Name: NEC MultiSync V552 IRT 55-inch Multi-Touch Interactive Display
Brand: NEC
SKU: nec-v552-irt
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The NEC MultiSync V552 IRT is a discontinued 54.5-inch Full HD interactive display with infrared touch that tracks up to six simultaneous touches, including gloved hands and styluses. Its 4 mm toughened anti-reflective glass front and OPS slot suit classrooms, meeting rooms and kiosks. Qatar organisations that already run this model, or need a replacement, can request a quote for a current equivalent.

What the V552 IRT is and why it suits shared screens

The NEC MultiSync V552 IRT is a 54.5-inch interactive display from the V Series, built on a 16:9 panel at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Its infrared touch layer sits in front of the panel and reads up to six simultaneous touches, so several people can work on the same screen during a lesson or meeting. The manufacturer has discontinued this model. This page is written for organisations that already run it, for buyers comparing it with newer displays, and for anyone who needs a replacement.

Touch performance and the specifications that matter

The touch system uses Cell Imaging infrared technology across a touch active area of 1,220.5 x 686 mm. It responds to a finger, a gloved hand or a stylus, which helps staff who must keep gloves on in workshops or hospital wards. The design is described as calibration-free, with no drift and no re-calibration needed. The frame recognises the size of objects resting on it and rejects them, so a pen case or cup on the tray does not trigger the screen. The 4 mm toughened glass carries a single-side anti-reflective coating, which improves visibility in bright rooms.

Connectivity, expansion and power use

Video inputs include HDMI 1.3, DisplayPort, DVI-D with HDCP, a 15-pin D-sub and composite and component on BNC connectors. Touch data travels over USB 2.0, and control is possible through a 100 Mbit LAN with SNMP, RS-232C or an infrared remote. The OPS option slot accepts a slot-in PC so the computer sits inside the display, and the datasheet recommends a Core i5 or Core i7 module with WS7P. Integrated 10 W + 10 W speakers are fitted. Consumption is 100 W in shipping mode, rising to 235 W at maximum, and standby is below 0.5 W. An external power supply is included.

Where it fits in Qatar

Classrooms and group work: a school in Education City or an Arabic-curriculum school in Al Rayyan fitting out a small classroom or group table. Multi-touch lets two or more pupils annotate at the same time.
Compact meeting rooms: a boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb where attendees sit close to the screen. A 54.5-inch panel fits without dominating the room, and the HDMI input takes a laptop directly.
Retail and wayfinding: a kiosk in a Doha shopping mall or a directory in a hotel lobby. Keep it away from direct sunlight through glazing, because brightness is 320 cd/m² in shipping mode and 450 cd/m² at maximum.

What to plan before ordering

The operating temperature range is 0 to +40°C, while summer temperatures in Qatar can pass 45°C. Install the display in an air-conditioned room, not beside a window or in an open entrance, and confirm the room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering. The unit weighs 48 kg without its stand. Wall mounting uses a 300 x 300 mm VESA pattern with four M6 holes, and the PDWHM-M wall mount is listed as an option. A free site survey lets structural checks and cable routing be planned before delivery. The bezel measures 34 mm on all sides.

Tell us the quantity, the room or kiosk location and whether you need a slot-in PC, then request a quote. Our team will reply with a quotation, usually within one working day, and accepts LPOs and government tender submissions.

Questions about V552 IRT

Is the NEC V552 IRT still available, and what should we buy instead?

NEC has discontinued the V552 IRT, so new units may not be available from the manufacturer. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current interactive display with comparable specifications for your use. Send us the room size, the number of units and whether you need multi-touch, and our team will return a quotation, usually within one working day.

What screen size and resolution does the V552 IRT have?

The panel measures 54.5 inches (138.8 cm) on a 16:9 aspect ratio, with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. It accepts 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 720 and several other PC resolutions over digital and analogue inputs, and supports landscape and portrait orientation. The on-screen display can be rotated for portrait mounting, which helps with signage and kiosk layouts.

How many touch points does it support, and does it work with gloves?

The V552 IRT uses infrared Cell Imaging touch with real multi-touch for up to six simultaneous touches. Input works with a finger, a gloved hand or a stylus, which suits staff in workshops or hospital wards who keep gloves on. The touch active area is 1,220.5 x 686 mm, and the datasheet lists an average sample rate of approximately 61 ms, with up to 200 fps.

Can a PC be installed inside the display?

Yes. The OPS option slot follows the open NEC and Intel OPS specification and accepts a slot-in PC, which removes the need for a separate media player on the desk. The slot is rated at 16 V and 4 A with a maximum power consumption of 61 W. The datasheet recommends a Core i5 or Core i7 slot-in PC with WS7P, but the slot-in PC is listed as an option, so confirm the module with our team before ordering.

Which operating systems support native multi-touch?

The datasheet lists native multi-touch for Windows 7, Windows 8, Linux and Android. Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS X are listed with default mouse operation only. Touch drivers come on the CD-ROM in the box, and the USB 2.0 cable carries touch data to the computer. If your school or organisation runs a newer Windows release, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm driver support before ordering.

Will it cope with Qatar's summer heat in a classroom or lobby?

The operating temperature range is 0 to +40°C, and storage is -20 to +60°C. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C, so the display should sit in an air-conditioned room, not beside a sunlit window or in an open entrance. Before installation, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to check your room's cooling against the stated operating range.

Is it suitable for a small meeting room in West Bay?

Yes. A 54.5-inch panel suits a compact meeting room or small boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb, where attendees sit close enough to write and annotate. The HDMI input connects a laptop directly, and the integrated 10 W + 10 W speakers cover small groups. Larger halls will usually need a bigger screen.

Can it work as a retail or wayfinding kiosk in a Doha shopping mall?

It can. The anti-reflective coating and 4 mm toughened glass suit public use, and the design is described as calibration-free with no drift. Brightness is 320 cd/m² in shipping mode and 450 cd/m² at maximum, so place it away from direct sunlight through glass frontages. VESA 300 x 300 mm mounting and a trolley option are listed for free-standing layouts.

What do we need to plan for before wall mounting?

The display weighs 48 kg without its stand, so wall mounting needs a structural check and a free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar. The rear uses a 300 x 300 mm VESA pattern with four M6 holes. The datasheet lists the PDWHM-M and PDW-series wall mounts as options. Plan cable routing for DVI-D, HDMI and USB runs, and allow space for the external power supply.

How much power does it draw?

Consumption is 100 W in shipping mode, rising to a maximum of 235 W, and drops below 0.5 W in ECO standby. An external power supply is included. For a school fitting several units into one room, add these figures to your air-conditioning and electrical planning, and confirm the connection arrangements with SmartRooms Qatar before ordering.

Which inputs and control options are available?

Video inputs include HDMI 1.3, DisplayPort, DVI-D with HDCP, a 15-pin D-sub, and composite and component on BNC. Audio comes in through HDMI, DisplayPort or a 3.5 mm jack. Control is possible over a 100 Mbit LAN with SNMP, RS-232C or an infrared remote. The datasheet also lists NaViSet Administrator 2 for managing connected displays from one central location.

Can we order through an LPO or a government tender?

Yes. The source lists a 3-year warranty including the backlight. SmartRooms Qatar supplies with delivery to all eight municipalities of Qatar and professional installation, and accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat. Payment is by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Request a quote with model code V552 IRT and the quantity so the quotation covers every unit.
