The Ergotron 97-870 SV Telepresence Kit is a single-monitor workstation conversion kit designed for compatible Ergotron StyleView SV43 and SV44 mobile carts. It provides mounting and storage components for integrating video conferencing equipment, a monitor, and computing hardware into an existing cart-based workstation.
The kit includes a camera shelf, a large lower drawer, a codec/CPU holder, a travel stop, and mounting hardware. It is intended for deployments that require a mobile telepresence workstation rather than a standard single-display computer cart.
Telepresence Equipment Integration
The 97-870 supports the integration of compatible display, camera, video conferencing, and computing equipment. Its camera shelf provides a dedicated mounting location for a compatible camera, while the codec/CPU holder accommodates supported equipment within the specified size limits.
The large lower drawer provides additional storage within the cart configuration. The kit is designed to work with compatible StyleView cart structures and their height-adjustment mechanisms.
Monitor Mounting and Load Capacity
The mounting configuration supports compatible monitors up to 22 inches, using the VESA FDMI MIS-D mounting standard with 75 × 75 mm or 100 × 100 mm hole patterns.
The height-adjustment assembly has a maximum combined load capacity of 39 lb (17.7 kg). This is a shared capacity across the components attached to the height-adjustment assembly, not an allowance of 39 lb for the monitor alone. Individual component limits and the cart's configuration must be considered when planning the installation.
When the LCD lift pivot is locked, the specified display capacity changes to accommodate heavier displays and all-in-one computers, subject to the manufacturer's applicable configuration limits.
Compatibility
The Ergotron 97-870 is designed for compatible StyleView SV43 and SV44 mobile carts. Before purchasing, confirm the exact cart model and review the installation documentation to verify the required mounting interfaces and configuration.
- Cart compatibility: Ergotron StyleView SV43 and SV44 series carts.
- Monitor compatibility: Supported monitors up to 22 inches with compatible VESA mounting patterns.
- Camera compatibility: A compatible camera can be mounted using the supplied camera shelf.
- Computing equipment: Compatible codecs and CPU equipment can be accommodated within the holder's dimensional limits.
The camera, monitor, codec, and telepresence or computing equipment are not included in the kit. These components must be selected separately to suit the intended deployment.
Key Features

- Codec/CPU holder: Accommodates compatible computing or video conferencing hardware within its supported dimensions.
- Large lower drawer: Adds enclosed storage to the cart configuration.
- VESA-compatible monitor mounting: Supports 75 × 75 mm and 100 × 100 mm mounting patterns for compatible displays.
Applications
- Mobile video conferencing workstations in healthcare environments.
- Telepresence systems that require a monitor, camera, and computing hardware on one mobile platform.
- Reconfiguration of compatible StyleView carts for video communication and remote collaboration.
- Mobile professional workstations that need integrated equipment storage and dedicated mounting positions.
DC Supplies Product Note
Plan the equipment layout before installing the kit. The 39 lb (17.7 kg) rating applies to the combined load on the height-adjustment assembly, so the monitor, camera shelf, worksurface, keyboard tray, CPU compartment, and drawer must be considered together. Check each component's individual load limit and the cart's installation documentation. Also verify the codec/CPU holder dimensions against the actual equipment before ordering.
