65-inch Du-Co Room System

NEC has discontinued the 65-inch Du-Co Room System. This page is for organisations that already run it, for buyers comparing it with newer collaboration displays, and for anyone who needs a like-for-like replacement. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement for your meeting room.

Two Matched Panels for Hybrid Meetings

Instead of one screen, the Du-Co pairs two 65-inch panels with the same sleek design: an interactive MultiSync M651 IGB with InGlass touch, and an identical M651 IGB without touch. One panel can carry the local whiteboard while the other shows remote participants or shared content, which suits meetings where people in Doha and teams abroad work on the same material. The datasheet positions the pair for video conferencing room systems, including Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

Image Quality and Natural Pen Writing

Each panel uses an IPS screen with a native 3840 x 2160 (4K) resolution, 500 cd/m² brightness, a default contrast ratio above 8,000:1 and 10-bit colour depth. The InGlass touch layer supports up to 20 simultaneous touches, responds in 15 ms or less and accepts fingers, gloves and styli of at least 2 mm. Palm rejection and Windows Ink are included, so a presenter can rest a hand on the glass while writing. The front is 3.0 mm toughened glass with an anti-glare coating and a 7H hardness rating.

Ports, Computing Slots and Remote Management

• One DisplayPort and two HDMI inputs, both with HDCP
• LAN (100Mbit), RS232, a 3.5 mm remote control input and a USB 2.0 media player port
• Open Modular Intelligence slot for a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 or Intel Smart Display Modules up to 66 W
• Integrated 10 W + 10 W speakers, a powered USB port (10 W) and HDMI ARC
• Control support for AMX, Crestron, PJLink, SNMP and HDMI CEC, with scheduled timers and email alerts

The OMI slot is useful when you want a small computing module inside the panel instead of a separate PC on the table. For IT teams, the control protocols allow the room to be managed from a central system, and the hardware buttons can be disabled to keep settings locked in a shared room.

Planning the Room in Qatar

Each panel measures 1,501.3 x 879 x 73.2 mm and weighs 53 kg, and the datasheet gives a 400 x 400 mm VESA pattern with M8 holes. Two panels mounted side by side therefore need a wall or stand designed for more than 100 kg in total. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check wall structure, sightlines and cable routes before the units are fixed. The datasheet lists a mounting option (PDW T XL-2) among its accessories.

Environment matters in Qatar. The operating range is 0 to +35 °C with 20 to 80% humidity, and the front is rated IP5x. Summer temperatures outside regularly exceed 45 °C, so the meeting room air conditioning should hold the space within the operating range. The power supply accepts 100-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V mains; confirm during the survey that the supplied power cable suits your sockets. The system ships in two cartons weighing 64 kg and 65 kg, so plan for handling and a clear route to the room.

Scenarios Where It Fits

• A boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb where the chair writes on the touch panel while remote directors join from abroad
• A university seminar room in Education City running hybrid sessions, with the touch panel for the lecturer and the non-touch panel for shared slides
• A government authority in Lusail reviewing a project with teams working in Arabic and English side by side on the same content

Because this model is discontinued, the most useful next step is a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement that matches your room size, touch needs and mounting. Share the room details and your existing setup with the SmartRooms Qatar team, then request a quote. We usually respond within one working day.
