TD-101CDT

What the TD-101CDT is built to do

The Trend TD-101CDT is a 10.1-inch compact display designed for digital signage and touch-based information points. Its 1280x800 HD panel uses a 16:10 aspect ratio, which suits menus, wayfinding maps, schedules and promotional loops at a size that fits a desk, a counter or a narrow wall. The panel is rated at 350 cd/m2 brightness with 800:1 contrast, so check the lighting at the chosen spot, particularly if it faces a window.

The screen uses capacitive touch with 10-point input, allowing visitors to tap and swipe directly on the glass. For video, it plays MPEG-4, H.264 and other common formats up to 1080p. Audio files such as MP3, WMA and AAC are supported, and two 3W speakers provide sound for short messages, alongside a 3.5mm headphone output.

Connectivity and power over one network cable

The RJ45 port supports Power over Ethernet, so a single cable can carry both data and power where the network switch provides PoE. If PoE is not available, the unit runs from its 12V/3A DC input using the adapter supplied. Wireless options include 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. Two USB 2.0 host ports, a mini USB OTG port and an SD card slot supporting cards up to 32GB cover peripherals and removable media. A wireless keyboard and mouse are supported, and an external 3G USB dongle can be added where a fixed network link is unavailable.

Processor, memory and operating system choices

The standard configuration runs Android 6.0 on an A64 processor, with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage. Alternative RK3188 or RK3288 processors are offered as options. RAM can be configured up to 4GB and storage up to 32GB, and Android 5.1 or 4.4 can be chosen in place of Android 6.0. The operating system matters: if an existing signage app or content platform only runs on one version, confirm it before ordering, because the operating system is part of the configuration.

Where it fits in Qatar

• Hotel lobby in West Bay: a counter-side screen showing local information, dining hours and transport details, mounted on the desktop bracket to save counter space.
• School reception in Al Rayyan or Education City: visitor directions and event schedules at the front desk, with several units bought together on one purchase order.
• Clinic waiting area in Al Sadd: a compact screen beside reception showing department directions and queue information, with a wall position using the VESA pattern.
• Shop counter in Msheireb: a point-of-sale promotion screen that loops a playlist and lets customers navigate by touch.

Planning before you order

The unit measures 260 x 178 x 27 mm and weighs 0.6 kg, with a 75 x 75 mm VESA pattern for compatible mounts. A desktop position needs only a flat surface, while a wall position should be checked on site. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, which help confirm cable routes, PoE availability and the power arrangement. The manufacturer data does not state an operating temperature range, so for any position near an entrance, a sunlit window or an outdoor area, where summer temperatures in Doha can exceed 45°C, have the environment confirmed before purchase.

The manufacturer warranty is one year. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and organisations can order by LPO or purchase order and pay by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Send us the intended locations, the number of units and your network setup, and request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar.
