Detailed specifications and benefits
The C8630 pairs large-format display hardware with conferencing and collaboration electronics to deliver a comprehensive meeting-room experience. Below are the most relevant specifications and the practical advantages they deliver.
- Diagonal: 86" — large enough to serve medium to large rooms without forcing viewers to crowd around a small screen.
- Resolution: 3840 × 2160 (4K UHD) with a 60 Hz refresh rate — delivers sharp text, detailed charts and video content suitable for high-resolution presentations and design review.
- Panel tech & contrast: VA/IPS hybrid characteristics with direct-lit LED backlight and approximately 4000:1 contrast — good black levels and wide viewing angles (178°/178°), ensuring content remains readable from across the room.
- Brightness: 350 cd/m² (typical) — sufficient for many meeting-room lighting conditions while the anti-glare glass reduces reflections and improves visibility.
- IR multi-touch (up to 20 touch points) and ±1 mm pen accuracy — supports simultaneous multi-user interaction, collaborative annotation and handwriting recognition.
- 3 mm zero-parallax anti-glare antibacterial glass — minimizes the gap between touch and display for natural writing feel and helps maintain hygiene in shared spaces.
- Single 48 MP camera with auto framing and speaker tracking — higher resolution camera enables clearer remote views of presenters and better cropping/zooming for hybrid meetings without needing an external camera.
- 8-element far-field beamforming microphone array (pickup ≈ 8 m) — captures voices from across the room for all participants to be heard clearly over the network.
- 2.1-channel audio (2×10W + 20W) — delivers adequate sound for speech and multimedia playback within typical meeting-room volumes.
- Multiple inputs: HDMI, USB 2.0/3.0, USB-C (video/USB/PD) and RS232 — flexible connectivity for laptops, media players and control systems.
- OPS slot (supports 3840×2160@60fps) and optional MAXHUB PC module — integrates PC performance without external boxes and keeps cabling tidy.
- Wireless screen sharing and optional Wi‑Fi module — supports BYOD workflows and quick presentation setups without fiddling with cables.
- Power: AC100–240V 50/60Hz with typical max power ≈400 W and standby ≤0.5 W.
- Robust build: dimensions of 1957.1 × 1160.1 × 100.2 mm and a net weight of ≈59.75 kg with VESA 800 × 600 mm mounting — suited to wall-mounted or fixed-room installations by a qualified AV installer.
- Smart features: integrated whiteboard, OCR, multi-device sharing and compatibility with MAXHUB PC modules improve workflow efficiency in meetings and classrooms.
Use cases and scenarios where the C8630 excels
The MAXHUB C8630 is designed for environments that require a combination of large-format presentation, multi-user interaction and simplified video conferencing. Typical use cases include:
In boardrooms and executive meeting spaces, the 86" 4K screen serves high-resolution slide decks, spreadsheets and video content to a group at once. The integrated 48 MP camera and 8-mic array reduce the need for external gear, simplifying setup for remote participants. Speaker tracking keeps the remote audience focused on whoever is speaking.
For instructors and trainers, multi-touch annotation, smart whiteboard features and OCR make it easy to capture notes and distribute content. The large display ensures visibility for students or trainees at the back of the room, while the built-in audio and mic array support Q&A and group interaction.
When teams mix in-room and remote participants, the C8630 enables hybrid collaboration with wireless screen sharing and BYOD compatibility. Multiple users can interact simultaneously, making brainstorming sessions and design reviews more natural.
How it compares to similar products on the market
Large interactive displays come in several flavors — corporate-focused systems, education-optimized panels and high-end collaboration platforms. Here’s how the MAXHUB C8630 typically stacks up against common alternatives:
- Microsoft Surface Hub series: Surface Hub devices integrate deeply with Microsoft 365 and Teams and offer a polished software experience for some enterprises. However, Surface Hub models tend to be more expensive and are often purchased with Microsoft service commitments. The MAXHUB C8630 competes strongly on price-to-hardware value, particularly for organizations that want a high-quality camera and audio package without committing to a particular cloud service.
- Samsung Flip / Samsung interactive displays: Samsung’s Flip series focuses on pen-first whiteboard workflows with good display quality. The C8630, by comparison, emphasizes a full conferencing suite (48 MP camera, 8-mic array, OPS compatibility) and larger screen size options for bigger rooms, making it a better fit where built-in video conferencing hardware is a priority.
- Google Jamboard: Jamboard targets lightweight whiteboarding and cloud-centric collaboration, with a smaller display and fewer conferencing features. The MAXHUB C8630 offers a much larger canvas, native 4K resolution and stronger audio/video hardware for full hybrid meetings.
- BenQ / Clevertouch / ViewSonic education panels: These competitors provide strong education features such as low-latency touch and classroom software. MAXHUB competes by combining education-friendly touch performance with enterprise-grade conferencing (high-res camera and beamforming mics), making it versatile across both markets.
Customer feedback and reviews
Where customers have deployed the MAXHUB C8630, feedback tends to center on the convenience of an all-in-one system and the clarity of remote meetings. Typical praise includes improved meeting efficiency due to the integrated camera and microphone array and the natural feel of the multi-touch whiteboard during collaborative sessions. IT teams often note that the OPS slot and USB-C inputs simplify device compatibility and reduce cable clutter.
Representative comments from users (paraphrased):
- "Replacing our separate camera, mic and screen with the MAXHUB panel simplified installs and gave us noticeably cleaner video calls."
- "The 48 MP camera and speaker-tracking work really well in hybrid sessions; remote attendees can clearly see the presenter even when they move around."
- "Teachers appreciate the responsive touch and the anti-glare surface — writing feels natural and is easy to read from the back of the room."
Conclusion: Why choose the MAXHUB C8630?
The MAXHUB C8630 86" V6 Classic is a compelling choice for organizations that want a single device to handle presentation, collaboration and video conferencing without a complicated stack of peripherals. Its 4K panel, high-resolution camera, far-field microphones and multi-touch whiteboard combine to support diverse workflows — from executive briefings to classroom instruction and hybrid team workshops. With flexible connectivity (USB-C, HDMI, OPS slot), wireless sharing and smart collaboration features, it fits into modern BYOD environments and simplifies day-to-day meeting operations.
For purchasers weighing total value, the C8630 strikes a balance between advanced hardware (notably the 48 MP camera and 8-mic array) and a price point that undercuts many fully managed collaboration platforms. If you need a large-format, turnkey interactive display that minimizes additional equipment while maximizing meeting quality, the MAXHUB C8630 is worth strong consideration.
