NearHub Decode ND10

What the NearHub Decode ND10 does in a NearHub Rooms installation

The Nearity NearHub Decode ND10 is the decoding unit in the NearHub Rooms solution. It receives audio and video conference signals over the network and passes them to a display through HDMI, so a screen does not need its own direct cable from the source equipment. Because the signal travels across the network, the decoder can sit close to the display while the source equipment is installed elsewhere in the building.

Within NearHub Rooms, the ND10 can show the same conference content on several screens, or send different content to different displays. Those displays may sit in one room or in separate conference rooms. That flexibility suits organisations that want one meeting to appear in a boardroom and an overflow room at the same time.

Video output, KVM and what they mean for your room

The HDMI output supports resolutions up to 4K at 30 frames per second. That is well suited to documents, slides and shared applications on large screens in meeting rooms and lecture halls. Buyers with a requirement for higher frame rates should confirm it with the SmartRooms Qatar team before asking for a quotation.

KVM over IP allows an operator at one location to control a computer at another location across the network. The ND10 carries the mouse and keyboard control signals along with audio and video, which gives IT staff remote management and maintenance access without a visit to each room.

Where it fits in Qatar

• Universities: a training centre in Education City or Lusail that runs lectures across several rooms can show one session on a main hall screen and a second room display at the same time.
• Government ministries: a ministry in Msheireb with boardrooms on different floors can present the same meeting in each room, while the IT team maintains the room computers from a central desk.
• Companies in West Bay: teams in Doha and abroad join one call, and the meeting feed is distributed to separate rooms inside the office.

What to plan before you order

Start with a list of rooms and displays. The ND10 is suited to setups where screens must show shared or separate content, so count each endpoint and note which room it serves. Next, check the network path between the source equipment and every decoder, because the unit relies on the network to carry audio, video and control signals.

The manufacturer data for the ND10 does not give a power input or an operating temperature range. Ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm power and environmental conditions for the intended location, especially if the unit will sit in a hot equipment cabinet during summer, when temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C. Nearity offers a 1-year warranty on its products covering quality-related issues.

SmartRooms Qatar can include supply, delivery to all eight municipalities and professional installation in your quotation. A free site survey can confirm display positions and cable routes before you commit. Payment is accepted by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order, and government buyers can order against an LPO.

Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar with your room count, display numbers and network details, and the team will return a quotation usually within one working day.
