Release date: 2026-10-12 Clicks:0

From paper material display to remote classroom, analyze how to configure Qtenboard with MT9679/RK3588 multi-platform chip and complete HDMI/USB interface support to help schools and integrators select video booth according to real teaching tasks and verify compatibility

October 2026Qtenboard Procurement GuidelinesRead for about 16 minutes.

High parameters are not necessarily more suitable for the classroom. The focus of procurement is on the ability to clearly display teaching objects and smoothly access existing equipment. Teachers may need to display books, test papers, experimental materials or small objects, enlarge, explain and annotate on the interactive whiteboard, and share the on-site materials with the remote classroom or recording and broadcasting system. Teachers can still focus quickly and complete the connection after moving the booth position.

When purchasing teaching video booths, the objects and classroom processes should be clearly displayed first, and then the resolution, focusing, pickup, interface and software should be compared. The highest parameter has practical value only when the entire teaching link is compatible and the teacher can use it smoothly.

Qtenboard (Shenzhen Qunmao)Founded in 2005, we have been dedicated to interactive display manufacturing for 20 years. We operate a 330,000㎡ smart manufacturing industrial park in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, comprising 16 factory buildings and 8 fully automated production lines, with a daily output capacity of 200 units, serving customers in 120 countries and regions worldwide. The Qtenboard interactive whiteboard covers 55-110 inch full-size segments, is equipped with Q AI system-level framework and DMS equipment management system, supports MT9679/RK3588 multi-platform chip configuration, and is equipped with a video booth product portfolio, providing a complete scheme from selection to acceptance for educational projects.

When purchasing teaching video booths, the objects and classroom processes should be clearly displayed first, and then the resolution, focusing, pickup, interface and software should be compared. The highest parameter has practical value only when the entire teaching link is compatible and the teacher can use it smoothly.

1. camera capability: not just look at the pixels

Whether the picture is suitable for teaching depends on the details, dynamics and light performance.

The camera ability of the teaching video booth directly determines the display effect. However, the purchaser needs to pay attention to the fact that the camera shooting ability cannot only look at a single parameter such as "how many million pixels" or "how many times zoom", but also depends on the performance of the picture in the real teaching scene-whether the small words on the book can be clearly presented, whether the color of the color chart is accurate, whether the dynamic demonstration is smooth and does not drag, and whether the moving object can focus quickly.

Key parameters

  • Effective pixels and output resolution:Focus on whether 4K output can be achieved in all connection modes, rather than only a single mode support
  • frame rate and dynamic picture performance:The frame rate may vary with the output mode and should be tested in the target connection mode
  • Auto or manual focus:Test focus speed and accuracy when moving objects from near to far
  • optical zoom and digital zoom:Digital zoom will crop the screen, should be measured details rather than just look at the multiple
  • viewfinder range and lens angle:Confirm coverage of common teaching materials and physical dimensions
  • fill light with brightness adjustment:Test the effect on the picture quality and power supply after opening the fill light
  • Picture rotation, flip and exposure control:Whether these functions need to be implemented in dedicated software

Test by Teaching Object

The Purchaser shall require the Supplier to show the following contents in the actual teaching scene instead of only showing the demonstration video prepared by the Manufacturer:

  • Book small print and test paper details, test clarity and readability
  • Transparent sheets, reflective materials or color charts to test for reflection and color reproduction
  • Small experimental equipment to test whether smaller objects can be fully presented
  • Hand operation and dynamic demonstration, test frame rate and dynamic performance
  • Focus performance when moving objects from near to far, test the response speed of auto focus

Purchase Reminder:

4K output does not automatically mean that each connection method can be transmitted in 4K

Digital zoom will crop or enlarge the picture, and the detail effect should be measured.

Camera resolution, output resolution and software actual display effect should be checked separately

The frame rate of different models will vary with the output mode and should be tested under the target connection mode

How Qtenboard supports:The Qtenboard supporting video booth supports 4K output, and the specific resolution and frame rate are subject to the model manual. The Qtenboard interactive whiteboard supports 4K UHD display, which can fully present the details of the booth screen. The purchaser may apply for prototype testing and use real teaching materials to verify the camera effect.

2. pickup: is it necessary for the booth to undertake the radio task

Booth with microphone, does not represent a substitute for classroom audio system

Many instructional video booths have built-in microphones, but "with a microphone" and "microphone for classroom use" are two concepts. The purchaser needs to clarify the use requirements before judging whether the pickup capability of the booth meets the requirements.

First determine the use of demand

  • Only materials are displayed, teachers use independent microphones-booth microphones are not the key
  • The booth supports remote teaching through a built-in microphone-the pickup distance and clarity need to be tested
  • Need to record the explanation and collect the display picture synchronously-need to test the synchronization of sound and picture.
  • The booth is connected to video conference software or recording and broadcasting system-software call compatibility needs to be tested.

