SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
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.
The monitors are equipped with AH-AMMC: an auto mechanical
calibration movement system and the use of the Arthur Holm’s ERT will
enable the address configuration of all the monitors installed in a table
by simply pressing a button. The AHlink app allows a wireless access to
the test and adjustment functions without removing the unit from the
table.
Highlights
• The smallest impact on the table surface
• One operation sensor on top of the aluminium housing
• Front double sided anti-reective 2 sides coating 2 mm glass
• Energy saving, low consumption video controller
• AH-AMMC Auto mechanical movement calibration
• Wireless connectivity for setup and control
• No cover plate required
• 20 mm max thickness
