Nexus 21 IP control Apex TV mount boasts Smart Drive

The new hi-tech Apex motorised TV wall mount, from Nexus 21, is now shipping from distributor Invision.

Unusually versatile, the Apex features a number of CI-centric features which, says Invision, will delight both the installer and end-user. It’s the first motorised wall mount ever created that fits completely inside the wall, with an ultra-thin installation profile of just 19mm.

Not only can it move in multiple directions and to pre-set locations, it’s the first mount of its type to include IP control and feedback, allowing for complete integration with control systems. It ships fully assembled.

To reduce the possibility of mechanical breakdown, and therefore time consuming service call-outs, the Apex features Smart Drive technology, which prevents damage when it's moved manually.

Smart Drive enables Apex to be actively aware of its position, allowing it to recover from unexpected changes to its path and to instantly release when encountering resistance. It moves at a smooth 1.5-inches a second.

Other features include a versatile wall box that can be mounted either in-wall or on-wall, with a three-step installation process. Three-point adjustments enable fine-tuning of the TV, quickly correcting its position in the unlikely event of an uneven installation. Dedicated component-mounting locations, as well as the proprietary COBRA (Concealed Cable- Management System) provide a sleek aesthetic and prevent cable wear and tear.

“The inspiration behind Apex is to erase the pain professionals experienced with motorised mounts of the past. No more damaged motors. No more loud, bulky mechanisms,” explains Nexus 21 CEO, Cory Lovett. “Apex allows integrators to say ‘yes’ to their customers every time and for them to be able to specify a motorised mount with confidence.”
