Tesira TEC-1i

What the TEC-1i does inside a Tesira system

The Biamp Tesira TEC-1i is a wall-mounted Ethernet control point for Tesira and TesiraFORTÉ systems. It gives room users a simple touch interface while the processor handles the audio behind it. Each unit is configured in the Tesira system design software, so the same hardware can be set up for a music zone, a conference room or a paging point.

Each TEC-1i can adjust or start 32 selectable system volumes and actions. Volumes can be individual or grouped levels such as inputs, outputs and matrix crosspoints, while actions can cover presets, source selection, mutes, ducking and room combining.

Specifications that shape the installation

• Power: PoE to IEEE 802.3at Class 1, drawing 4W, so no local power supply is needed at the wall.
• Cabling: Unshielded twisted pair, CAT-5, CAT-6 or CAT-7, terminated with RJ-45 or IDC connectors on a 100BaseT interface.
• Reach: 330 ft (100m) per run, extendable with standard PoE routers, switches, hubs or media converters.
• Display: High contrast OLED with a wide viewing angle. Brightness can be matched to ambient light and dims automatically when the panel is not in use.
• Touch: Capacitive, with no protruding or moving parts, which simplifies cleaning.
• Size: 158 mm high, 148 mm wide, 12.7 mm deep, weighing 0.2 kg.
• Mounting: Flush mounts into any wall using the retrofit plate, which is included.
• Compliance and warranty: TAA compliant, certified to RoHS, CE and FCC, with a 5-year manufacturer warranty.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a boardroom at a government ministry in West Bay, a TEC-1i beside the door lets a chairperson switch between presentation and conferencing presets without reaching for a separate controller. The presets are built in the design software, so the room shows a simple layout rather than a technical menu.

In a hotel restaurant or bar in The Pearl, one panel per zone can control background music sources and room volume, either independently per zone or from a single central point. A lecture theatre at a university in Education City can use a panel for individual source volume control during lectures and hybrid sessions with partners abroad.

Planning the installation

Confirm the wall location and cable route before ordering. The manufacturer data we hold does not list an operating temperature range, so if a panel will sit on a wall facing external glazing, where summer temperatures above 45°C are common, ask our team to confirm the environment before fixing. Each unit needs a PoE-capable switch or injector upstream, so check that the network cabinet has spare PoE capacity for every panel.

For multi-room projects, such as a school fitting out several classrooms or a hospital wing with multiple suites, plan the cabling as standard Ethernet. Our free site survey confirms mounting heights, cable runs and panel numbers. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and purchase orders and government tenders are supported.
