What the Intel SDM Midrange module is

The Sharp SDM Slot-In PC Midrange (RPL) is an Intel Smart Display Module, a compact computer that slots into a compatible large format display in place of a separate media player behind the screen. The display then runs your content, applications and interactive software itself. Order code 100016471 identifies this midrange RPL version.

Processor, memory and operating system

The module uses an Intel U300E processor with five cores, made up of one performance core and four efficient cores, with a maximum clock speed of 4.3 GHz. It carries 8GB of RAM in dual-channel configuration and 128GB of storage, and runs Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024. The efficient cores help limit energy use during lighter workloads, while the performance core handles heavier tasks.

Graphics and video decoding

Intel UHD Graphics for 13th Gen Intel processors drives the display output. Hardware decoding covers H.265/HEVC, VP8, VP9, MPEG2, JPEG and AVC, and the module also decodes VC-1 and AV1. Direct3D 12.1, OpenGL 4.6 and OpenCL 3.0 are listed, which matters if your content or interactive software depends on those interfaces.

Where it fits in Qatar

Transport: a passenger information display in a concourse or station around Hamad International Airport, where a slot-in player keeps the screen and computer as one unit.
Retail: promotional screens at a store entrance or a directory display in a mall in West Bay or Lusail.
Corporate and public reception: interactive wayfinding or reception signage in a lobby at The Pearl or Msheireb, running on Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024.

What to check before you order

First confirm your display model appears on the compatibility list: PN-P556, PN-M862, PN-M552, PN-M652, PN-P656, PN-P506, PN-P436, PN-M982, PN-M752, PN-M432, PN-M502 and PN-P756. The source data does not give an operating temperature range for this module. If the screen will sit in a sun-facing lobby, where summer temperatures in Qatar can pass 45°C, confirm the installation environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering.

The manufacturer describes the module as silent in operation, which suits reception areas, boardrooms and classrooms. If noise is a hard requirement for your project, confirm it with us before committing. A free site survey lets us check the mounting position, power and cabling for each display before installation.

Ordering several units for a school or agency

Education groups and government agencies often buy several displays under one purchase order. Send us each display model, the quantity and the site list so every module is matched to a compatible panel. SmartRooms Qatar accepts LPOs and government tenders, issues quotations usually within one working day, and accepts payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Delivery covers all eight municipalities of Qatar.

Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar with your display models and quantities, and we will confirm compatibility before you place the order.

Questions about SDM Slot-In PC Midrange (RPL)

What is the Sharp SDM Slot-In PC Midrange (RPL)?

It is an Intel Smart Display Module, a computer that slots into compatible Sharp large format displays so the screen itself runs the content, apps or interactive software. This midrange RPL version uses an Intel U300E processor with five cores, 8GB of dual-channel RAM and 128GB of storage, running Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024. It is aimed at signage and kiosk projects where a budget-conscious, integrated player is preferred over a separate media box.

Which Sharp displays can take this module?

The source data lists compatibility with twelve Sharp large format display models: PN-P556, PN-M862, PN-M552, PN-M652, PN-P656, PN-P506, PN-P436, PN-M982, PN-M752, PN-M432, PN-M502 and PN-P756. The manufacturer also mentions NEC large format displays that support the SDM slot. Send SmartRooms Qatar your exact display model before ordering so we can confirm the module fits that unit.

What processor, memory and storage does it provide?

The module uses an Intel U300E processor with five cores, one performance core and four efficient cores, with a maximum clock speed of 4.3 GHz. It includes 8GB of RAM in dual-channel configuration and 128GB of storage. The efficient cores are designed to keep energy use lower, while the performance core handles demanding tasks, which suits displays that run for many hours each day in a lobby or school.

Which video formats can it decode in hardware?

Intel UHD Graphics for 13th Gen Intel processors provides hardware decoding for H.265/HEVC, VP8, VP9, MPEG2, JPEG and AVC, plus VC-1 and AV1 decode. For content teams, this means common video formats for signage loops and interactive media can be played without relying on software decoding. The listed graphics interfaces are Direct3D 12.1, OpenGL 4.6 and OpenCL 3.0. Check your content encoding with the SmartRooms Qatar team before production starts.

Is this module suitable for passenger information displays in Qatar?

Yes, the manufacturer lists passenger information systems among its target applications, and the 128GB storage and Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024 platform suit timetable and announcement content. Picture a transport station or concourse near Hamad International Airport that needs one screen showing departures and notices. Fitting the module inside the display removes a separate media box from the wall, which simplifies cabling and installation. Confirm the display model and mounting position first.

Can it drive retail signage in a mall in West Bay or Lusail?

Retail and corporate signage is one of the listed applications, so the module suits a promotional screen at a store entrance or a directory display in a shopping mall. Fitted into a compatible Sharp display, it keeps the screen and computer in one unit, which helps mall management teams keep installations tidy. A free site survey can check sightlines and available space before the order is placed.

Can it power an interactive kiosk for a government office in Doha?

Kiosks and interactive displays are named as target uses, so the module suits visitor-facing kiosks such as wayfinding or service information in a ministry or authority reception area in Doha. It runs Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024, so your IT team can set the software and kiosk application requirements before installation. Agree those details early, and request a quote that lists the display model and quantity.

Will it cope with summer heat in a lobby with large windows?

The source data does not give an operating temperature range for this module, so we cannot quote one. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C, so a lobby with large windows facing the sun needs a careful environmental check. Confirm the installation environment and ventilation with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering, and do not place the display in direct sun until that check is complete.

Is it quiet enough for a reception area or meeting room?

The manufacturer describes silent operation as a feature, which suits a reception area, boardroom or classroom where fan noise would be distracting. This is the manufacturer's description, not a measured noise level in our data. If noise is a hard requirement for your project, confirm it with SmartRooms Qatar before ordering rather than relying on the description alone.

Can the module be upgraded later?

The manufacturer describes the SDM as modular, with the flexibility to upgrade performance levels and simpler installation and maintenance. Upgrade options depend on the module family and the display it is fitted to, so ask for the current options when requesting a quote. Knowing the upgrade path early helps a school or office decide whether this midrange model fits a multi-year plan.

Can an education group order several units on one purchase order?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, and quotations are usually issued within one working day. For a school group fitting out several classrooms or a university lab, send the display model, quantity and site list so every unit is matched to a compatible panel. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.

Does SmartRooms Qatar handle installation?

SmartRooms Qatar provides professional installation and free site surveys, and delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar. For a slot-in module, the survey confirms the display model, power supply and mounting arrangement, and whether the chosen position suits a public-facing kiosk. Request a quote to schedule the survey and receive a quotation usually within one working day.
