C861Q SST

About the NEC MultiSync C861Q SST

The NEC MultiSync C861Q SST is an 86-inch interactive display from the MultiSync C Series, combining a large IPS panel with a 10-point ShadowSense touch overlay for shared work at the front of a room. NEC has discontinued this model. If your organisation already runs one, or you are comparing it with newer screens, SmartRooms Qatar can prepare a quotation for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement that fits the mounting and connections you already have.

Panel and touch performance

The 1,895 x 1,065.9 mm active area uses an IPS panel with edge LED backlighting, a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 and 10-bit colour. Brightness is rated at 350 cd/m², with the shipment setting at 254 cd/m², and the typical contrast ratio is 1,200:1. The 5 mm toughened front glass has an anti-reflective coating on one side and transmits about 92 percent of light, which helps reduce glare from ceiling lights and windows.

Touch supports up to 10 simultaneous touches with an accuracy of under 2 mm and a 12-bit touch resolution of 4096 x 4096. Input works with fingers, gloves and styluses of 2 mm or more, and the touch system is rated for ambient light up to full sunlight. Palm rejection is not listed for this model, so teams who rest a hand on the glass while writing should confirm the behaviour with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering several units.

Connections, OPS slot and control

Inputs include two DisplayPort and three HDMI connections, all with HDCP, plus a DisplayPort output for loop-through. The OPS slot accepts a plug-in computer rated at 4.7 A and 75 W, which lets a boardroom keep its PC behind the screen. A Compute Module 3 slot and several USB 2.0 ports complete the internal setup.

• Control: LAN 100Mbit, RS232 and a 3.5 mm remote control jack, with a LAN output for chaining.
• Integration: the data lists PJLink, SNMP, ASCII control commands, AMX NetLinx and Crestron Connected Support.
• Playback: a built-in MediaPlayer reads microSD and USB storage, with MP4 and MOV video up to 1080p at 30 Hz plus JPG and PNG images.
• Audio: integrated speakers of 10 W + 10 W, with optional 15 W + 15 W speakers.

Room planning: size, weight and environment

Without its stand the unit measures 2,001.5 x 1,170 x 91.4 mm and weighs 90 kg, so the wall or trolley plan needs settling before delivery. The VESA pattern is 400 x 400 or 600 x 400 mm with M8 fixings, and the bezel is 34.1 mm top and bottom and 35.5 mm on each side. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar lets your installer check wall loading, cable routes and viewing height before anything is drilled.

The operating range is 0 to +30°C with 20 to 80 percent humidity, and the ingress rating is IP5x at the front and IP2x at the back. Summer temperatures in Qatar regularly pass 45°C, so this display belongs in an air-conditioned room, away from sun-facing windows, lobbies open to outdoor heat and dusty areas. Power draw is 242 W in the shipment Eco setting and below 0.5 W in power-saving mode.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb, the display works as a shared screen for a ministry or company team reviewing bilingual documents, with the presenter's PC docked in the OPS slot and handwritten notes made with Windows Ink in MS Office applications. In a training room at Education City, an instructor can write over a lesson with the supplied pen and eraser. A school in Al Rayyan equipping several classrooms can order units under a purchase order and plan the wall fixings for each room.

Shipping contents include the display, a DisplayPort cable, a USB cable, a remote control, a pen and eraser, and a CD-ROM with user guides. SmartRooms Qatar delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar, offers professional installation, and usually issues quotations within one working day.

To plan an order, send your room sizes, wall type and number of units, and request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar. We will confirm a current equivalent or compatible replacement for this discontinued model within the quotation.
