Overview

Hikvision has discontinued the DS-D5C98RB/B, a 98-inch 4K interactive display from its Ultra Series. It combines a 3840 × 2160 panel, 50-point infrared touch, Android 14.0 with 8 GB memory, a 48 MP camera and an eight-array microphone. It suits large boardrooms, lecture halls and training rooms in Doha, Lusail and Education City. Organisations that own this model or want a comparable replacement can request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar.

What the DS-D5C98RB/B is and where it stands

The Hikvision DS-D5C98RB/B is a 98-inch interactive display in the Ultra Series. It pairs a large 4K panel with infrared touch, a built-in camera and microphone array, and an Android 14.0 system. The manufacturer has discontinued this model. Organisations that already run it, or that are comparing it with other large-format panels, can use this page to check its specifications and request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement from SmartRooms Qatar.

Display and touch facts that matter in a large room

The VA panel with DLED backlight runs at 3840 × 2160 and 60 Hz, with 10-bit colour depth and 600 cd/m² typical brightness. Its anti-glare glass has 25% haze and 88% transmittance, which helps reduce reflections from ceiling lights and windows. Static contrast is rated at 5000:1 and dynamic contrast at 30,000:1. The infrared touch layer supports up to 50 simultaneous points with a touch precision of ±0.5 mm, so several presenters can write on the same wide surface at once.

Computing, video conferencing and connectivity

Android 14.0 with 8 GB memory and 128 GB built-in storage
Optional OPS module for Windows, with switching between Android, OPS and PC sources
Three HDMI 2.0 inputs, one DisplayPort 1.2 input and one VGA input
Four USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port and two Type-C ports with 65 W front charging
Two 1000 Mbps LAN ports and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)

The camera has a 48 MP photo sensor and 8 MP video, with resolution up to 4K and a 93.4° diagonal field of view. The eight-array omni-directional microphone is rated for pick-up up to 12 m and includes echo reduction and noise cancellation. Two 20 W speakers and a 25 W speaker are built in. The manufacturer suggests running conferencing applications on Windows, so if your team depends on a specific platform, include the OPS option in your request.

Where it fits in Qatar

A 98-inch panel suits a large boardroom in West Bay or Lusail, where a leadership team reviews plans with colleagues in Doha and abroad. In Education City, a lecture hall or seminar room can use the panel for teaching, while the built-in camera lets remote students follow the session. A training centre in the Industrial Area can run safety briefings and group exercises from one screen. Executive meeting rooms in hotels and serviced apartments in Msheireb are another fit, provided the room is air-conditioned.

What to plan before you order

The panel measures 2219.8 × 1336.4 × 105.7 mm and weighs 94 kg net (137 kg gross), so the wall must be checked for load and the mounting points must match the 1000 × 400 mm VESA pattern with four M8 fixings. A wall mount bracket is supplied. The operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C at 10% to 90% relative humidity. Summer temperatures in Qatar often exceed 45 °C, so keep the display in a conditioned room away from direct sun and unshaded windows. The power supply accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, with average consumption below 325 W and standby consumption of 0.5 W or less. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar lets our team check the wall, the access route and the power point before installation.

Questions about DS-D5C98RB/B

Is the Hikvision DS-D5C98RB/B still sold by the manufacturer?

No. Hikvision has discontinued the DS-D5C98RB/B, so it is no longer in the current range. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement, matched to your room size, mounting wall and connections. If you already own this model and need a like-for-like unit or a spare, send us the room details and we will usually suggest options within one working day.

Would a 98-inch panel suit a boardroom in West Bay?

Yes, for a large boardroom or executive meeting room where people sit a good distance from the screen. A 98-inch 4K panel shows detailed spreadsheets, drawings and presentations clearly to a group, and the built-in camera and microphone cover colleagues in Doha or abroad. Measure the room width and seating distance first, because a smaller room may be better served by a smaller display.

What resolution and brightness does the panel offer?

The panel runs at 3840 × 2160 (4K UHD) at 60 Hz, with 10-bit colour depth and 600 cd/m² typical brightness. Static contrast is rated at 5000:1 and dynamic contrast at 30,000:1. The anti-glare glass has 25% haze and 88% transmittance, which helps reduce reflections from ceiling lights and daylight. If strong sunlight enters from a nearby window, position the screen away from the glare path.

Will touch still work well when several people write at once in a training room?

Yes. The infrared touch supports up to 50 simultaneous points, with a response time of 2 ms or less and a precision of ±0.5 mm across at least 90% of the touching area. Objects of 1.5 mm or more are detected. A training centre in the Industrial Area can run group exercises where several trainees annotate together, and a 3 m touch USB cable is supplied with the unit.

Does it run Windows, and what does the OPS option involve?

The display runs Android 14.0 natively, with 8 GB memory and 128 GB storage. Windows runs through an optional OPS module, so list it in your quotation request if your team needs it. The unit can switch between Android, OPS and PC sources. The manufacturer suggests Windows for conferencing applications, so confirm your video platform before ordering.

Is the camera good enough for a video call between Doha and an overseas team?

The camera has a 48 MP photo sensor and 8 MP video, with resolution up to 4K, a 93.4° diagonal field of view and distortion of 2.5% or less. The eight-array microphone has a 12 m voice pick-up distance with echo reduction and noise cancellation. Check the room length against that 12 m figure during our free site survey before deciding where the camera should sit.

Which ports will I use to connect laptops and other sources?

Video inputs are three HDMI 2.0, one DisplayPort 1.2 and one VGA, plus an audio input. Two Type-C ports support USB 2.0, DP 1.2 and charging, with 65 W on the front for a laptop and 15 W on the side. Four USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port handle peripherals, touch is carried over three USB 3.0 touch links, and two 1000 Mbps LAN ports and Wi-Fi 6 cover the network. An RS232 port allows control from a room system.

Can it run in an unconditioned hotel meeting room in Msheireb during summer?

No. Its working temperature is 0 °C to 40 °C with 10% to 90% relative humidity. Summer temperatures in Qatar often exceed 45 °C, so the display needs an air-conditioned room, away from direct sun and unshaded windows. A hotel or serviced apartment in Msheireb should confirm its cooling capacity for the room before installation, and our team can advise during the site survey.

What wall and installation planning does a panel this size need?

The unit measures 2219.8 × 1336.4 × 105.7 mm and weighs 94 kg net, or 137 kg gross. It uses a 1000 × 400 mm VESA pattern with four M8 mounting points, and a wall mount bracket is supplied. Check the wall's load rating, the route for moving a heavy box through the building, and the height of the power and data points. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, which we recommend before installing a panel of this weight.

What power does it need, and how much electricity does it use?

The power supply accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Average consumption is below 325 W, and standby consumption is 0.5 W or less. A power cable is included. Confirm the plug type with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering so that it fits the BS 1363 sockets in your room.

Our school in Al Wakrah is buying several units. How do we order?

Schools can order by purchase order or LPO, and SmartRooms Qatar accepts payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Send us the list of rooms and the number of units, and we will prepare a quotation, usually within one working day. Because this model is discontinued, we will also suggest a current equivalent so that every classroom shares the same specification.

What should I compare when choosing a replacement for this model?

Start with screen size and seating distance, then compare resolution, brightness, touch points and the operating system. Check whether you need an OPS option for Windows, the camera and microphone specifications, the port set and the operating temperature range. Finally, match the VESA pattern and weight to your wall. Use the figures on this page as a checklist and ask for a quote measured against them.
