Portable Capture System

What the Portable Capture System includes

The MAXHUB Portable Capture System is built around a Portable Capture Host with a fully integrated touchscreen. The host controls the wireless pan-tilt cameras and receives audio and video from them, along with the wireless microphones. One operator can frame, follow and record a session from a single screen, which removes the need to coordinate several separate controllers during a live event.

Because every link is wireless, the system suits spaces where permanent cabling is impractical: a temporary marquee, a school hall that is rarely fitted out for filming, or a tight room where a fixed camera would not fit.

Camera, microphone and transmission details that matter

• 40x zoom on the wireless camera, for filming distant stages, pitches and performers.
• Intelligent speaker tracking that adjusts the camera to follow a presenter automatically.
• End-to-end 4K recording, from capture through to the recorded output.
• Wireless audio and video transmission up to 100 meters between the cameras and the host.
• Six-hour battery life on the wireless microphones, with fast charging when the set is turned around between sessions.

The camera has a built-in sound pickup unit that captures ambient sound around the room, and the microphones connect automatically once switched on. Each microphone is compact and lightweight and can be worn in several ways, which helps when a presenter moves across a stage or a sports field. The camera and microphone carry their own batteries, so no external power source is needed at those points.

The host connects through Wi-Fi 6 or a wired connection, giving two networking routes that back each other up. It also integrates automatically with a MAXHUB whiteboard, so annotated board content can be included in the recording.

Where it fits in Qatar

• A private school in Al Wakrah recording an end-of-year concert in an outdoor courtyard, with the host operated from a table beside the stage.
• A lecture hall in Education City where a faculty team records guest lectures and shares them with students who cannot attend in person.
• A community sports tournament in Al Rayyan, where the 40x zoom and tracking follow play across a large field while the microphones pick up referees and coaches.

Planning a deployment in Qatar's climate

The source data for this system does not state an operating temperature range or an outdoor rating. Before placing cameras in open sun during summer, when temperatures in Qatar regularly pass 45°C, or in dusty conditions, confirm the environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team. Covering the cameras or positioning them in shade is a practical question to settle during planning rather than on the day.

A free site survey lets the team check the distances between the cameras, the host and the audience against the 100-meter transmission range, and choose sensible camera positions. Plan charging for the microphones between sessions, given the six-hour battery life. The system is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Schools and government entities can order through a purchase order, an LPO or a government tender, and quotations are usually issued within one working day.

Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar with your venue, the distances involved and the length of your sessions, and our team will confirm what suits your deployment.
