SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
Arthur Holm’s DB2Share is a motorised retractable communication
solution 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. This solution
provides full control to view and share documents and videos with a
motorised retractable HDMI cable that raises as an extension of the slick
design of the monitor.
By touching directly on the monitor, users can select the HDMI input
and share it. Monitors are equipped with 2 HDMI-HDCP compliant inputs
and 1 output, allowing the daisy chain of a maximum of 20 devices. An
Interactive Setup Display allowing the control, setup and diagnose of
the monitors. Monitors provide RS-422 I/O allowing the remote control of
movements, speeds, 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 configuration
of all the monitors installed in a table by simply pressing a button. The
AHlink Android and iOS app allows getting the monitor’s serial number
without removing the unit from the table and allows access to the setup
and control menus.

• The smallest impact on the table surface
• Includes a retractable HDMI cable and on glass touch buttons
• Front double sided anti-reective 2 sides coating 2 mm glass
• Energy saving, low consumption video controller
• AH-AMMC Auto mechanical movement calibration
