Peerless-AV hangs up wireless mounts for digital signage

January 5, 2012

Peerless-AV, a worldwide provider of audio and video solutions, announced that it has launched its PeerAir Wireless Mounting Solutions, which can stream full-HD 1080p 60Hz content to flat panel screens and projectors up to 131 feet away.

These mounts — which Peerless-AV said are "the world's first fully-integrated line of indoor and outdoor wireless mounts that can stream Full HD 1080p 60Hz content to flat panel screens and projectors" at that distance — introduce new installation possibilities by eliminating time consuming, sometimes prohibitive and expensive cable runs, opening up screen and projector placement opportunities that previously were not possible, according to the company.

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. These solutions not only enable a faster and cleaner looking installation, they are also an ideal 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.

This wireless 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 even outdoors.

This product line is powered by Peerless-AV's HD Flow Wireless Multimedia Kit, which has been field tested in thousands of installations and has key features like reverse IR to control content devices remotely, multicasting to stream up to four screens or projectors from a single transmitter, and WPA2 security protocols.

The PeerAir products are simple-to-use systems that get wireless content streaming in less than three minutes, the company said. Each product comes with everything needed to deliver wireless content from source to screen, including a Peerless-AV mount, HD Flow Wireless Multimedia Kit, power and cabling provisions, even short-length HDMI cables specified to fit neatly behind the screen.
