Video Arm Deployment Method

A video assembly comprising:

• a video monitor;
• a video arm coupled with the video monitor;
• wherein the video assembly is manually moveable by a user between a stowed position, an intermediate position, and a deployed position, the intermediate position being between the stowed position and the deployed position;
• and
• wherein the video arm provides a first amount of resistance to the user when the user moves the video assembly from the intermediate position toward the deployed position and a second amount of resistance to the user when the user moves the video assembly from the deployed position toward the intermediate position, the first amount of resistance being less than the second amount of resistance.

A video assembly comprising:

• a video monitor;
• a video arm coupled with the video monitor;
• wherein the video assembly is manually moveable by a user between a stowed position and a deployed position, a video arm range of motion between the stowed position and the deployed position including a low torque zone and a directional torque zone;
• and
• wherein the video arm provides a reduced resistance to the user when the user moves the video assembly in the low torque zone;
• and
• wherein the video arm provides a first resistance to the user when the user moves the video assembly in a first direction in the directional torque zone and a second resistance to the user when the user moves the video assembly in a second direction in the directional torque zone, the second direction being opposite the first direction;
• and
• wherein the second resistance is greater than the first resistance and the first resistance is greater than the reduced resistance.
