Peerless-AV Launches First Wireless Mounts

By John Laposky -- TWICE, 1/4/2012

Aurora, Ill. - Peerless-AV today launched a line of indoor and outdoor mounts that can wirelessly stream FullHD content to screens or projectors up to 131 feet away.

The new PeerAir Wireless Mounting solutions include indoor and outdoor wireless articulating arms and tilt wall mounts, a mobile cart and a wireless projector mount. They provide installers with an option when it's not feasible to run cables due to environmental constraints such as mirrored/glassed walls, historic sites, complex cable runs or safety/code issues, the company said.

The line is powered by Peerless-AV's HD Flow wireless multimedia kit, which features reverse IR to control content devices remotely, multi-casting to stream up to four screens or projectors from a single transmitter, and WPA2 security protocols.

The system can beam the signal through a 131-foot sphere, so users can leave the content delivery devices where they are and mount the screen or projector in a different room, a floor above or below, or outdoors, said Peerless.

The mounts ship with everything needed to deliver wireless content from source to screen, including the mount, HD Flow kit, power and cabling provisions, and short-length HDMI cables specified to fit neatly behind the screen, according to Peerless.

The PeerAir indoor line consists of a tilt wall mount for 37-inch to 63-inch TVs; an articulating wall mount for 42-inch to 60-inch panels, a cart for TVs 47 inches to 65 inches, and a projector mount for projectors up to 50 pounds.

Two weather-resistant outdoor models are available, an articulating mount and a tilt mount for flat panels 42 inches to 60 inches.

The PeerAir line also includes wireless integration kits that enable the conversion of almost any Peerless-AV universal wall or ceiling mount, cart or stand into a wireless solution. Also offered is an a la carte option with wireless integration modules that allow selection of the desired mount and HD Flow kit to piece together a custom product, available on www.peerless-av.com.
