Global AV technology pioneer Peerless-AV® today announced the launch of its new SmartMount® Universal Ultra-Slim Scissor Wall Mount (STS680), a complete mounting ecosystem engineered for simplified direct-to-wall and recessed installation of ultra large displays, from 49" to 120"+.

The STS680 redefines traditional mounting infrastructure with its future-proof, modular design that adapts to collaborative workplaces, digital signage, retail and hospitality environments. Integrators can now specify a single solution that reduces project complexity, minimizes installation time, and ensures long-term value for their customers. As display sizes increase, equipment requirements evolve, or control and automation systems change, the STS680 ecosystem scales seamlessly to support new hardware demands.

The STS680 is packed with user-centric features focused on faster one-person installation and service. At its core is the all-new patent-pending Increlok™ Depth Adjustment feature, allowing installers to adjust and lock the distance between the display and wall, from its out-of-the box, minimum depth of 1.8" up to 7.8" (46-198mm), to accommodate any equipment configuration behind the display.

A full suite of supporting optional accessories, including camera and video conferencing bar mounts, a SurgeX® power management solution, cable management lacing bar, and Crestron® Flex-compatible mounting bracket, transforms the STS680 into a customizable platform that grows with evolving technology.

The mount's streamlined, open access design makes it over 50% slimmer than the STS650 model, addressing installer demand for an ADA compliant, closer-to-wall finish (with displays under 2.2" thick). At the same time, it provides increased extension up to 12.8" (325mm) for effortless cable routing and access to outlets, in-wall boxes, media players and other equipment.

"With our newest Scissor Wall Mount, we've removed the guesswork for integrators," said Nick Belcore, Executive VP at Peerless-AV. "One mount simplifies ordering and covers every installation scenario, reducing errors, saving time, and streamlining setup from start to finish. "The STS680's wide size compatibility and ability to accommodate equipment depth variations behind the display, makes it incredibly adaptable for future-ready UC/VC and workspace projects, minimizing rework and keeping installations current well into the future."

The STS680 has been designed for total ease of use and simplified maintenance. The broader open wall plate with keyhole slots and Hook-and-Hang™ feature streamlines set up and placement on any wall surface, including steel studs. With 2° of plumb adjustment, displays stay perfectly level on uneven walls, while its original Increlok™ Tilt Technology allows display locking at fixed angles (0° to 15°). A magnetic pull cord quickly releases the display and thumb screws allow tool-free removal of the adaptor rails for faster servicing.

The STS680 is available with a host of dedicated, optional accessories:

- Cable Management Lacing Bar: ACC-STSLB

- Pan Tilt Zoom Camera Mount: ACC-STSPTZ

- Video Conferencing Bar Mount: ACC-STSVCB

- Universal AV Component Mount: ACC-UCM3

- Creston Flex 260/200 Mounting Bracket: ACC-STSCF1

- SurgeX DisplayPak+ Mounting Bracket: ACC-STSPDU

Peerless-AV has partnered with SurgeX to design the ACC-STSPDU accessory, purpose-built to support DisplayPak+ and easily integrate into the STS680. This enables integrators to centralize power management directly at the display, improving reliability and simplifying service. Available in two- or four-receptacle versions, DisplayPak+ delivers advanced features, including robust surge protection, IP-controlled connectivity, switchable outlets, remote power analytics, remote monitoring and full third-party control system integration. Visit DisplayPak+ 120V and DisplayPak+ 240V to find out more.

To save even more installation time, AV components and cabling can be pre-installed on the ACC-UCM3, STS680 Universal Component Plate and configured in advance. When on site, simply hook the plate(s) onto the mount, within the open wall plate area so that all is concealed out of sight once the display is installed. Six cable management clips are included in the box to keep cords tidy and in place. All hardware is also included in-box, providing installers with everything they need for a complete, installer-ready mounting solution.