Procurement verification items

  • Whether built-in microphone
  • Microphone type and pickup direction
  • Recommended pickup distance and use environment
  • Whether noise reduction function and switch mode are provided
  • Whether there is an external microphone or audio input
  • Can the microphone be called by teaching computer or conference software

Field Test Method

The pickup effect cannot be judged by the parameter table and must be tested on site:

  • Explain the test in the teacher's actual standing position.
  • Simulate background noise such as classroom fans, air conditioners, and student discussions
  • Distinctness and noise evaluation by the far end listener
  • If there is a separate audio system, test the echo and volume balance

The official specifications of some manufacturers' models list the interface between the built-in microphone and USB video device, but the pickup method and software call ability of different models may be different. The purchaser shall look at the specific data sheet and test it on site, and shall not regard a single product parameter as a whole category standard.

How Qtenboard supports:The Qtenboard supporting video booth supports built-in microphones. The specific pickup parameters and software calling methods are subject to the model manual. Qtenboard interactive whiteboards support external microphones and audio inputs for use with classroom audio systems. Q AI supports 166 language real-time translation and 5-second classroom summary generation, which can be used in distance teaching scenarios.

3. connection mode: the interface determines the deployment mode

Draw the signal path first, then determine which wires and accessories to buy

The way the video booth is connected directly affects the deployment plan, wire requirements, and classroom operation flow. The purchaser should make clear how the booth is connected to the interactive whiteboard and teaching computer at the selection stage, instead of waiting for the equipment to arrive before temporary processing.

HDMI connection

Common uses:

  • Output the booth screen directly to an interactive whiteboard, monitor, or projection device
  • Allow teachers to display physical images without first starting the computer, depending on the model

Need to confirm:

  • Whether the booth has HDMI output
  • Whether the whiteboard has corresponding input
  • Resolution, frame rate and cable length requirements
  • Whether the input source needs to be manually switched
  • Screen annotation, saving and control whether you still need to connect to the computer

USB connection

Common uses:

  • The booth as a computer video equipment
  • Use with booth software or teaching or conference applications
  • Some models are powered simultaneously via USB

Need to confirm:

  • Whether UVC/UAC is supported or a dedicated driver is required
  • Operating System and Port of Teaching Computer
  • Whether special software must be installed for full function
  • Whether calling in the target conference, recording and broadcasting or teaching platform is supported.

Wireless connection

If Wi-Fi or wireless display is considered, the following should be verified:

  • Need to install companion apps
  • Whether to rely on the school wireless network
  • Whether the specified operating system is supported
  • Available under customer network isolation and security policy
  • Whether the functions of wireless mode and wired mode are consistent

According to vendor data, some teaching booths support USB UVC/UAC drive-free access, but the full function may still depend on vendor applications. The Purchaser shall verify the "Basic Video Call" and "Full Software Functionality" separately and shall not equate UVC Driverless with full functionality for all software.

How Qtenboard supports:The Qtenboard interactive whiteboard supports HDMI video input and USB touch return. HDMI input can directly display the video booth screen, without teaching computer. USB touch return support whiteboard control teaching computer. Qtenboard provide interface specifications and connection diagrams to support the confirmation of signal paths during the project design phase.

4. power supply: confirm single-wire power supply or independent power supply

Power supply mode will affect equipment placement, wiring and long-term use

The power supply of the video booth is an easy to be ignored but the actual impact of a large procurement factor. USB power supply and independent power adapter have their own applicable scenarios, and the purchaser shall choose according to the actual use mode.

Procurement verification items

  • USB powered or standalone power adapter
  • Power supply interface and voltage and current requirements
  • Influence of LED supplementary light on power supply
  • Whether there is a risk of insufficient USB power supply when connecting the computer
  • Whether additional power cords, adapters, or extension cords are required
  • Whether the cable is suitable for the podium and classroom environment

Procurement value

  • USB-poweredIndividual power cords may be reduced, but the power supply capability of the target computer interface should be confirmed.
  • Independent power supplyThe device can be connected to different display terminals, but the socket and cable need to be planned.
  • Should not only look at "portable" or "plug-in-free" publicity, should be tested according to the planned connection method

Different models from different manufacturers have different power supply methods-some models use USB power supply, and some models are equipped with independent power adapters. The difference indicates that the power supply scheme shall be subject to the specific model data sheet, and the purchaser shall confirm the actual use mode.

How Qtenboard supports:The power supply mode of Qtenboard supporting video booth shall be subject to the specific model manual. The Qtenboard interactive whiteboard supports standard power input and USB power output, which can provide stable power supply for external devices. Specific power supply parameters need to be verified during the project confirmation phase.

5. Software Compatibility: Testing the Platform Teachers Really Use

"Computer compatibility" does not mean that it is compatible with all teaching and distance software.

The compatibility of video booth and teaching software is the most problematic link in procurement. The device can be identified as a video device, which does not mean that all teaching applications can be called; the ability to open the screen does not mean that all functions can be used. Purchasers need to distinguish between "base video call" and "full software functionality".

