Abstract: A video display unit support bracket (100) that facilitates greater integration of TV, internet, gaming, and computer peripheral devices. The bracket (100) can include a rigid casing (105) defining a first outer shell (205). An engagement structure (110) can be disposed on a portion of the rigid casing (105). The engagement structure (110) includes one or more receivers (220) that are configured for rotatably securing a proximal end (121) of a video display unit support arm (120) to the rigid casing (105). The rigid casing (105) can enclose a first internal cavity (306), which, in turn, can enclose one or signal processing circuits (300) selected from the group consisting of an RF modem (310), a multiplexing device (305), and a control signal interface circuit (315).
