FAIRFIELD, N.J.—Legrand | AV, along with its brand Middle Atlantic Products and U.K.-based designer LundHalsey, has introduced the new LundHalsey Visionline 24/7 control room consoles.

The new Visionline console provides the same design and durability as LundHalsey’s Kontrol family of consoles, but in a smaller footprint and in straight, concave and convex options that can fit in different size control rooms.

There are two models for the Visionline consoles—the Visionline Air sit/stand console and the Visionline fixed height 24/7 control room console. Visionline Air is a human-centered console that offers a sit/stand environment, with an adjustable height between 26 and 47 inches. The work surface can be moved at the touch of a button or remotely via a mobile app.

The fixed height console, meanwhile, is designed to ISO 11064, the international ergonomic standard for control room design, and supported by a frame that provides cable management, integration for active equipment and an industrial design.

Both models feature a modular steel bay system architecture and a .5-inch thick compact laminate work surface with integrated cable management for keeping cables neat and connected. Every console can be configured with single or side-by-side articulating monitor arm options that adjust to any height and reach. There are also a range of accessories that include operated status control LEDs, corner LEDs, universal PDU, wireless charger, touch-sensitive desktop PDU and a dimmable LED task light.

Legrand | AV also says that it will provide a project manager from Middle Atlantic for customers to help design and implement the console into their control room.

FAIRFIELD, N.J.—Middle Atlantic Products has announced that consumers can bring C2G equipment into their homes, including the newly expanded RapidRun Optical modular cabling system. The RapidRun’s new features, including runners available in 15- and 25-foot options, are designed to assist with the transmission of 4K/UHD 4:4:4 signals.

RapidRun’s break-away flying leads and wall plates for attaching onto the appropriate length runner cable are still available, but the new shorter runner lengths provide more options to fit different installation needs. A fiber-based system, RapidRun features 18 Gbps bandwidth, can swap out flying leads as the format evolves, is OFNP rated, resists electromagnetic interference, and operates from a single low-voltage USB power port on the display end of the cable.

The new RapidRun system is now available.

FAIRFIELD, N.J.—The Essex QAR series rack from Middle Atlantic is the latest patent recipient from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, specifically for its design that is meant to speed up integration and assembly.

The patent specifically refers to the Essex’s snap-together design, which allows it to be integration-ready in five minutes, according to Middle Atlantic. The rack serves as a foundation for residential AV systems and can be used as a skeleton rack or configured with sides, doors and a series of Essex power and accessory options.

Middle Atlantic is offering the Essex in 12 possible sizes, but all versions feature lockable casters, optional leveling feet for fixed installation, and a mounting bracket for vertical power distribution.
