Hubware H2 70

What the Hubware H2 70 is

The OneScreen Hubware H2 70 is a 70-inch interactive display that combines a Full HD touch panel, an integrated camera and speakerphone, and a built-in Windows computer in one unit. It was designed for rooms where people present, annotate and join video calls without bringing separate equipment. The manufacturer has discontinued this model, so this page is written for organisations that already own one, buyers comparing it with newer displays, and anyone looking for a replacement.

Display, touch and camera

The 16:9 panel shows 1920 x 1080 pixels with a 120 Hz refresh rate at 30 frames per second, and it carries a 4000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Touch is infrared, so no pressure is needed. The surface recognises six touch points, with a scanning speed of 8 ms and a tolerance of ±1.5 mm. Users can write with a finger or any solid object, and protective skin glass covers the screen.

The integrated Logitech ConferenceCam CC3000e uses a ZEISS glass lens with auto-focus and a 90-degree field of view. Its motorised pan, tilt and zoom are controlled from the remote, covering 260 degrees of pan, 130 degrees of tilt and 10x zoom. Up to four cameras can be used at the same time, which helps in rooms where a second angle on a presenter or whiteboard is needed.

Built-in PC, connections and conferencing

• Intel Core i7 processor with 8 GB DDR3 memory
• 1 TB drive plus 128 GB SSD storage
• Windows 7 Professional, upgradable to Windows 8
• Four HDMI inputs, one HDMI output, VGA, two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports
• Ethernet and built-in 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless, with IP control
• Two built-in 10 W speakers and full-duplex microphones with echo cancellation

The conferencing software is delivered under an annual subscription. It includes one host with up to 25 guest accounts, multi-party calls with up to 99 participants on WebRTC/OneScreen, and up to 8 ad hoc and SIP/H.323 participants. It integrates with Microsoft Lync, Skype, Adobe Connect and Cisco WebEx, and all meetings are encrypted by default.

Where it fits in Qatar

A 70-inch panel suits a mid-sized room rather than a large lecture hall. In an office in West Bay or Msheireb, a team in Doha can join calls with colleagues abroad, with the camera covering the room and the display showing shared content. In a training room in the Industrial Area, a trainer can work through a procedure on the touch surface, and the four HDMI inputs let different laptops connect without constant cable changes.

In a private school in Al Rayyan or Al Wakrah, the unit can serve as a classroom display. Whether presentations run in Arabic or English depends on the content you bring, so confirm language support with the team. A government office in Lusail could use it for briefings with presenters working in both languages.

What to plan before ordering

At 199.4 lbs, with a display measuring 64.5 x 42.9 x 5.91 inches, this is a heavy panel. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check the wall, the access route and the power point before installation. The power supply is rated for AC 100-240V at 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Confirm the power cord for BS 1363 sockets with the team. The source data does not give an operating temperature range, so confirm the environment before placing the unit near a window, where summer temperatures can exceed 45°C.

The packed size without pallet is 74.6 x 45.9 x 12.6 inches. The unit includes a Logitech K400 full-size wireless touch keyboard with a 10 m range, plus monitor and camera remotes. The manufacturer's one-year standard warranty applies, and an advanced hardware warranty is available as an option.

Because the Hubware H2 70 is discontinued, send SmartRooms Qatar your room size, number of units and video platform, and request a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement. Quotations are usually issued within one working day.
