A universal projector interface including a mount interface portion with a plurality of elongate arm assemblies coupled thereto. Each arm assembly is selectively rotatable and translatable relative to the mount interface, and includes a coupling portion. The coupling portion of each arm assembly is selectively shiftable between a first position in which the coupling portion is securely engaged with a projector attachment member on the projector and a second position in which the coupling portion is freely disengageable from the projector attachment member.

1. A universal projector interface comprising: a mount interface portion adapted to receive a projector mount;at least one projector attachment member adapted to couple with a projector; andat least one arm assembly operably coupled with the mount interface portion so as to be selectively shiftable
1. A universal projector interface comprising: a mount interface portion adapted to receive a projector mount;at least one projector attachment member adapted to couple with a projector; andat least one arm assembly operably coupled with the mount interface portion so as to be selectively shiftable relative to the mount interface portion, the arm assembly including a coupling portion selectively shiftable between a first position wherein the coupling portion is engaged with the at least one projector attachment member so as to prevent vertical and horizontal translation of the at least one arm assembly relative to the at least one projector attachment member, and a second position wherein the coupling portion and the at least one arm assembly is freely disengagable from the at least one projector attachment member. 2. The universal projector interface of claim 1, wherein the projector attachment member comprises a fastener receivable in a fastener aperture of the projector and a selectively shiftable collar on the fastener. 3. The universal projector interface of claim 1, wherein the coupling portion comprises a clip slidably received on an end of the at least one arm assembly. 4. The universal projector interface of claim 1, wherein the projector attachment member comprises a fastener receivable in a fastener aperture of the projector and a collar threaded on the fastener, wherein the coupling portion comprises a clip slidably received on an end of the at least one arm assembly. 5. The universal projector interface of claim 4, wherein the clip defines a projection, the projection being engaged with the collar of the projector attachment member when the coupling portion is in the first position so as to inhibit threading movement of the collar on the fastener. 6. The universal projector interface of claim 1, wherein the mount interface portion defines a plurality of elongate apertures, and wherein the at least one arm assembly is coupled to the mount interface portion with a fastener extending through one of the elongate apertures, the fastener selectively shiftable along the elongate aperture to shift a position of the at least one arm assembly relative to the mount interface portion. 7. The universal projector interface of claim 6, wherein the at least one arm assembly includes an elongate arm member defining a channel oriented longitudinally along the elongate arm member, the fastener being selectively shiftable along the channel to enable shifting of the position of the at least one arm assembly relative to the mount interface portion. 8. The universal projector interface of claim 1, further comprising means for locking the coupling portion in the first position. 9. The universal projector interface of claim 8, wherein the at least one arm assembly defines a first aperture and the coupling portion defines a second aperture, the first and second apertures being in registration when the coupling portion is in the first position, and wherein the means for locking comprises a locking member insertable through the first aperture and the second aperture when the coupling portion is in the first position. 10. A visual display system comprising: a projector;a projector mount; anda universal mount interface operably coupling the projector and the projector mount, universal mount interface comprising:a mount interface portion adapted to receive a projector mount;at least one projector attachment member adapted to couple with a projector; and at least one arm assembly operably coupled with the mount interface portion so as to be selectively shiftable relative to the mount interface portion, the arm assembly including a coupling portion selectively shiftable between a first position wherein the coupling portion is engaged with the at least one projector attachment member so as to prevent vertical and horizontal translation of the at least one arm assembly relative to the at least one projector attachment member, and a second position wherein the coupling portion and the at least one arm assembly is freely disengagable from the at least one projector attachment member. 11. The visual display system of claim 10, wherein the projector attachment member comprises a fastener receivable in a fastener aperture of the projector and a selectively shiftable collar on the fastener. 12. The visual display system of claim 10, wherein the projector attachment member comprises a fastener receivable in a fastener aperture of the projector and a collar threaded on the fastener, wherein the coupling portion comprises a clip slidably received on an end of the at least one arm assembly. 13. The visual display system of claim 12, wherein the clip defines a projection, the projection being engaged with the collar of the projector attachment member when the coupling portion is in the first position so as to inhibit threading movement of the collar on the fastener. 14. The visual display system of claim 10, wherein the mount interface portion defines a plurality of elongate apertures, and wherein the at least one arm assembly is coupled to the mount interface portion with a fastener extending through one of the elongate apertures, the fastener selectively shiftable along the elongate aperture to shift a position of the at least one arm assembly relative to the mount interface portion. 15. The visual display system of claim 14, wherein the at least one arm assembly includes an elongate arm member defining a channel oriented longitudinally along the elongate arm member, the fastener being selectively shiftable along the channel to enable shifting of the position of the at least one arm assembly relative to the mount interface portion. 16. A method of installing a projector comprising: providing a universal projector interface comprising: a mount interface portion adapted to receive a projector mount;at least one projector attachment member adapted to couple with a projector; andat least one arm assembly operably coupled with the mount interface portion so as to be selectively shiftable relative to the mount interface portion, the arm assembly including a coupling portion selectively shiftable between a first position wherein the coupling portion is engaged with the at least one projector attachment member so as to prevent vertical and horizontal translation of the at least one arm assembly relative to the at least one projector attachment member, and a second position wherein the coupling portion and the at least one arm assembly is freely disengagable from the at least one projector attachment member;providing instructions with the universal projector interface instructing a user to couple the at least one projector attachment member with the projector, couple the mount interface portion with the projector mount, and couple the projector with the projector mount by shifting the coupling portion of the arm assembly to the second position, engaging the coupling portion with the projector attachment member, and shifting the coupling portion to the first position.
