Built to withstand the rigors of busy meeting rooms, it helps you keep cables organized and devices within easy reach, while preserving a clean, modern aesthetic that complements any corporate, education, or hospitality space.

• Centered camera placement for optimal sightlines - The 8-inch center shelf is engineered to position a conferencing camera directly beneath the display’s center, ensuring consistent framing across participants and enabling intuitive, screen-to-camera alignment. This design minimizes off-center angles and reduces the need for constant camera adjustments, promoting smoother collaboration and more engaging virtual meetings. Its width supports most compact cameras and small peripherals without protruding beyond the display area, preserving an uncluttered desk or credenza footprint.

The subtle, low-profile design blends with most display mounts and stands, delivering a cohesive look for executive offices, training rooms, and modern collaboration spaces. The reinforced shelf minimizes wobble and provides a dependable base for cameras, encoders, or other small devices that accompany your display setup.
• Versatile compatibility for a range of AV components - Beyond housing a camera, the shelf accommodates a variety of compact AV devices such as USB encoders, streaming dongles, or small speaker units. Its compact footprint keeps cables neatly tucked away while giving you quick access to ports and controls on connected devices. Tailored for Chief Fusion systems, this shelf helps sustain a unified, professional installation across conference rooms and hybrid work environments.
• Easy installation and service-friendly design - This shelf is designed for straightforward integration with existing Fusion rails and mounting hardware. Typical setup involves aligning the shelf with the display’s center axis and securing it with the included fasteners, then attaching your camera and devices. The simple, modular approach enables quick adjustments, repositioning, or removal with minimal downtime, making it ideal for spaces that frequently reconfigure for different meeting formats.
• Space-saving elegance that enhances room aesthetics - The slim profile, clean lines, and black finish contribute to a professional atmosphere in any meeting space. By elevating the camera and small devices under the display, the shelf reduces desk clutter and visual distractions while preserving a sleek, contemporary look.
