Biamp EasyConnect MPX 100 BYOM AV Switcher
- Platforms
- TAA Compliant
The Biamp EasyConnect MPX 100 is a BYOM AV switcher that lets a guest connect their own laptop to a meeting room already equipped with a dedicated Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms system. One USB and one HDMI cable pair moves the room display and USB peripherals to the laptop automatically, with no drivers needed. It offers HDMI 2.0 output for displays up to 4K and extra USB ports for cameras, microphones and touchscreens, suiting boardrooms and conference rooms in Doha, West Bay and Lusail.
Why a BYOM switcher matters in a UC meeting room
Many boardrooms and conference rooms in Doha are built around a dedicated video conferencing system running Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms. That set-up works well until a visitor, a consultant or a team member needs to join a call on a different platform from their own laptop. The EasyConnect MPX 100 from Biamp handles that handover. It sits between the room's primary compute and the in-room peripherals, so a guest can bring a BYOM laptop and use the display, camera and microphones without calling IT to reconfigure the room.
When a laptop is connected with a USB and HDMI cable pair, the switcher moves the room display and USB peripherals over to that laptop. When the cables are removed, the room returns to its dedicated system. Nothing needs to be reset between meetings.
Key specifications to check before you order

Where the MPX 100 fits in Qatar
Heat is the main site condition to plan for. Summer temperatures in Qatar regularly exceed 45°C, while the MPX 100 is rated for 0-40°C ambient operation. It belongs in an air-conditioned meeting room with proper airflow, not in an unventilated cabinet or a hot ceiling void. Confirm the room's cooling with the SmartRooms Qatar team before placing the unit.
- A government office boardroom in Doha where visiting officials bring laptops running a different conferencing platform from the room's Teams Rooms system.
- A university seminar room in Education City where faculty join partner meetings on Zoom in a room normally set up for Teams.
- A consultancy client room in Lusail where the room display and camera stay usable for a guest's own laptop without moving furniture or cables.
Planning the cabling and installation
A mounting plate with cable retainer is included, and the unit is designed to mount behind the display with cables running to the table. The kit includes two 1 m USB 3.0 Type A-to-B cables, one 5 m USB 3.0 Type B-to-C active cable, two 1 m HDMI 2.0 cables, one 5 m HDMI 2.0 cable and two cable sliders for tabletop wire management. Other lengths are available as optional accessories.
Measure the distance from the display to the table before ordering, because the included cable lengths may not suit every layout. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys to confirm cable routes, wall access and power points before installation. Plan a network drop as well, since the unit uses a Gigabit Ethernet connection for SageVue or web-based monitoring.
