Extron has recently released a new mounting solution for Apple's iPad. Great secure design. The Extron TLM 100T is a secure tabletop mount designed for use with 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation iPads. The TLM 100T is the first secure iPad enclosure designed specifically for the professional AV market, and has several features that make it ideal for high-traffic areas where an iPad is running Extron control apps or is being used as a presentation video source. When locked in with the included security fasteners, the iPad is safeguarded against theft. The discrete cable management system allows iPad adapters and charging cables to be routed through the adjustable and removable base.

Expect some very interesting developments from these two brands in the near future.
