The new Standard Edit Desk is a standardised solution derived from Mode-AL's custom edit and production desks manufactured for the Broadcast industry over the last 3 years. Introduced at NAB 2008 to great acclaim, this desk has been designed as a standard platform for all your editing needs.

With the superb cable management within the basic desk frame and exceedingly quiet operation of the table top and screen height adjustable motors (all controlled via USB link to your Mac or PC (available August 2008), the Standard Edit Desk brings true user defined working practices to all operators.

Options:

• Desk top finishes - Super matt low reflective Graphite (as shown) or Urban Grey as standard. With custom desk top finishes from any wood veneer to stone as a special order, we can customise the desk top to your personal or your environment's requirements.
• Desk Frame and Screen Lifter Structure - As standard this is natural anodised (silver). We can powder coat to any RAL, BS or ANSI finish required as an option.
• CPU Shelves - One CPU shelf is supplied as standard that can be fitted to either desk leg. You can have an optional second shelf with energy chain if you need to house a second CPU.
• Speaker Mounts - Speaker Mounts are available for mounting on the desk top or the end of the screen mount bar. Please contact Mode-AL for details (speaker manufacturer and model number required).
• Screen Mounts - We offer mounting configurations for 1, 2 and 3 screens as standard. These need to be specified with orders. Optional 4, 5 and 6 screen versions are available if required.
• Power & Data Distribution - An option to bring a whole host of useful connections to the desk top, including network USB, Firewire, Audio, Power and Graphics.
• Castors - As standard, we offer levelling feet on all of our desks; a castor option is available if mobility is required.
• Side Desk - A 1000mm (39") side desk is available as an optional extra, with a Spyder base as shown, or a cost effective disc base. Both options are available with lift motors if required.
• 19" Rack Options - A single 15U rack as shown, or a 15U + CPU enclosure are available on short lead times. All racks have 19" rack strips front and rear, locking glass doors front and rear and 150mm (6") cable tray both sides at the rear. As standard with castors or optional standard feet.

Desk Structure and Cable Management Details

• Under the desk top, Mode-AL have devoted significant time to the cable management and to providing a superior structure for our edit desk
• Our unique mounting system for screens allows for fast and easy set up and change over if required, with screen mounts available for all screen makes and model numbers
• The screen lifter can lift up to 80kg (175lbs) and can be configured to take from a single screen to 6 screens with the fixed position as shown or cantilever for end user screen positioning as required, with all power and data cables neatly housed within our cable management system
• Under the desk top we have a 150mm (6") cable tray dedicated to excess wiring and for screen power supplies, mains distribution blocks etc & also a separate 50mm (2") cable tray to hold the lifter motor and desk control wiring
• The generous energy chain lifts power and data cables from the static structure up to the cable tray, allowing easy cable insertion with its split enclosure system
• The inside of both legs have removable covers allowing the power and data coming into the desk to be raised up to the energy chain, concealed within the leg
• The twin 60x30 mm desk top support beams provide an extremely firm and ridged support for the desk top
• The lower desk frame is stabilised with a canted 120x30 mm beam also providing a mounting for the energy chain and mountings for a modesty panel if required
• The powerful and silent lift motors are designed to give many years of trouble free life and automatically re calibrate themselves if there is a power loss
• Finally we provide ± 10mm (3/8") of adjustment on our feet, as unfortunately most floors are not made to our exact standards and we do not want you to have a wobbly desk.

The CPU shelf and Energy chain can be reolcated to the other leg with minimal fuss, or if required a second shelf and energy chain can be ordered, providing greater flexibility.

Assembly

The desk comes in a single carton 1950x850x250mm 56kg (76.82x33.52x10" 125lbs) and is broken down into 5 parts - Desk top, Legs (2), Screen Lifter and Stabilising Beam. All fixings and tools are supplied and desk assembly should take no longer than 45 minutes from box to ready for screen mounting.
