The right size matters more than you think
A display that's too small at the back of the room makes content unreadable and kills engagement. A display that's too large overwhelms a small room and creates fatigue. This guide walks through the four Volanti sizes Omnixon Global stocks — 65, 75, 86 and 98 inches — and the rooms each one fits.
Viewing-distance maths
The accepted rule of thumb for 4K displays: furthest viewer distance ≤ display diagonal × 1.5. So a 75-inch display reads comfortably up to about 9.3 feet (2.8 m); a 98-inch reads to about 12 feet (3.7 m).
| Display | Max readable distance | Room capacity (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| 65" | ~2.5 m (8 ft) | 4-8 person huddle / small meeting room |
| 75" | ~2.85 m (9.3 ft) | 8-14 person boardroom / training room |
| 86" | ~3.3 m (10.8 ft) | 15-30 person classroom / executive boardroom |
| 98" | ~3.75 m (12.3 ft) | 30+ auditorium / expo / command centre |
Which Volanti for which room
Meeting rooms + huddle spaces — 65-inch
Quiet huddle rooms, 4-8 person team standups, training rooms, executive offices. 65" hits the sweet spot for collaboration without dominating the wall. Mount on a height-adjustable trolley if you want flexibility across multiple rooms.
Boardrooms + active-learning classrooms — 75-inch
The flagship sweet spot. 75" fits a typical UAE boardroom (16-24 m²) and an active-learning classroom of 8-14 people. Specify active-pen support if you want collaborative whiteboarding from the centre of the room.
Executive boardrooms + larger classrooms — 86-inch
Premium boardrooms (20-35 m²) and 15-30 person classrooms. 86" reads comfortably from the back of a large room without forcing people to lean forward.
Auditoriums + command centres + expo halls — 98-inch
Auditorium-class. A single 98" panel replaces a video-wall array for many use-cases (cleaner install, no bezel seams, easier service). Custom wall-mount engineering is available for unusual sites.
Three setup decisions you need to make
1. OPS module — yes or no?
The Intel OPS slot is standard on every Volanti display. Pros of dropping in an OPS PC: one-cable install, no separate compute box, Windows or Linux in the wall. Cons: you commit to a generation of OPS hardware (refresh ~3-4 years vs the 7+ year display life). Recommendation: use OPS for content + signage + simple collaboration; use external PC for compute-heavy workloads (video editing, BIM, design review).
2. Wireless casting strategy
Built-in AirPlay, Miracast, ChromeCast, and Volanti Connect cover iOS / macOS / Android / Windows / ChromeOS. No external casting dongle needed. For BYOD-heavy environments, train your users on Connect — it's the most reliable across all device classes.
3. Audio + room acoustics
Each Volanti display ships with 2 × 15W or 2 × 20W front-firing speakers (depending on size). For rooms ≥ 40 m², plan a separate ceiling speaker system. Most boardroom AV integrators (Crestron, Extron, Q-SYS) will spec a Dante or AVB audio fabric — Volanti runs over HDMI ARC for audio return without extra wiring.
Procurement checklist
- Mount height: centre of screen ~145-155 cm from floor (universal sit-stand average)
- Power: single 220 V outlet within 1 m of the mount location
- Network: dedicated Cat6 run to the display + a second to the OPS bay if installed
- HDMI / DisplayPort runs: if you have a confidence-monitor at a podium, plan the HDMI run during construction (don't retrofit)
- Glare: avoid back-windows behind the display; use anti-glare blinds if unavoidable
FAQ
Can I cast from my iPhone, MacBook, Android, Windows AND ChromeOS to the same Volanti?
Yes. AirPlay (Apple), Miracast (Windows/Android), ChromeCast (ChromeOS/Android), and the Volanti Connect app are all built in. Train your team on Connect as the consistent option for BYOD environments — it handles all device classes uniformly.
Do I need to buy a separate PC, or is OPS built in?
The Intel OPS slot is included but the OPS compute module is sold separately (BYO module or specify with the quote). Drop in a standards-compliant OPS PC and the display becomes a turnkey appliance.
What's the support?
3 years on-site commercial support with Dubai-based service coordination. Extendable.
Can the 98" Volanti replace a video wall?
For most boardroom, auditorium, and command-centre use-cases — yes. A single 98" panel gives you a seamless 4K UHD canvas without bezel seams, simpler install, and easier service. For very large expo / digital-signage walls, video-wall arrays are still the way to go.
How quickly can you deliver into Saudi Arabia or Qatar?
Project quotes are returned within 48H. Stock items dispatch same-day from Dubai; project-quantity rollouts (10+ units) typically deliver within 1-2 weeks including customs clearance.
