TD-8CDST

The TD-8CDST is an 8-inch compact display for digital signage, with 10-point capacitive touch and Power over Ethernet on its RJ45 port. It suits content that needs to sit close to people, such as a room booking panel beside a meeting room door, a check-in point or a self-guided information stand. The screen is an 8-inch LCD IPS panel with a 1280x800 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio.

Screen, touch and processing

The panel is rated at 280 cd/m2 brightness and a 800:1 contrast ratio, with viewing angles of 80 degrees to the left, right, up and down. Touch input is 10-point capacitive, so more than one person can interact with the screen at the same time.

Inside, a RK3288 quad-core Cortex-A17 processor running at 1.6 GHz drives Android 8.1, with 16GB of storage. Video playback is listed for MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263, H.264, VC1 and RV formats, with support for content up to 4K, although the panel itself displays 1280x800. JPEG images and MP3, WMA and AAC audio are also supported, and the interface offers multiple languages.

Power over Ethernet and connectivity

The RJ45 port supports PoE under IEEE 802.3at, so one network cable can carry both data and power from a compatible PoE source, which removes the need for a separate socket beside the unit. Ethernet runs at 10/100 Mbps. Wireless connectivity is 802.11 b/g/n with Bluetooth 4.0. Other ports include an HDMI output, a USB host port, a Micro USB OTG port, a 3.5 mm earphone jack and a DC power input. Two speakers rated at 1.5 W each are built in. The data lists no battery.

Where it fits across Qatar

• A clinic reception in Al Sadd: a touch panel beside the waiting area lets patients check in and see department directions, while a single PoE cable feeds the unit at the desk.
• A serviced apartment lobby in West Bay: a compact screen at the lift entrance can show building notices and visitor directions without a dedicated media player on the desk.
• A university building in Education City: room booking panels beside lecture room doors show the timetable and let staff book rooms from the touchscreen.

What to plan before installation

The VESA mounting pattern is 75x75 mm, so check the mounting plate and wall fixings before ordering. The active area measures 172.224 mm by 107.64 mm, which helps when laying out content and checking how the screen fits a recess or frame. The working temperature is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, so the unit should be placed in an air-conditioned indoor space. Qatar summers can exceed 45°C, so avoid positions in direct sun, near glazed frontages or in areas where doors open to the outside. The listed accessories are a 12V/1.5A adapter and a user manual. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the adapter input range for Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply. The manufacturer lists a 1-year warranty.
