Sanus launches new iPad app for custom installers
The Sanus Install Tool Kit provides TV mount compatibility and installation assistance for professional AV installers to use on the job site while performing custom installations.
“With many custom installers embracing new technologies like the iPad, we wanted to develop a useful application that will make it faster and easier for installers to get assistance in the field,” says Sanus general manager Jim Wohlford.
The Sanus Install Tool Kit features MountFinder mount selection tool and HeightFinder installation assistant. With MountFinder, installers can easily find compatible mounts for more than 15,000 TVs from a comprehensive list organised alphabetically by brand and model number for quick identification. Search results are organised by mount type (full-motion, tilting, low-profile or speciality), and users are able to view complete details for each product, including features, specs and price.

Using the HeightFinder tool, installers can determine the exact drilling hole location for installing a mount. They may also change variable information as required for more custom installations simply by providing the desired height of a TV’s top, centre or bottom as measured from the floor. From this information, HeightFinder provides diagrams for quick reference – a useful timesaving feature.
The app also features a “MyNotes” notepad where installers can create and save notes and then reference back to them to recall installation information.
The Sanus Install Tool Kit also provides demo videos, allowing installers to show their customers the many benefits of mounting a TV, and to help the installer determine which type of mount is appropriate for each installation.
It is anticipated the free app will be available for download on 22 September from the iTunes App Store.
Sanus will be giving demonstrations of the app in booth #1136 at CEDIA, 22-26 September in Atlanta.
Attendees who participate in the demo will be eligible to win an iPad during a daily giveaway.