Verification Operating System

  • Windows version and permission requirements
  • macOS version and application support
  • ChromeOS or other terminal compatibility
  • Driver, application, and firmware update methods
  • Whether the teaching computer allows the installation of third-party software

Verification Application

  • Booth-specific software
  • Online teaching or video conferencing software
  • Recording and screen recording software
  • The school's existing teaching platform
  • Whether screen capture, annotation, recording and sharing are supported

Distinguish between basic and complete functionality

It is recommended that the supplier explain separately:

  • Can I get video directly after inserting the device
  • Do you need dedicated software to use functions such as rotation, image freeze, screenshots or measurements
  • Whether the relevant software is paid and whether an account is required
  • Whether Version Update Affects Existing Classroom Configuration

Vendor's quick guides usually distinguish UVC camera access from the full functionality provided by their own software, and can be used as an example of how "recognizing video devices" does not mean "full functionality. The Purchaser shall verify one by one at the prototype stage using the software actually used by the instructor.

How Qtenboard supports:Qtenboard interactive whiteboard support Windows OPS, based on MT9679 or RK3588 platform, can run the mainstream teaching software and conference platform. Q AI supports handwriting recognition, OCR and graphic recognition, 166 language real-time translation, and 5-second class summary generation. Qtenboard support prototype testing and verify compatibility with customer-real software.

Common collocation of 6. and interactive whiteboards and instructional computers

Before purchasing, decide whether to connect "directly to the whiteboard" or "computer transit"

Scheme A: Booth Directly Connected Interactive Whiteboard

9. Frequently Asked Questions

Does the teaching video booth have to be connected to a computer?

Not necessarily. If you only need to show the physical picture, the booth can be directly connected to the Qtenboard interactive whiteboard via HDMI, without teaching a computer. However, if you need to use booth software, record, take screenshots or insert pictures into courseware, you need to connect to the teaching computer.

What is the difference between HDMI and USB connections?

HDMI is usually used for video signal transmission, sending the booth screen directly to the whiteboard or monitor. USB can be used for video transmission (USB video devices), control signals, touch return, or device power. The two have different purposes and may need to be used at the same time in the project. Qtenboard interactive whiteboard supports HDMI input and USB touch return.

Will the 4K video booth be able to output 4K on a 4K whiteboard?

Not necessarily. 4K output requires that the booth, cable, whiteboard input interface and display panel all support 4K, and the frame rate may vary with the output mode. It is recommended to test the actual output resolution in the target connection mode.

Can the built-in microphone replace the teacher's microphone?

Depends on the use scenario. If you just simply record the explanation, the built-in microphone may be enough. However, if you need to pick up sound in a larger classroom or work with a classroom audio system, it is recommended to use a separate microphone. Qtenboard interactive whiteboards support external microphones and audio input.

Does UVC drive-free mean that all software can use full functionality?

Not necessarily. UVC Drive-free means that the device can be recognized as a video device, but full functionality (e. g. rotation, image freeze, screenshot, measurement) may require dedicated software. The Purchaser shall verify the "Basic Video Call" and "Full Software Functionality" separately ".

Is USB powered enough to support fill lights?

Needs to be confirmed. The power supply demand may be increased after the LED supplementary light is turned on, and the power supply capacity of the USB interface may be insufficient when the power supply capacity is limited. It is recommended to test the lighting effect and power supply stability under the planned connection mode.

How to verify that the booth is compatible with the school's existing whiteboard before purchasing?

It is recommended to use actual devices for testing during the prototype phase. Confirm whether the booth output interface matches the Qtenboard whiteboard input interface, whether the resolution is compatible, whether additional connection is required for touch return, and whether the software call is normal.

What additional tests are required for video booth access to recording and broadcasting classrooms?

It is necessary to test how the booth screen, teacher voice and courseware screen enter the same recording or remote classroom platform. Confirm audio and video synchronization, software compatibility, network bandwidth, and platform call methods. The Qtenboard supports external cameras and microphones, and the Q AI supports real-time translation in 166 languages.

What video booth interfaces does the Qtenboard interactive whiteboard support?

The Qtenboard interactive whiteboard supports HDMI video input and USB touch return. The specific supported interface version, resolution range and software compatibility are subject to the model manual. Support project design Qtenboard providing interface specifications and connection diagrams.

MT9679 and RK3588 chip platform in the teaching scene how to choose?

The MT9679 is ideal for standard educational classrooms, supporting 4K at 120Hz and featuring an AI-PQ/AI-SR image‑quality engine, with stable operation under commercial workloads for 8–10 hours. The RK3588 is suitable for high-end education and 8K video display, equipped with a 6 TOPS NPU, offering stronger AI processing capabilities. Before making a purchase, it is recommended to conduct sample testing based on the intended use case and budget.

Conclusion: Starting from the teaching task, not from the parameters

The key to purchasing teaching video booths is not to pursue the highest parameters, but to ensure that the equipment can complete the real teaching tasks. The camera capability depends on the details and dynamic performance, the sound pickup depends on the actual effect in the classroom environment, the connection mode should match the signal path, the power supply mode should be suitable for the deployment conditions, and the software compatibility should be verified by the software actually used by the teacher.
