Chief adds new back covers to their lineup of aesthetic accessories: the Fusion Universal Back Covers hide exposed mount, cabling and other hardware for a cleaner look-- without the expense (or lead time) of custom cover solutions.
“Our partners have been asking for a universal solution to cover the backs of displays that would provide a more cost effective and better looking alternative than custom solutions,” Tony Caruso, Product Manager notes. “We’re glad to be able to offer that option.”
“This sleek, aesthetically pleasing cover is perfect for hotels, restaurants, airports and other public commercial areas,” adds Caruso. “Plus, we designed it to work wherever Chief Fusion ceiling mounts, carts, stands and freestanding video wall mounts are used.”
The Cable Lines are the Gold Line, Chromo Line, Anthra Line and Black Line. Each line offers technical and design features to meet the needs of a particular application. Thus, the Gold Line is designed for demanding industrial and AV, Chromo Line is suitable for prosumer and public-facing commercial applications, Anthra Line is perfect for professional AV applications and Black Line is developed for home and small office use.
Pro Video Instruments (PVI) has a compact solution to address HDMI video distribution via coax-- the VeCOAX MiniMod-2, a means to eliminate unnecessary cables while being simple and scalable.
InfoComm 2018 sees FIBBR debut the Ultra Pro series fibre optic flexible HDMI solutions, capable of sending signals from 50m to 200m with 18Gbps certification by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF).
Described by the company as the first fibre-based long reach 4K interconnect solution with THX certification, PXLGLASS delivers 100% uncompressed 4K signals and the full HDMI feature set. To do so it uses a unique copper/fibre hybrid cable implementation, with optical fibres carrying high-speed TMDS signals while copper-based wires carry critical low-speed communication signals such as HDCP 2.2 and CEC 2.0.
The upgrade comes through a slight increase in wire gauge-- from stranded 36AWG to solid 32WG. This allows the UHDS cables to passively support 18Gbps from 0.5m through 2m while maintaining a slim, flexible design. Tributaries says passive cables are preferable to active, since they are bi-directional and voltage agnostic, making installations simpler and more stable.
The Covid HDMI cable line gets a pair of additions-- the locking HDMI cable (HDLK) and right-angle HDMI cable (HD-RA), both designed to tackle common HDMI cabling issues.
