Chief Intros Mount Builder
Online application draws mounts on the fly, suggests accessories and builds a parts list.
So easy, even an editor can build a mount.
Selecting the right mount and accessories for a given installation is now just a few clicks away.
Chief Manufacturing introduced its new online Mount Builder in June at the commercial-oriented tradeshow Infocomm, populating the application with the company's projector mounts. Dealers start by selecting the ceiling type (wood, concrete truss), and the system automatically calculates the weight capacity. As poles and accessories are added, the program draws the mount, calculates drop distance, builds a parts list and recommends accessories.
When you enter your projector's model number, it offers you a variety of compatible mounting plates.
"You can save your configurations, and email it to customers and contractors," says Chief spokesperson Sara Schiffler.
Mount Builder for wall mounts will debut at the CEDIA Expo 2008 in September.
The tool is different from MountFinder, which Chief introduced last year. MountFinder is an easy way to find the appropriate mount for your application, with a database of products that is updated daily. With Mount Builder, you build your own, based on Chief parts.
