Extron Electronics Presents Surface Matching Motorized Hideaway® Surface Access Enclosure

Anaheim, California (June 9, 2004) – Extron Electronics announces the HSA 822MS, a surface matching motorized Hideaway Surface Access enclosure for tabletop access to AV connectors and controls. Using an installer provided surface cover that matches the tabletop, the HSA 822MS installs at an adjustable height below the tabletop, making the HSA 822MS nearly invisible in the closed position. The HSA 822MS is an elegant, double sided enclosure that raises quietly and effortlessly to reveal power, data, and other popular AV interface connections. When closed, the lid of the HSA 822MS fits flush with the tabletop, storing connectors out of sight. "The new surface matching enclosure is ideal for high profile executive boardrooms and conference rooms where state-of-the art AV functionality must blend inconspicuously within existing décor," says Lee Dodson, vice president of marketing for Extron. "The HSA 822MS is perfectly suited to environments in which quiet, elegant, and unassuming automated systems are required." The HSA 822MS can be raised and lowered via contact closure or by pressing on the top surface. An automatic safety sensor prevents the HSA 822MS from closing on obstructions, eliminating any potential injury to users or damage to cable connectors. The HSA 822MS features the identical space and connectivity options of the standard HSA 822, and it is engineered within the same space-efficient footprint, even with the motorized mechanism. The HSA 822MS is available in black anodized finish. The HSA 822MS provides two A/C power outlets to a laptop or other AV equipment. Different models are available with UK, Israel, Central Europe, France, Australia, India, or Switzerland power connectors.
