The glass facade is the premium finish in the 245 range, specified for executive and client-facing rooms where the cabinet is seen at close range. It houses the projector, source equipment, and cabling in a single enclosure. Glass also resists the wear that shows on veneer over years of service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an executive briefing center or a high-end boardroom, the AV credenza sits in the sightline of everyone in the room for the entire meeting. Veneer at that distance shows every scuff and seam; glass does not. The Oslo front reads as a deliberate architectural material rather than as furniture that happens to contain equipment, and it holds that appearance across a long service life in rooms that get used daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Epson LS800 mounts at a fixed factory-set offset inside the cabinet, which means ultra short throw alignment is a property of the furniture rather than a commissioning task. Equipment bays alongside the projector compartment house switching, sources, and control hardware, with internal cable management between them. Interior access is preserved for service without disturbing the projector position, so maintenance never requires realignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Glass Front\u003c\/strong\u003e — The premium finish in the 245 range, specified for close-viewed executive rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e — Glass holds its appearance across years of daily use where veneer shows scuffs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEpson LS800 Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e — Factory-fixed projector offset removes UST field alignment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e85.5-Inch Width\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sized for the large projected image the LS800 produces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Equipment Bays\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sources, switching, and control hardware share the enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcealed Cable Management\u003c\/strong\u003e — Nothing visible between the projector and the equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServiceable Interior\u003c\/strong\u003e — Maintenance access without disturbing projector alignment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom and executive briefing center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment and public-sector meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalamander Designs Ltd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\/EPSLS800\/245\/OS\/BK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOslo 245\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Projector\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEpson LS800\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85.5 in (2171.7 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.25 in (539.75 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.5 in (546.1 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e295 lb (133 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarton Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 x 25.5 x 24.75 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e634878512817\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompetitor Comparison\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree products get specified against the same brief and solve it differently.
