TD-55DKU

What the TD-55DKU is built to do

The TD-55DKU is a freestanding double-sided kiosk with a 55-inch TFT panel on each face, so a single unit can show the same material to people approaching from opposite directions, or split it into two messages. The manufacturer rates it for 24/7 operation and classifies it for indoor use. Because it stands on its own base, it does not need a wall fixing, which makes it practical for open lobbies, mall concourses and reception floors where a suitable wall is not available.

Specifications that matter for a buying decision

Each screen runs at 3840x2160 Ultra HD with a pixel pitch of 0.227mm horizontally and vertically, which keeps small text and fine graphics legible at normal reading distance. Brightness is rated at 400cd/m2, and the viewing angle is listed at 89 in each of the four directions. The typical grey-to-grey response time is 6 ms, the MTBF rating is 50000, and the colour specification is 16.7M/1.07B colours with 95% CIE1931 coverage.

Playback is handled by an integrated Android player with 2GB memory and 8GB storage. Several factory options are available:

• Memory upgrades to 4GB, 8GB or 16GB
• SSD storage options for additional capacity
• Windows media players with Intel i3, i5 or i7 processors, each with 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD
• A version with no internal player, which takes content through an HDMI input
• Optional IR or capacitive touch, and digital signage software with 1GB cloud server storage

Where it fits in Qatar

Three situations show when a double-sided freestanding unit justifies its floor space:

• A shopping mall in Lusail or West Bay: placed in a walkway, one unit can promote a store or event to shoppers arriving from both ends of the corridor.
• A hotel or serviced apartment lobby in Msheireb: the face toward the front desk can show arrival information, while the opposite face carries dining and venue content for guests waiting near the lifts.
• A university reception in Education City: bilingual wayfinding can run on one face, with event schedules on the other, updated by staff through the player's interface.

Planning the location and power

The source data does not list cabinet dimensions or weight, so check the footprint against the manufacturer drawing included with your quotation before choosing a position. Consider both faces: each needs a clear line of sight, and the rear needs room for cable access and airflow. The stated input range is 10V to 240V, which covers Qatar's 240 V mains supply. The frequency rating is not in the data, so confirm the power arrangement with the SmartRooms Qatar team, including the plug and cable for BS 1363 sockets.

The application is listed as indoor only, and the source gives no operating temperature range. Where the kiosk would sit near a glass entrance or loading door exposed to summer heat above 45 degrees Celsius or to dust, have the position reviewed during a free site survey before committing.
