Apprimo TEC-X 1000

What the Apprimo TEC-X 1000 Black does in a room

The Apprimo TEC-X 1000 Black is a touch control panel from Biamp, built for Tesira-based AV systems. It gives a presenter, chair or room operator a 2.9-inch touch screen and a rotary knob at a fixed wall position, so routine room functions do not depend on a laptop or a separate keypad. At 130 mm high, 90 mm wide, 13 mm deep and 159 g, it is compact enough for a standard wall position, and its black finish suits boardrooms and meeting rooms where controls should look understated.

Touch screen, rotary knob and status feedback

The high-contrast capacitive LCD can show up to six buttons, and the function behind each button is set in Tesira design software. The rotary encoder handles level controls by stepping a value up or down, which suits volume or gain adjustments. An RGB LED bar gives optional feedback on mute and system state, and its brightness is adjustable. The screen also responds to ambient light, so text stays legible in a sunlit meeting room and in a dim evening session.

Power, cabling and daisy chaining

Each unit is powered over its Ethernet connection under IEEE 802.3at Class 3 at 15 W, and draws less than 2 W at maximum. A single RJ-45 connection using Cat 5e or higher cable carries both power and control data. Chains of up to four units are supported, which reduces the number of cable runs and data outlets in a room with more than one control point.

• Confirm that the switch port supplies Class 3 PoE before ordering
• Use Cat 5e or higher cable with RJ-45 terminations
• Plan no more than four units in any single daisy chain
• Check the wall box against the 130 x 90 x 13 mm footprint

Where it fits in Qatar

A government ministry boardroom in Doha can use one panel beside the table, so the chair can control the room without leaving the seat. A university seminar room in Education City might chain two panels, one at the lectern and one near the rear door, if the room programming covers both positions. A training centre in Msheireb that changes its layout between courses can reprogram the buttons in Tesira rather than replace the hardware.

Environment and planning before you order

The ambient operating range is 0 to 40 °C, with humidity from 0 to 95 percent non-condensing and altitudes up to 3,000 m. Summer temperatures in Qatar regularly exceed 45 °C, so this panel belongs in air-conditioned interior rooms rather than on external walls, glass-fronted lobbies or hot service spaces. Ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm the exact position during a free site survey.

The panel carries FCC Part 15B, CE, UL and C-UL listings, RoHS compliance and TAA compliance, with a 5-year manufacturer warranty. The source data does not list a Qatar-specific approval, so confirm your project requirements before ordering for a government tender. SmartRooms Qatar delivers to all eight municipalities, provides professional installation, and usually issues quotations within one working day. Organisations ordering several units can pay by purchase order (LPO).
