Devio SCR-20C

A compact conferencing kit for small rooms

The Biamp Devio SCR-20C Black pairs a Devio SCR-20 conferencing hub with one black DCM-1 pendant microphone in a single package. It is designed for huddle rooms and small conference rooms where a laptop or a dedicated in-room PC runs the video call. Once installed, the room serves both the local team and people joining from outside the building.

The hub supports bring-your-own-device sessions as well as rooms with a dedicated in-room computer. It works with PCs running Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Cisco Webex and BlueJeans, and it supports both Windows and Mac computers.

Audio and video facts that matter

• Microphone: the DCM-1 pendant uses Beamtracking with 360-degree coverage, so people seated around a table can be heard without a microphone at each seat.
• Amplifier: a built-in single-channel amplifier rated at 20 W, with HDMI audio and RCA line-out available as alternatives for speakers.
• Display output: driverless pass-through HDMI to one in-room display, or two monitors through USB video using DisplayLink graphics.
• Resolution: up to 1920 x 1080 at 50/60 Hz, plus 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz on output port 1 only.
• Setup: Auto Setup validates connections, sets room levels and tunes speaker EQ to improve audio.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a government office in Msheireb, a small meeting room used for calls with colleagues in other cities needs a setup that staff can run without a technician in the room. One hub with a pendant microphone keeps the cabling simple and the room ready for Teams or Zoom calls.

A private school in Al Rayyan equipping a staff meeting room or a parent interview room can use the same kit to connect with external specialists. Because the hub runs from a laptop, teachers can use several platforms without changing hardware. An energy company with project offices in Mesaieed or Ras Laffan can use the room for daily progress calls with site teams and colleagues in Doha, provided the room environment meets the hub's operating range described below.

What to plan before you install

The hub is rated for ambient temperatures of 0 to 40 degrees C and 0 to 95 percent relative humidity without condensation, at altitudes up to 2,000 m. Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45 degrees C, so the hub belongs inside an air-conditioned room, away from direct sun and never in an unventilated cabinet.

• Plan the cable route from the table to the display, using RJ-45 with Cat 5e or higher Ethernet cable.
• Use the included mounting bracket for under-table installation if the hub should stay out of sight.
• Confirm the power arrangement for the 24V DC 60W supply with the SmartRooms Qatar team against Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains.
• Decide whether the room will use the built-in amplifier or an existing display or audio system.
• For several rooms, plan remote management through SNMP or the Devio System Administration Utility.

SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey, which is worth doing before any wall or under-table work in a meeting room. Professional installation can follow once you approve the quotation.

Choosing the black model

Its listed specifications match the white version, so the choice usually comes down to the room finish and how it sits with existing furniture.
