Eindhoven, Netherlands (JUL 2011) - www.chiefmfg.com - Chief, the industry leader in professional AV mounting solutions, announces that its new Interactive Short Throw Mount is now available.

This revolutionary new solution integrates Chief’s award-winning Short Throw Projector Mount Line with eBeam™ Technology from Luidia, Inc., the global award-winning developer of interactive solutions. Existing whiteboards and writing surfaces are transformed into interactive platforms, with projection that can be scaled anywhere from 48"–94" diagonally, depending on your needs.

This is the latest solution in Chief’s extensive Short Throw Projector Mount series, an award-winning product line that was introduced in August 2009. The premiere option in the series, the new Interactive Short Throw Projector Mount features:

 

  • Fast Installation
    Quick-connect system, variable extension and innovative features make mount installation and registration quick and easy.
  • Easy Integration
    Simply install the eBeam interactive business or education software for Mac or PC, connect computer and projector, and you’re ready to go.
  • Future-Proof
    Chief’s award-winning short throw projector mount provides universal projector compatibility, and an easy upgrade path to better technology.
  • Interactive Stylus
    Lightweight, ergonomic stylus provides exceptional, real-time rendering capabilities. Includes optional wrist strap.
  • Interactive Receiver
    Interactive receiver powered by eBeam Technology adds interactive functionality to any projection-ready surface.

This new solution makes it easy for users to present, annotate and interact with projected content while capturing the results, which can be shared over the Internet for remote meetings. Powerful features, including a dynamic virtual whiteboard, desktop and web navigation, office productivity apps, and more, put the power of your PC at your command.

Existing Chief Short Throw Projector Mounts and installations can be upgraded to include this interactivity by purchasing a WM2I Interactive Kit.

"We're excited to be able to combine Luidia’s innovative interactive technology with our award-winning Chief short-throw projector mounts," said Scott Gill, Milestone AV Technologies Chief Executive Officer. "By combining our easy-to-install short-throw mount solution with any compatible projector, we can make interactivity simpler and more affordable for educational and corporate applications."
