V463-TM

What the V463-TM is and why it is discontinued

The NEC MultiSync V463-TM is a 46-inch touch display from the MultiSync V Series, built for rooms where people write, draw and select content directly on the screen. It uses a 16:9 AMVA3 panel with edge LED backlighting and a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. NEC has discontinued this model, so this page serves organisations that already run it, buyers comparing it with newer displays, and anyone who needs a replacement.

Optical touch, brightness and glass for bright rooms

Four integrated cameras detect input across the 1,018 x 573 mm active area, and the surface responds to a finger, a stylus or a gloved hand. On Windows 7 and Windows 8, the display supports up to five simultaneous touch points with gesture control. Windows Vista is listed for four touch points, while Windows XP, Mac OS and Linux are listed for one. The 4 mm fully tempered front glass has double-sided anti-reflection treatment, with a stated 96% light transmission and 2% reflection rate. Brightness is rated at 480 cd/m2 with an eco setting at 171 cd/m2, the typical contrast ratio is 4,000:1, and grey-to-grey response is 6.5 ms.

Connecting it: OPS slot, inputs and control

The OPS slot changes the cabling. It follows the NEC and Intel OPS standard, so a compatible slot-in PC or signal interface sits inside the display, removing the external PC box and the USB and video cables it would otherwise need. Listed options include Intel Core i5 and i7 slot-in PCs, with WS7P recommended for Core i5 or i7, and HD-SDI 1.5 and 3G interfaces. The slot draws up to 61 W at 16 V and 4 A.

Video inputs are DisplayPort, DVI-D and HDMI 1.3, all with HDCP, plus D-sub 15-pin and composite BNC. There is a DVI-D output, LAN 100Mbit and RS232 for network and serial control, and an infrared remote with an optional external sensor. The shipping list includes a DVI-D cable, a USB cable, a power cable and the remote control, with free LAN control software available as a download.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three situations suit this model:

• Meeting rooms: A company in West Bay or Msheireb running hybrid meetings with teams abroad can annotate shared documents on a panel at close range, with the OPS slot keeping the room tidy.
• Education: A private school in Al Wakrah or a training centre in Education City can use it in classrooms and seminar rooms, where a few students work at the board at a time.
• Wayfinding and reception: A mall, clinic or office lobby in Al Sadd or Lusail can run an interactive directory, provided the space is air-conditioned and within the rated temperature range.

Planning the installation before you order

Plan around the weight of 27.7 kg without stand and the footprint of 1,095 x 650 x 80.3 mm. The VESA pattern is 300 x 300 mm with four M6 holes, and the source lists wall mount and trolley options. The operating range is 0 to +35 degrees Celsius with 20 to 80% humidity, so the display must sit in an air-conditioned indoor space, away from direct sun and large windows. Ingress protection is IP40 at the front and IP20 at the back. Power consumption is 77 W in the eco shipment setting, standby is below 0.5 W, and the warranty is three years including the backlight.
