The Ergotron 97-872 SV Telepresence Kit is a conversion accessory designed for compatible Ergotron StyleView SV43 and SV44 mobile carts. It enables a back-to-back monitor configuration for telepresence applications, providing separate viewing positions for a caregiver and a patient.
The kit combines additional display-mounting hardware with dedicated provisions for camera and computing equipment. It is intended for mobile telehealth and video communication deployments where two-sided viewing is required on a single workstation.
Back-to-Back Monitor Configuration
The kit adds a rear LCD pivot to support the second monitor in the back-to-back arrangement. The configuration allows the displays to face opposite directions, supporting separate viewing access from either side of the cart.
The monitor mounting system supports compatible displays up to 22 inches with VESA FDMI MIS-D mounting patterns of 75 × 75 mm or 100 × 100 mm. Actual display compatibility depends on mounting geometry, individual monitor weight, and the overall load limits of the cart.
Equipment Integration
The 97-872 includes components for integrating video conferencing and computing equipment into a compatible StyleView cart. A camera shelf provides a mounting location for compatible camera equipment, while a codec/CPU holder accommodates supported computing hardware.
The kit also includes a large lower drawer, a travel stop, and mounting hardware. These components support the converted workstation configuration without making the kit a complete standalone cart.
Compatibility
The Ergotron 97-872 is designed for compatible StyleView SV43 and SV44 carts. Confirm the exact cart model before ordering, as this accessory is not intended to fit every mobile cart.
Manufacturer and distributor listings identify compatibility with selected models, including SV43-1310-0 and SV44-1311 and SV44-1312 configurations. Confirm the specific model suffix and installed cart options against the manufacturer's compatibility documentation.
