refresh rate of 60Hz.

professional grade product and shall be installed as per the manufacturers’ specifications.
All mounts for displays must be rated for the weight of the display plus an additional load of
50 kg. The brackets must be secured to the wall plate such that the display cannot be
dislodged from the mount without authorisation.

cannot be found at screens bracket mounting locations, the Audio Visual Integrator is to
provide a solid MDF backing board, mounted to a structurally sufficient number of studs and
finished in a suitable colour as specified by ISTS with edge trimming. The mounting scheme
is subject to approval by FMU.
Mechanical and electronic security may also be required. This will be specified during the
