System components
Standard system components are the building blocks for creating large public displays.
Mast and foot assembly
Supports incorporate a cast stainless steel foot with an extruded 3.5in diameter aluminium mast with clear anodised finish.
Cabinet
Cabinets house wiring for the LCD monitors, CPUs, and other electronic components. The standard depth for cabinets is 8in but may vary depending on customer preferences. Hinged doors are located on the back of the cabinet, providing access to internal components and wiring.
Cabinets may be mounted using cast arms, which space the cabinet out from the vertical masts or using a flush mount, which mounts the cabinet directly to the mast. Two cabinet designs are available. Like the system’s vertical support masts, the internal cabinet frames are comprised of extruded aluminium. Cabinet face material choices draw from Forms+Surfaces extensive palette of options and include stainless steel, Fused Metal™, Bonded Metal™ and Aero™ Aluminum.
Header
The optional header is located above the cabinet and offers a great location to title the display, add the name of the airport or include other customised wording.
LCD monitors
Customers supply their own LCD monitors, which can be mounted on one side or both sides of the cabinet. Adjustable or fixed mounting brackets are available.
Bumper rails
Bumper rails around the base of the InForm system are available to act as a barrier against rolling luggage and carts.
