Brea, CA – January 2009… Altinex, recognized globally as a leading manufacturer of Modular AV Signal Management Solutions™, is pleased to introduce the newest additions to the company’s ever-expanding line of Tilt ‘N Plug connectivity products. Perfect for use in boardrooms and conference centers, these tabletop interconnect systems provide immediate access to a broad range of audiovisual equipment while conveying a streamlined, hi-tech appearance that compliments the most sophisticated meeting and presentation facilities. The TNP601 Tabletop Interconnect Box is designed to provide numerous AV connection configurations in a single enclosure while the TNP602 Tabletop Interconnect Box is a preconfigured “package” of parts that addresses the basic requirements of many installations.

Designed to be part of an integrated presentation system, both the Altinex TNP601 and TNP602 interconnect boxes can be mounted into a table, podium, or other furniture surface to provide a convenient means of connecting one’s laptop to a multimedia presentation system in just seconds. These innovative, highly functional interconnect boxes are accessible by pushing down on the top cover. The units then auto-tilt open with help from their internal pneumatic spring. Similarly, the input plates can be hidden by pressing down on the top cover until the latching mechanism engages. In their closed position, the top panel lies flush with the tabletop. These two units ship with a standard top and bezel featuring a high quality matte black finish. Other finishes or special bezel configurations are available upon request. All signals pass through the underside of the table for an uncluttered appearance that keeps cables out of sight.

The Altinex TNP601 Tabletop Interconnect Box is fully configurable for a variety of sectional plates. The TNP601 ships as an empty enclosure with a frame that is ready to accept sectional plates offered by Altinex. Designed to accommodate any AV configuration, the TNP601 can be stocked with connectors for AC power, computer video (15pin HD), composite video (RCA), audio (RCA), computer audio (3.5mm stereo), phone/modem (RJ11), RS-232 (9pin D-sub), and network (RJ45).

The TNP602 Tabletop Interconnect Box is a pre-configured system package that covers many common AV setups. When ordered, the TNP602 ships as a completely assembled product consisting of one TNP600 interconnect box and the DS801-429 sectional plate. The DS801-429 includes the following connectors: 4 standard U.S. power receptacles, 1 composite video (RCA female to female), 1 left audio (RCA female to female), 1 right audio (RCA female to female), 1 S-video (4-pin Mini-Din female to male), 1 telephone (RJ11 female to male), 3 network (RJ45 female to male), 2 computer/MP3 audio (3.5mm female to male), 2 VGA computer video (15-pin HD female to male), and 2 control (USB female to male). All connectors have 6 foot cables attached that feed through to the bottom of the unit. The power cable is 10 feet long. The unit can also be customized with different connections and colors.

Altinex President and CEO Jack Gershfeld commented on the company’s new TNP601 and TNP602 Tabletop Interconnect Boxes. “The TNP601 and TNP602 are the perfect solutions for patching notebook computers and other presentation tools into an audiovisual system. These units offer a myriad of connections that make patching into the system quick and easy. When not in use, the TNP601 and TNP602 are flush with the table’s surface, yet with a simple press, the connectors tilt up smoothly. Our tabletop interconnect systems offer a clean, uncluttered appearance that adds to the hi-tech aesthetic of the most sophisticated boardroom or presentation space. For those facilities that require easy access to a broad range of connections, our TNP601 and TNP602 are the right tools for the job.”

The standard, pre-configured Altinex TNP602 Tabletop Interconnect Box carries an MSRP of $1,075. Prices for other configurations of either the TNP601 or TNP602 vary-depending upon the chosen connectors. Both systems are available now.
