FARGO - Universal free stand for video sound bar

ERARD PRO, video bar and soundbar mounts — six items for three different situations in a meeting room. The FARGO column in three versions, FARGO, FARGO S and the rolling FARGO MOBILE, the VISIOPLAY bracket on VESA 600 × 400 and the SOUND UP interface piece on a screen mount, joined by a wall mount for the POLY TC8 touch controller.

FARGO, VISIOPLAY and SOUND UP all have universal video bar clamping and are not tied to a single brand. They serve POLY just as well as Yealink, Yamaha or Crestron, that is the brands we also represent.

Key features

• Three different mounting principles, a free-standing column, a bracket on VESA and an interface piece on a screen mount

• Universal video bar clamping on FARGO, the documented brands on VISIOPLAY cover POLY, YEALINK, YAMAHA, CRESTRON, LOGITECH, AVER, NUREVA, JABRA and BOSE

• FARGO stands free, it is fixed neither to the wall nor to the floor, and it carries its own cable routing solution

• VISIOPLAY hangs the video bar above or below the screen through the existing VESA 600 × 400 pattern

• SOUND UP attaches to an already installed screen mount with a set of supplied spacers

• SOUND UP works with any soundbar that has rear fixing holes at a pitch of up to 800 mm

• Steel construction in black, indoor use on all four items

• A 10 year warranty on FARGO, VISIOPLAY and SOUND UP

Strengths and limits

Which installation

The “Suitable” field follows from the technical parameters of the group, the “Verify” and “Consider another model” fields from the practice of the atlantis team.

Variants in the group

Load, fixing and dimensions

The net weight of SOUND UP is 0.90 kg and installation takes one person 10 minutes. FARGO 049480 has height adjustment from 1050 mm to 1400 mm, and the height of FARGO S and FARGO MOBILE as well as the exact camera height above the floor we confirm with the order. All items are intended for indoor use.

Where the group sits

What to verify before ordering and installing

1. Video bar weight: from its datasheet, the ceiling of the group is 15 kg on VISIOPLAY above the screen

2. VESA pattern on VISIOPLAY: the screen or its mount has to provide exactly 600 × 400

3. Geometry on VISIOPLAY: at most 630 mm behind the bar and 530 mm with fixing from underneath

4. Position of the video bar: 15 kg above the screen, 10 kg below it, allow for the lower figure

5. An existing screen mount for SOUND UP: without one SOUND UP has nothing to attach to

6. Rear holes of the soundbar: a pitch of at most 800 mm, clamping with no rear holes is not compatible

7. Floor space for FARGO: the footprint of the base, the shipping carton measures 1030 mm × 540 mm

8. Cabling to TC8: power and signal are brought to the position of the mount before installation

The atlantis team helps with every point. From matching the mount to the specific video bar through building readiness and cabling to installation, commissioning and handover of the documentation.

Installation design and services

• The weakest link sets the load rating of the assembly: in a stand plus screen mount plus shelf assembly, the lowest of the stated load ratings always applies. Check the screen weight in its own datasheet, not from the diagonal.

• Check VESA before ordering: the stated range is the maximum pattern, not a guarantee that the screen fits. On large formats and on screens with curved or irregular backs, verify both the pattern and the thickness in advance.

• The wall type decides the fixing hardware: plasterboard, masonry and concrete each need different anchors. On part of the range the wall screw set is not in the box and the fixing hardware is chosen on site to suit the wall.

• Cabling and service access belong in the design, not on the installation day: cable routing inside the column, the wall penetration and access to the back of the screen have to be in the room layout before anyone drills.

atlantis services for partners

atlantis is a direct importer and distributor, and we supply through a network of specialist partners. The services below are therefore offered to the partner, not to the end customer. The partner sets the scope. On one project we are only the source of the parts and a consultation, on another we design the whole run and oversee the work, on a third we take on the installation in full.

• Choosing the kit by camera and distance: we pick the kit from the camera or codec the customer already has, how far it sits from the equipment and which interface is used, that is HDMI, USB or fibre. We also say what to do about a device that is not on the compatibility list.

• Route design and building readiness: we go through the cable run with the partner, the category and length of the cabling, the number and position of the boxes, the wall penetration and the space in the rack. On in-wall mounts the opening size and cavity depth are what matters, and we settle those before the order, not on site.

• Completing the order: we match the kit with the right cables, power supply and mount, because that is exactly where jobs are left unfinished. We check that the pieces fit each other by connector and by length, and that nothing the partner needs on day one is missing from the delivery.

• Installation and commissioning: we handle the professional installation in full, or support the partner's own team where needed. Once it is wired we test the link at full distance, that is picture, camera control and power, before the ceiling is closed.

• Integration with the customer's environment: we advise on connecting to the codec, to the control system and to third-party software and hardware, and on how the kit behaves when the camera is swapped for a different model.

• Service, spare parts and warranty: our certified team in Czech, available to the partner throughout the equipment's life. We keep track of the replacement modules and parts by range and handle a warranty claim with the manufacturer on the partner's behalf.

Warranty

The ERARD PRO range is passive mechanics, so the warranty covers the structure, the welds, the moving parts and the finish. The warranty term is not the same across the brand and for a given item it is what is stated below.
