kDynamo Overview

Installing kDynamo is a straightforward process since the kDynamo uses user host controls.

features a 100mm VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standard mounting pattern

that provides xed mounting for greater security and convenience, allowing users to deploy

kDynamo Air in a variety of off the shelf semi-mobile or permanent mounts, and eliminating the
need for expensive customization.
