About the The Light Source Universal Plasma Mount, Global Truss, Silver, Set of two mounting bars and four Slim-Couplers
The Light Source Universal Plasma Mount is a comprehensive mounting kit designed to facilitate the secure installation of flat-panel plasma or LCD displays onto Global Truss brand aluminum trussing systems. The kit, finished in a neutral silver, includes two long mounting bars and four Slim-Couplers, providing all necessary components for a stable, two-point suspended attachment. The mounting bars are constructed from extruded or fabricated aluminum and feature a series of spaced mounting holes or slots along their length, allowing for versatile vertical adjustment to match the VESA mounting pattern on the back of the display. The bars are engineered to be lightweight yet rigid, preventing flex that could stress the display panel.
The included Slim-Couplers are specialized clamps designed to attach the mounting bars to the truss. These couplers feature a narrow, low-profile jaw that securely grips the truss chord, and a bolt or stud that connects to the mounting bar. The set of four couplers allows each mounting bar to be secured at both ends, distributing the display's weight evenly and preventing any pivot or tilt. The silver finish on all components ensures visual consistency and offers a degree of corrosion resistance. This system transforms standard lighting truss into a robust support structure for video displays, ideal for concerts, trade shows, conferences, and permanent installations where integrating video with overhead lighting rigs is required.
Installation involves clamping the Slim-Couplers onto the truss at the desired positions, attaching the mounting bars to the couplers, and then bolting the display to the bars using its standard VESA hardware. The adjustability of the bars accommodates a wide range of display sizes and VESA patterns. This kit provides a reliable and professional alternative to custom fabrication, ensuring a secure attachment that respects the load limits of the trussing. It exemplifies a modular approach to AV integration, allowing for quick deployment and strike of large-format displays in temporary or semi-permanent overhead rigs.
