Overview
The Biamp Impera Tango (910-01880) is a PoE-powered touch panel controller that acts as the central AV control unit for a room. It provides three bidirectional and two unidirectional RS-232 ports, four assignable relays and eight GPIO ports, and it manages up to five Apprimo touch panels. It suits classrooms, boardrooms and multi-purpose halls in Qatar that need one controller to run displays, audio, switchers and room sensors.
The Biamp Impera Tango (model 910-01880) is a touch panel controller built to run the AV functions of a room from one unit. It drives the Apprimo touch panels in the space and connects to displays, audio equipment, switchers and sensors through its serial, relay and GPIO ports. Because it is powered over Ethernet, one cable run can supply power and carry control traffic.
What the controller manages in a room
The Tango supports up to five Apprimo touch panel interfaces from a single controller. That suits a large room with more than one control point, or a group of connected spaces that share one unit. Interfaces are built in Biamp's Project Designer software, where layouts can range from simple button pages to multi-page control schemes. The specifications list support for 10 third-party devices and 8 Biamp devices.
Ports, relays and I/O for connected equipment
The controller has three bidirectional RS-232 ports and two unidirectional RS-232 ports, each on a 3-pin Euroblock connector. Baud rates run from 1200 to 115200 bit/s, and the RS-232 ports can also send IR control. Its I/O breaks down as follows:
- Four assignable relays rated at 30 VDC and 0.5 A, suited to switching devices such as a motorised screen
- Eight open-drain GPIO ports, rated at a maximum of 24 VDC and 0.5 A, for switches and sensors
- IR frequency range from 400 Hz to 500 kHz
Power, network and operating environment
The unit is PoE powered with a Class 3 input rated at 15 W, and its PoE output is rated at 12 W when it receives 15 W. It connects through an RJ-45 port on Ethernet cabling rated CAT5e or better, at 10/100 Mbps with autosense. The ambient operating range is 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F), with 10 to 90 percent relative humidity, non-condensing. Outdoor and summer temperatures in Qatar regularly exceed 45 °C, so the Tango should sit inside an air-conditioned room, not in an unventilated cabinet that heats up.
Where it fits in Qatar
In a ministry boardroom in Msheireb, one Tango can control a large display, a motorised screen and room lighting from a wall-mounted Apprimo panel at the head of the table. In a private school in Al Rayyan with several classrooms, each room can have its own controller, and a single unit can serve a teacher panel plus a student station. A hotel meeting room in Lusail that changes layout for different events can use the relays and RS-232 links to switch between set-ups.
What to plan before ordering
List every device that needs control, including RS-232, IR, relay and GPIO connections, and confirm that the PoE source provides Class 3 power at 15 W. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys to check cable routes and room conditions before a quotation, and quotations are usually issued within one working day. Purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, are accepted, and the product carries the manufacturer's 5-year warranty.

Questions about Impera Tango
What is the Biamp Impera Tango used for?
The Impera Tango is a touch panel controller that acts as the central AV control unit in a room. It runs Apprimo touch panels and connects to displays, audio equipment, switchers, lighting and sensors through its serial, relay and GPIO ports. It suits classrooms, meeting rooms and multi-purpose spaces where one controller should run the whole room from a single touch interface.
How many touch panels can one Impera Tango control?
One Impera Tango supports up to five Apprimo touch panel interfaces. This makes it practical for a large room with more than one control point, or for a set of connected spaces that share one controller. Plan the panel count at the design stage, because each panel location affects cable routes and where the controller sits in the room.
Does the Impera Tango need a separate power adapter?
No, the Impera Tango is PoE powered. Its input is rated Class 3 at 15 W, so the Ethernet switch or PoE injector feeding it must provide that class of power. Its PoE output is rated at 12 W when the unit receives 15 W. Confirm the PoE source during planning, since the controller relies on it for all of its power.
Which control ports does it provide for third-party equipment?
The Tango has three bidirectional RS-232 ports and two unidirectional RS-232 ports, all on 3-pin Euroblock connectors. The RS-232 ports can also be used for IR control. Baud rates run from 1200 to 115200 bit/s, with 7 or 8 data bits, even, odd or no parity, and 1 or 2 stop bits. The specifications list support for 10 third-party devices.
What are the relays and GPIO ports used for?
The Tango includes four assignable relays rated at 30 VDC and 0.5 A, plus eight GPIO ports. Relays suit switching a device such as a motorised projection screen, while GPIO ports take input from switches and sensors. The GPIO ports are open drain, rated up to 24 VDC and 0.5 A, and are not isolated, so confirm the wiring with the design team before connecting.
How is the touch interface set up?
The interface is configured in Biamp's Project Designer software. Layouts can range from simple button pages to complex multi-page control schemes, and each room can have its own design. Plan the page structure around the people who will use the room, such as presenters, teachers or meeting hosts, before programming begins.
What temperature and humidity can it operate in? Can it go in a hot Qatar room?
The ambient operating range is 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F), with 10 to 90 percent relative humidity, non-condensing. Qatar summers regularly push temperatures above 45 °C outdoors, so install the Tango in an air-conditioned room or a conditioned space, not in an unventilated cabinet that heats up. Confirm the exact location with the SmartRooms Qatar team before fixing.
Is it suitable for a lecture theatre in Education City?
It can be, provided the theatre is air-conditioned and the presenter needs one touch panel to manage the screen, lighting and AV routing. The relays and RS-232 ports cover common lecture-hall devices, and a second panel can be added at the lectern or a rear control point, up to five panels in total. Plan cable runs and the rack location during the site survey.
What would it look like in a West Bay boardroom?
A boardroom in West Bay with a large display, a motorised screen and room lighting could use one Tango to control all of them from a wall-mounted Apprimo panel at the head of the table. Relays can handle the screen, GPIO inputs can take a door or occupancy sensor, and RS-232 links can connect the display and audio. Send the device list with your quote request so the configuration matches the room.
Can a school in Al Rayyan with several classrooms use it?
Yes, if each classroom or shared learning area has its own controller. A single Tango supports up to five Apprimo panels, so one unit can serve a classroom with a teacher panel and a student station, or a shared room across the school. For a multi-room school order, a purchase order (LPO) with device counts for each room keeps the quotation clear.
Does SmartRooms Qatar supply it for government tenders or LPOs?
Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Include the quantity, the room list and the required Apprimo panel count in your request. The product carries the manufacturer's 5-year warranty, and quotations are usually issued within one working day.
What network connection and certifications does it have?
The controller connects through an RJ-45 port on Ethernet cabling rated CAT5e or better, at 10/100 Mbps with autosense. It is listed with FCC Part 15B, UL listed for the USA and Canada, CE marked and RoHS compliant. Check that your network switch and cabling meet these requirements before installation.
