Flying panels in a curved array
To suspend an array of VDO Face 5™ video panels vertically to form a curved display surface, see below.
To suspend array of VDO Face 5™ video panels vertically to form a flat display surface, see “Flying panels
in a flat array” on page 23.
It is possible to create a suspended array of VDO Face 5™ panels that has a 5° or 10° concave or convex
curve. In a curved array you must:
• suspend panels from VDO Face Curving Headers instead of standard VDO Face headers,
• suspend each VDO Face Curving Header correctly from its eyebolt,
• fasten panels at corners using VDO Face Curving Alignment Plates instead of the standard corner
connection plates, and
• ignore the side-by-side locking bars in the sides of panels (Curving Alignment Plates provide side-by-side
fastening and make the locking bars unnecessary).
Curving Headers and Curving Alignment Plates can be ordered from your Martin® supplier (see
“Accessories” on page 51). Curving plates are available in sets of 10.
Installing Curving Headers
Warning! The connection plates at the ends of VDO Face Curving Headers are for alignment
purposes only. Only fasten panels to a header if the header is suspended using its eyebolt as
described in this user manual.
The side-by-side alignment angle of VDO Face Curving Headers is adjustable to cater for 5° and 10°
curves. You can also use Curving Headers to align panels without creating a curve (i.e. at an angle of 0°).
See Figure 33. Curving Headers are similar to standard VDO Face Headers (see Figure 20 on page 23) but
Curving Headers have connecting plates at each end that allow accurate side-by-side alignment. To
connect Curving Headers:
1. Remove the Allen head pivot bolt A and clamp screw B from the lower plate on the first header.
2. Place the upper plate C of the second header over the lower plate so that the holes are in alignment and
screw the pivot bolt A and clamp screw B loosely into the lower plate so that the two Curving Headers
are loosely joined together.
