SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Applications
Arthur Holm’s DB2 is a motorised retractable monitor range that creates
minimum impact on the furniture’s design. It is easy to integrate,
intuitive to use (one simple operation sensor located on the top of the
monitor) and almost invisible (no cover plate, neatly streamlined into
the furniture) when not in operation. DB2 provides a harmonious silent
drive with variable speeds. With a maximum thickness of 20 mm, this
monitor range is elegant, beautiful from all angles and can be veneered
for a seamless integration in the furniture, creating a long lasting user’s
experience and delivering an exceptional image’s quality. We have
selected the best possible aluminium nishing specications in the world,
providing the maximum technical and visual performance.
The screen is protected with an anti-reective 2-side coating 2 mm
black edged glass. DB2 are available from 10" to 23.8" with 2 DVI-HDCP
compliant inputs and equipped with an Interactive Setup Display (ISD)
allowing the control, set-up and diagnose of the monitors. Monitors
provide RS-422 I/O allowing the remote control of movements, speed,
safety settings, brightness, contrast and backlight. The monitors are
equipped with AH-AMMC: An auto mechanical calibration movement
system. The use of the Arthur Holm’s ERT will enable the address
conguration of all the monitors installed in a table by simply pressing
a button.
