RS232 Joystick
Angekis RS232 Joystick for Saber and Blade Video Conferencing
The Angekis RS232 Joystick is a hardware controller in the Angekis video conferencing accessories range, listed by the manufacturer for the Saber and Blade series. It connects over an RS232 serial interface and gives a room operator physical, hands-on control instead of relying only on software menus. It suits boardrooms, training rooms and lecture spaces in Doha where the host needs quick, direct adjustments during a session. Confirm the pairing with your existing Saber or Blade equipment before you order.
What the Angekis RS232 Joystick is for
The Angekis RS232 Joystick is a dedicated hand controller made for the Saber and Blade series. Rather than depending only on a touch panel or a software menu, a room operator can use a physical joystick for direct control during a meeting or lecture. It is an accessory, so it is purchased alongside the compatible equipment it is designed to work with.
Because the joystick is bought for a specific system, the decision starts with what is already in the room. Confirm which Saber or Blade unit is installed, then check that your control setup can accept an RS232 serial connection.
Compatibility and the RS232 connection
The product is listed for the Saber and Blade series, and its name identifies the RS232 serial interface. RS232 is a long-established control standard, but it only works when both ends of the link agree on the connection. Before ordering, ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm the exact model, cabling and any control-system requirements for your installation.
The source data does not list cable lengths, pin layouts or firmware requirements. These details should be checked against the quotation and manufacturer documentation rather than assumed.
Where it fits in Qatar
- Executive boardroom in West Bay: a chair or host leads video calls with overseas partners and keeps camera adjustments at the table instead of on a wall-mounted screen.
- Lecture theatre in Education City: a lecturer or AV technician makes quick framing changes during recorded or streamed sessions without leaving the teaching position.
- Hybrid meeting room in Msheireb: a government or corporate team connects Doha with colleagues in other cities and uses a dedicated controller so the presentation on screen is not interrupted.
Planning the installation
Start with the room layout. Position the joystick where the operator can reach it without leaning across the table, and plan the cable route to the control unit before the furniture is fixed. The source data does not state an operating temperature range for this joystick, so keep it in the same air-conditioned space as the rest of the conferencing equipment and confirm the environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team. Free site surveys help confirm cable paths and control wiring before anything is ordered.
Schools, universities and government bodies can order against a purchase order (LPO) or a government tender, including Monaqasat, and pay by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Delivery covers all eight municipalities of Qatar, and products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Send your room details and Saber or Blade model to request a quote, and SmartRooms Qatar usually issues quotations within one working day.
