Overview

The Newline NAOS Huddle is a 55-inch 4K interactive display for small meeting rooms, built around a 4K wide-angle camera and an eight-microphone array. The manufacturer has discontinued this model. It suits corporate huddle rooms in Doha, West Bay and Lusail that need one screen for video calls, touch collaboration and Android-based tools. Request a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement.

The Newline NAOS Huddle is a 55-inch interactive display built for small corporate meeting rooms, where a few people share one screen for video calls and touch collaboration. It combines a 4K touch panel with an external 4K wide-angle camera and microphone module, the TC-4V19Z, and runs an Android environment with optional Windows tools. Newline has discontinued this model, so this page serves organisations that already run one, buyers comparing options and anyone looking for a replacement.

Touch, camera and microphones in one huddle-sized screen

The panel offers 3840 x 2160 resolution on a 16:9 LED backlight, with a minimum brightness of 450 cd/m², a 4000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 178° viewing angle, so people seated at the ends of the table can still read content. The anti-glare tempered glass is optically bonded and treated against fingerprints. Projected capacitive touch registers up to 20 points on Windows and 10 points on Android, and the specification lists a fine passive pen. The camera module offers a 120° field of view without distortion correction and 105° with it, while its four-microphone array picks up speech up to 6 m away. The built-in array of eight microphones has a stated 8 m pickup distance, with echo cancellation, beamforming and noise reduction.

Key specifications for planning

Speakers: two 15 W downward-facing speakers with 6 Ω rated impedance.
Dimensions: 1276 x 793 x 70 mm, net weight 35.5 kg, gross weight 43 kg.
Mounting: VESA 400 x 400 mm pattern.
Connectivity: two HDMI 2.0 inputs, two USB-B 3.0 touch ports, two USB-A 3.0 ports, USB-C, RJ45, RS232 and one HDMI 2.0 output.

Platform: Android 8.0, 3 GB RAM, 16 GB storage plus 32 GB external memory.
Panel life: at least 50,000 hours.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a Doha office in West Bay or Msheireb, a huddle display lets a small team join calls with colleagues in Lusail or abroad, with the camera framing the room and the microphones capturing speakers without a separate conference unit. In a research or training room at Education City, the touch surface supports small group work where people write and annotate together. For a company whose meetings move between Arabic and English documents, one large screen keeps the call and the shared file in the same place.

What to plan before you order

At 35.5 kg net, the panel needs a wall mount or stand rated for its weight and matched to the 400 x 400 mm VESA pattern, so a free site survey before drilling is worth booking. The AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz input covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply, but check the socket position against the 1276 x 793 x 70 mm panel outline. The source data does not state an operating temperature range, so confirm the room's conditions, including window sun and air-conditioning position, with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installing. Professional installation is available across Qatar.

Choosing a replacement for a discontinued model

Because Newline no longer offers the NAOS Huddle, owners should decide whether to keep their existing units running or plan a replacement. Compare any successor with the 55-inch size, 4K resolution, 20-point Windows touch and eight-microphone array described above, and check that it offers the same camera and OPS options. Request a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement, and the SmartRooms Qatar team will match the model to your room size and operating system. Quotations are usually returned within one working day.

Questions about NAOS Huddle

Is the Newline NAOS Huddle still sold as a new product?

No. Newline has discontinued the NAOS Huddle, so this page is aimed at organisations that already run one, buyers comparing options and anyone needing a replacement. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement based on your room size, camera needs and operating system. Share your existing setup when you request a quote so the recommendation fits.

Which meeting rooms in Qatar suit a 55-inch huddle display?

A 55-inch screen suits small rooms where a handful of people gather around one table, rather than large boardrooms or lecture halls. In a Doha office in West Bay or Msheireb, it can run video calls to colleagues in Lusail or abroad. In Education City, a research group can use the touch surface for small working sessions where people write and annotate together.

What is the picture quality like?

The panel is 3840 x 2160 (4K) on a 16:9 LED backlight, with a minimum brightness of 450 cd/m², a 4000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 178° viewing angle. Anti-glare tempered glass helps in rooms with overhead lighting or a window to one side. The rated life is at least 50,000 hours.

How does the touch work, and how many people can write at once?

The projected capacitive touch recognises 20 points on Windows and 10 points on Android, so several presenters can write or drag at the same time within those limits. The specification lists a fine passive pen. Optical bonding reduces the gap between glass and panel, and an anti-fingerprint treatment helps keep the surface cleaner between sessions.

Can a remote team see everyone seated around the table?

Yes. The TC-4V19Z module supports up to 3840 x 2160 resolution with a 120° field of view without distortion correction, or 105° with correction. Its four-microphone array picks up speech up to 6 m away. A team in Al Khor or Mesaieed meeting a Doha head office can see the whole table, including people seated near the edges.

Does it work with Windows PCs and Android tools?

Yes. The data describes the product as optimised for Windows and includes interactive tools for Android, with Windows tools listed as optional. An OPS PC is shown as available, and the OPS port supports 4K@60 Hz or 30 Hz. Confirm which Windows tool package you need when requesting a quote, because the source lists it as optional.

What ports does it have?

It has two HDMI 2.0 inputs supporting 4K@60Hz, two USB-A 3.0 ports, two USB-B 3.0 touch ports, one USB-C port, one RJ45 port and one RS232 port. The single HDMI 2.0 output supports 4K@60Hz, 2K@60Hz and 720x480@60Hz. Check your laptops and video sources against these ports before ordering, and mention any adapters you already use.

How heavy is it, and how should it be mounted?

The net weight is 35.5 kg and the gross weight is 43 kg, with an outline of 1276 x 793 x 70 mm. It uses a 400 x 400 mm VESA pattern, so the wall bracket or stand must be rated for the weight. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys before installation, which check wall structure, cable routing and the viewing height for the room.

What power does it need in Qatar?

The input is AC 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz, which covers the 240 V, 50 Hz mains supply used in Qatar. Normal power consumption is up to 175 W, and standby draw is below 0.5 W. Confirm a suitable socket is within reach of the mounting position during the site survey, and ask the installer to check the circuit before the unit is powered.

Can it go near a window in a Doha office with strong sun?

The source data does not give an operating temperature range, so do not assume a sun-exposed position is suitable. Summer temperatures in Doha can exceed 45°C, and direct sunlight on the glass affects how the screen looks. Ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm the room conditions and move the panel away from direct sun during the site survey.

Can a school in Al Wakrah equip several small rooms with this model?

A school can request one quotation covering several units and pay by purchase order (LPO), bank transfer or cheque. Each room needs its own mounting plan, power point and computer connection, so plan the units room by room. Because the NAOS Huddle is discontinued, the quotation should be for a current equivalent or compatible replacement matched to each room's size.

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

A 55-inch huddle display suits a small hotel meeting room or serviced apartment lounge where a few guests join a video call, rather than a ballroom. Plan wall space for a 1276 x 793 mm panel and confirm the room's cooling, because the source data gives no operating temperature range. Request a quote so the team can match a current replacement to the room.
