.

The Company utilized the Expo to unveil several new multi-display inline mounting solutions engineered specifically for the digital signage and commercial markets, for menu boards, signage, way finding, and more. Expanding on the Company’s mission to deliver professional-grade AV mounting solutions that are simple to specify, order and install, Crimson will unveil at DSE 2014 a host of new modular mounting solutions that were specifically designed for hospitality, entertainment, education, healthcare facilities, houses of worship, venues of any size, and a wide variety of commercial, pro and residential applications. Crimson AV has a unique value proposition and fills a much-needed niche. The Company not only provides a comprehensive TV and projector mount lineup of off-the-shelf solutions, it also specializes in custom-configured solutions designed to specification and suitable for virtually every type of audio-visual installation.

Newly redesigned fully modular solution

Newly Redesigned CML and CMP Inline Display and Menu Board Mounting System
The CML and CMP ceiling-mounted Menu Board Mount System has been redesigned to significantly reduce the assembly, installation and alignment time of inline multi-display arrays or menu board installations as well as to lower the total cost of ownership. A fully modular solution for mounting multiple displays from the ceiling in either landscape or portrait orientation, this new mount solution features Crimson’s simplified alignment design and post-installation leveling that makes perfecting the visual aesthetic a breeze, further reducing time spent on the job. To simplify the specification and ordering process, CML and CMP prices are based on the number of displays to be mounted, so systems designers need only to know the size and number of displays to be used as well as the orientation; Crimson will kit the complete mount system and ship it to the location requested in cartons that are easily managed by a single installer.

Crimson’s industry-leading 10-year warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee ensures that integrators and systems designers are provided much-needed peace of mind that they have chosen the right mounts for the job, and allows them to focus on the more technical aspects of the installation.

“We work closely with our customers to develop the solutions they need to solve a wide variety of installation challenges,” says Crimson President, Vlad Gleyzer. “Our new mount lineup provides the answer to many of the most cumbersome issues experienced when mounting displays for use in digital signage and other commercial applications. Designed to both simplify and expedite the design, assembly, installation, and alignment process, Crimson AV mounts will more than satisfy the needs of those seeking to source or specify innovative display mount solutions.”

Every product in Crimson’s comprehensive assortment is manufactured to rigorous standards, designed for maximum install efficiency, and sold for a fraction of the price of competitive solutions, making the line making the lineup a “must see” at trade shows and regional events.

Casio LampFree Projectors

Casio LampFree™ Projectors use a Hybrid Laser/Led Light Source that lasts up to 20,000 Hours,Giving You Crisp Clear Images and Rich Colors for years of maintenance free operation.

Up until now, any projector brighter than 2000 lumens has required a high pressure mercury lamp. Casio has announced what it says is the world’s first data projectors capable of delivering up to 4000 lumens in a well lit room that tick the green box by doing away with the use of mercury.

The Green Slim projectors light source uses blue light emitted by a blue laser, green light converted from blue laser light using a fluorescent element, and light emitted by a red LED through a DLP chip. The resulting light means a room no longer needs to be darkened for data projection, with Casio stating that the hybrid LED, laser and fluorescent light source improves the purity of color compared to traditional mercury lamps.

Maximum brightness is possible in eight seconds, with no cool down required, and an auto-correct function does away with vertical distortion should the projector be nudged. Energy efficiency is big on the agenda with Casio promoting the life of the lightsource to be approximately 20,000 hours – almost ten times that of conventional Casio projectors