AV integrators are buying scale because meeting rooms now run like software

AV integrators are buying scale because meeting rooms now run like software

Forté’s acquisition of Vega Global, adding more than 750 employees across 17 APAC countries, is a prominent 2026 sign of consolidation in enterprise AV, according to AV Magazine. At InfoComm 2026, Cisco, Crestron and HP showed room platforms centered on ongoing management, with Cisco and NVIDIA introducing RoomOS 26 AI agents that run on in-room hardware and HP tying Poly Lens to its Workforce Experience Platform, as reported by AVIXA and HP. Separately, Cisco’s Webex AI roadmap adds “agentic” automation and governance that reaches beyond room systems into the contact center and workforce management, according to No Jitter. As a result, standards, telemetry, security and service-level performance are taking a larger role in how contracts are evaluated, influencing both vendor choice and integrator consolidation.

  • 01When services are 38% of channel revenue and hardware is 36%, the integrator RFP stops being about the bill of materials and starts being about uptime, monitoring and lifecycle outcomes, per AV Magazine citing AVIXA channel research.
  • 02“Edge AI in the room” shifts how outages and performance issues play out: RoomOS 26 adds on-device agents and features such as Audio Zones that can lessen reliance on cloud connectivity, but it also increases requirements for endpoint compute, device governance and disciplined update processes, according to AVIXA and rAVe [PUBS].
  • 03Consolidation is becoming a procurement feature: Forté’s move from a federation model to owned operations signals multinationals want one throat to choke for standards, security and service outcomes across regions, per AV Magazine.

Sony’s BRAVIA Pro displays run VITEC Avedia IPTV with no external media player

Sony’s BRAVIA Pro displays run VITEC Avedia IPTV with no external media player

Sony Electronics and VITEC announced a global integration that lets Sony BRAVIA professional displays run VITEC’s Avedia IPTV and digital signage software natively, eliminating external media players, according to PR Newswire and AV Magazine. Management runs through VITEC’s CMS, and the companies say it can scale to thousands of displays across corporate, hospitality, healthcare, venues, and public facilities, per PR Newswire and invidis. For enterprise IT and facilities teams, the practical shift is a new procurement and governance model: treat “display plus software” as one Android-based endpoint, then manage it like an IT fleet with fewer devices to install but stricter expectations around app lifecycle, security requirements, and vendor roadmaps. The announcement also lands alongside Sony’s previously reported Bravia Inc. joint venture with TCL, which invidis says will move operational control in April 2027, a reminder that longer-running display deployments should track who sets the roadmap over the life of the fleet.

  • 01Player-less IPTV changes the bill of materials: endpoints shift from “screen + player + mounts + power” to a single managed display, which can compress install labor and reduce failure points.
  • 02The phrase “thousands of displays” (PR Newswire) is the right scale test: if the CMS and network design cannot handle a four-digit endpoint count, this architecture won’t match the promise.
  • 03Sony’s display governance is expected to change in 2027 under the TCL-led Bravia Inc. venture (invidis). For deployments that will still be operating then, teams should address it now as part of contract terms.

AIMS adds Bolin Technology and ITDev to advance IPMX implementation

AIMS adds Bolin Technology and ITDev to advance IPMX implementation

Bolin Technology, a PTZ camera maker, and ITDev, an FPGA design firm, have joined the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) to support IPMX and open AV-over-IP interoperability. AIMS leadership says the additions ground IPMX work in real-world implementation, from endpoint hardware to the FPGA IP used in gateways and processing nodes.

  • 01Bolin Technology and ITDev joined AIMS in late August to support IPMX and open AV-over-IP standards.
  • 02Bolin supplies PTZ cameras and AV-over-IP products supporting NDI, Dante AV, and Fast HEVC; ITDev is an Altera and AMD FPGA design services and IP partner for IPMX, SMPTE ST 2110, and video processing.
  • 03The article advises buyers to ask vendors how IPMX support will be provided (native silicon, FPGA, gateway, or software stack) and to make certification and interoperability testing part of acceptance criteria.
