TD-215CDT

What the TD-215CDT is built to do

The TD-215CDT is a 21.5-inch compact display for digital signage and touch-based information points. Its IPS LCD panel delivers 1920x1080 Full HD resolution in a 16:9 widescreen format, with 250 cd/m2 brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. The unit runs Android 6.0 on an A64 Quad Core processor, so applications and content run on the display itself rather than on a separate media player.

Touch input and network connection

The 10-point capacitive touch screen can register up to ten contact points at once, which helps when two or more visitors use a directory or menu together. The RJ45 port supports PoE, so a single network cable can carry both data and power when connected to a suitable PoE switch. Confirm the switch and cabling with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering. Wireless connectivity covers 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, and a 3G connection is possible through an external USB dongle.

Memory, storage and upgrade options

The base configuration includes 1GB RAM and 8GB internal memory. The manufacturer lists upgrades to 2GB or 4GB RAM and to 16GB or 32GB storage, which suit larger media libraries or several applications running at the same time. Content can also be loaded locally from an SD card (up to 32G), a mini USB OTG port or one of three USB host ports. A 2 MP camera is standard, and the manufacturer lists a 5MP camera as an option.

Where it fits in Qatar

• Hotel reception in West Bay: a 21.5-inch touch screen at the check-in desk can show local transport times, dining options and building information without a staffed kiosk.
• Clinic waiting area in Al Sadd: a compact touch display can present departmental directions, mounted on a counter or reception desk where floor space is limited.
• Campus front desk in Education City: a wayfinding screen can show building directions and event schedules that staff load locally onto the unit.

Planning the installation

The desktop bracket is included, and the unit uses a 75x75mm VESA pattern for wall or arm mounting. It measures 538 x 330 x 40 mm and weighs 3.85 kg, so a sturdy counter or a suitable arm is needed. Power comes from the included 12V/3A adapter or from PoE. The operating temperature range is not in the data available for this model, so confirm the environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before placing the display near windows, in an open entrance or outdoors. Summer temperatures in Qatar often exceed 45 degrees Celsius, which makes this check important. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys and professional installation, and quotations usually arrive within one working day.

The unit carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty. It includes 3W x2 speakers, a 3.5mm headphone output and a multi-language on-screen menu. To compare sizes or confirm the right configuration for your project, request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar and include the number of units, the mounting location and whether PoE is available at each point.
