75-inch InfinityBoard 2.2 QL

Discontinued model: what to check before you buy

The NEC 75-inch InfinityBoard 2.2 QL is a discontinued model from NEC's InfinityBoard range, which combines a large touch panel, a conference camera, speakers and a computer in one unit for meeting rooms. Because production has ended, the most useful first step is to compare this model's specifications against current options. SmartRooms Qatar recommends that buyers who need this display also request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement, so the room brief drives the choice.

Organisations that already own a unit can use these specifications to check whether their room, mounting and power plans suit a replacement.

Panel and touch on a 75-inch 4K screen

The panel is a 75-inch IPS display with a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 and an active area of 1,649.7 x 927.9 mm. Brightness is listed at 500 cd/m², with a shipment setting of 350 cd/m², and a typical contrast ratio of 1,200:1. The glass is 3 mm toughened with an anti-glare coating and 88% light transmission, framed by an 18.8 mm bezel on all sides.

The InGlass touch layer supports up to 20 simultaneous touches and accepts fingers, gloves and styluses of at least 2 mm. Windows Ink and palm rejection are supported, so a presenter can rest a hand on the glass while writing. Touch accuracy is listed below 1 mm, which helps when annotating small tables or diagrams.

Built-in camera, speakers and slot-in computer

The Huddly IQ camera outputs 1080p at 30 frames per second, with a 150-degree diagonal view, digital pan, tilt and zoom with 3x lossless zoom, and Genius Framing. It has no microphone, so audio pickup must be planned separately for larger rooms. Sound comes from the conference speakers, rated at 40 W input and covering 70 Hz to 15 kHz.

The slot-in computer uses an Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of DDR4 memory, a 256 GB SSD and Windows 10 Professional, with Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2. It sits in an OPS slot, an open standard, so the computer module can be replaced without changing the display. Included software is Quicklaunch Ultimate Edition with three years of maintenance and support, FlatFrog Board for Rooms for one year, and Hoylu Connected Workspaces.

Where it fits in Qatar

• Boardroom in West Bay: an executive team in an office tower joins a call with colleagues abroad, using the camera and the Quicklaunch meeting interface.
• Training room in the Industrial Area: a supervisor runs safety briefings where workers present on the touch screen from a single control point.
• Seminar room in Education City: lecturers and visiting researchers annotate shared documents at the front of the room during small group sessions.

Planning the installation and room conditions

Without its stand the display weighs 80.3 kg and measures 1,944.6 x 1,003 x 86 mm. It supports VESA patterns of 400 x 400 and 600 x 400 mm with M8 holes, and an optional wall mount (PDW T XL-2) and two trolleys (PD02MHA and PD03MHA) are listed for it. Confirm the wall structure, fixings and floor space before ordering, and book a free site survey so the mounting position suits sightlines and cable routes.

Operating conditions are 0 to +35°C and 20 to 80% humidity. That range suits an air-conditioned meeting room, but not a spot near an unshaded window or an outdoor setting in summer, when temperatures in Doha can exceed 45°C. Power consumption is 167 W in the shipping configuration and below 0.5 W in power-saving mode.

The manufacturer's warranty is three years and includes the backlight, with optional fourth and fifth year extensions. Request a quote for the InfinityBoard 2.2 QL or a current equivalent, and SmartRooms Qatar will return a quotation usually within one working day.
