Overview
The Dahua DSCON8000-S13 is a 5U rack-mount splicing controller for video walls. It offers 13 input and output slots, an 8-inch touch screen for local control and 4K signal handling with embedded audio. Splicing, scaling, windowing, roaming and layering are included, with up to 128 stored scene presets. It suits control rooms, conference halls and exhibition halls in Qatar that need a scalable wall.

What the DSCON8000-S13 does on a video wall
The Dahua DSCON8000-S13 is a 5U rack-mount splicing controller that takes several video sources, scales and crops them, and maps them across a bank of displays. Everything runs from one chassis, so a control room does not need a separate box for each job. It suits walls that change layout during the day, such as a welcome screen in the morning and a live feed or a set of dashboards in the afternoon.
Slot layout and card options
The chassis offers 13 slots for input and output cards. Two are dedicated to input, six to output, and the remaining five can take either role, so the build can follow your source count and screen count. Cards to know about include:
- VI0401EHP-DC8000: four HDMI 2.0 and four DisplayPort 1.2 inputs, selectable per channel, with HDCP 2.2
- VI0801HH-DC8000: eight HDMI 1.4 inputs with HDCP 1.4
- VO0201EH-DC8000: two HDMI 2.0 outputs, with resolutions up to 4096 × 2160@60 Hz
- VO0801HH-DC8000: eight HDMI 1.3 outputs
- VS20N-DC8000: 20 RJ-45 network outputs that occupy two output slots and can transmit up to 13 million pixels per card
Some input cards run at half performance in slot 13, including the four-input HDMI 2.0 card and the eight-input HDMI 1.4 card, so agree slot positions with the team before ordering.
Control, scenes and layouts
Operators can work from the 8-inch touch screen (1280 × 800) on the unit, an external monitor and mouse, a web page, a desktop client, a mobile client or a network keyboard. Up to 128 scene presets can be stored, and the layout of each scene on the wall can be customized. Windows can be opened, roamed across screens, layered or cropped to show only a selected area. Layering supports up to 56 layers in 2K or 14 layers in 4K. Multi-screen splits include 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 16, 25 and 36, plus custom M × N grids. Subtitles can run on single or spliced screens with adjustable font, colour, spacing, background and speed. An SDK is available for integration into a wider control platform.
Power, cooling and redundancy for Qatar sites
A single power supply, a single main control card and an intelligent temperature-controlled fan come in the box. A second power supply and a hot standby main control card are optional and purchased separately. The power input is 100–240 VAC at 50–60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V supply, and maximum power consumption is 550 W. The supplies support hot swapping. The rated operating range is –10 °C to +50 °C with 10–90% humidity, non-condensing. Doha summers can pass 45 °C, so place the unit in an air-conditioned comms room or cabinet with clear airflow rather than in a hot cupboard.
Where it fits in Qatar
A hotel ballroom in West Bay might run a 4 × 4 wall for conferences, with the technical team switching between speakers, slides and a remote feed. A lecture theatre in Education City can use a 4K wall with saved presets for each lecture format. An exhibition hall in Lusail that rebuilds its wall between shows can store a custom M × N layout for each event. A ministry control room in Doha can host a monitoring wall with the controller in a cooled rack.

Questions about DSCON8000-S13
What is the DSCON8000-S13 used for?
It is a 5U splicing controller that combines several video sources and displays them across one video wall. The manufacturer lists conference halls, exhibition halls, meeting rooms and outdoor advertising venues as suitable settings. Scaling, windowing and stored presets let one operator change what the wall shows without touching each display.
How many input and output slots does it have?
The chassis has 13 slots for input and output cards: two for input, six for output, and five that can be used for either. The switching card and main control card take additional slots, bringing the total to 15. Some input cards run at half performance in slot 13, so plan the card mix before ordering.
Which video inputs and outputs are supported?
Input cards accept HDMI 1.4, HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2, with HDCP 1.4 or HDCP 2.2 depending on the card. Output cards provide HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 2.0 ports, and sending cards drive LED displays over RJ-45 network ports. The chassis also includes two gigabit Ethernet ports and two gigabit fiber ports.
Can it drive a 4K lecture wall at Education City?
Yes. The HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 input cards accept 3840 × 2160@60 Hz, and the VO0201EH-DC8000 output card supports 4096 × 2160@60 Hz. Audio can be carried with the video. Note that 4K layering supports up to 14 layers, compared with 56 in 2K, so plan window layouts accordingly.
Can it run a 3 × 3 or 4 × 4 wall in an exhibition hall in Lusail?
Yes for common grids. Split modes include 9 and 16 screens, and custom M × N layouts are supported. Where a hall changes its wall layout between shows, up to 128 stored presets let the crew recall each arrangement quickly. Confirm the card count with your integrator before the displays are cabled.
Is a second power supply worth it for a West Bay hotel ballroom?
A second power supply is optional and bought separately, so it is a decision to make at quotation stage. For a ballroom where the wall must stay up through a conference, a dual supply and hot standby main control card add resilience. The unit supports hot swapping of its power supplies, which helps during maintenance.
Will it run on Qatar's 240 V supply?
Yes. The power input is 100–240 VAC at 50–60 Hz with 8 A rating, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Maximum power consumption is 550 W. Confirm the supplied power cord with the SmartRooms Qatar team so it suits the BS 1363 (Type G) sockets in your room.
Can it cope with summer heat in a Doha server room?
The rated operating range is –10 °C to +50 °C with 10–90% humidity, non-condensing. Doha summers can exceed 45 °C, so keep the rack in an air-conditioned comms room with clear airflow around the vents. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm room conditions during the site survey.
How do operators control the wall day to day?
Operators can use the 8-inch 1280 × 800 touch screen on the unit, an external monitor and mouse, a web page, a desktop client, a mobile client or a network keyboard. An SDK is available for integrating the controller into a broader control platform, which suits facilities teams that already run their own software.
Can I add a backup controller later?
Yes. A hot standby main control card is an optional dual main control option, purchased separately from the chassis. Ask for it and the second power supply in the same quotation so the chassis is configured correctly from the start, rather than being upgraded later on site.
What rack space and weight should we plan for?
The chassis measures 221.8 mm high, 484.0 mm wide and 416.0 mm deep, occupying 5U. Net weight is 14.93 kg and gross weight is 20.6 kg. Confirm rack depth and load rating before delivery, and use the free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar to check cable routing and airflow.
We are buying several controllers under a government tender. Can we pay by purchase order?
Yes. SmartRooms Qatar supplies against purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and accepts payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Send your tender specification and screen count, and the team will quote the DSCON8000-S13 units with the input and output cards each wall requires.
