Lenovo ThinkSmart IP Controller – 10.1" Conference Room Touch Panel

Product Overview

The Lenovo ThinkSmart IP Controller (12SQ0000US) is a 10.1" conference room IP controller built to launch, join, and manage video meetings from the tabletop or wall. It connects to the room compute over a single Cat cable that carries both data and power, so this video conferencing room controller installs cleanly with no separate power supply or HDMI extender at the touch panel. Purpose-built for Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms deployments, it delivers one-touch join, content sharing, and call control on a bright capacitive display. A Gigabit Ethernet link and up to 328' of reach make it a dependable centerpiece for commercial meeting spaces.

Product Description

The ThinkSmart IP Controller is the in-room interface for a modern Lenovo ThinkSmart video conferencing room controller system. Its 10.1" 1280 x 800 display uses 10-point capacitive multi-touch, giving users a responsive, tablet-like surface for starting scheduled meetings, dialing participants, sharing content, and adjusting camera and audio without a keyboard or mouse.

Deployment is simplified by the included Linkbox. A single Category cable runs from the Linkbox to the touch panel and supplies both power and data, which removes the need for a local power outlet or signal extender at the table. This single-cable conference room controller design lets integrators place the panel where presenters actually need it while keeping the compute and connections consolidated at the Linkbox.

Connectivity includes one HDMI input, an RJ45 network port with Gigabit Ethernet, a USB-B (USB 3.0) host connection, and a USB-C (USB 2.0) port. The integrated USB host lets you attach a speaker/mic directly to the panel without additional cables or extenders, keeping table cabling minimal. Because the controller supports working distances up to 328' (100 m), it adapts to boardrooms and larger rooms where the compute and network drop are located away from the presentation position.

As a commercial-grade Microsoft Teams Rooms controller and Zoom Rooms touch controller, the unit is designed for consistent daily use and straightforward IT management, backed by a 3-year limited manufacturer warranty. Pair it with a room compute, camera, and audio from our Video Conferencing Systems and Audio Conferencing collections to complete a standardized meeting room, or explore our Interactive & Collaboration Displays for larger front-of-room touch experiences.
