Dahua DeepHub Interactive Whiteboards: Smart Classrooms and Meeting Rooms

DeepHub is Dahua's range of smart interactive whiteboards (interactive flat panels) for classrooms and meeting rooms. Since launching in 2021, the range has added Lite and Pro series, Android 14, Wi-Fi 6 and a 48MP camera with an 8-microphone array, along with education software and a classroom camera for lesson recording and attendance. Here's how DeepHub has developed, what it does and how to choose an interactive display.

What is an interactive flat panel?

An interactive flat panel is a large 4K touchscreen that replaces the projector and whiteboard. Teachers and presenters write on it, share screens wirelessly from laptops and phones, run video calls and save or send the session afterwards.

How DeepHub has developed

2021: the first DeepHub

• 4K display with zero air gap bonding and anti-glare coating, so the pen tip and the line meet.
• Wireless 4K casting from up to 9 devices, whatever their operating system.
• Writing latency under 35ms and 20 touch points.
• Camera models with a 4K camera (104° view) and microphones covering 8m for video calls.
• An optional Windows PC module and a fingerprint lock.

2022: DeepHub Pro

• AI handwriting and shape recognition, gesture control and automatic speaker framing.
• A single USB-C cable for video, audio, touch and charging.
• AirPlay, Chromecast and Miracast casting, and switching between Android and Windows.

2023: Smart classroom

• Lite (ST420) and Pro (ST470) series in 65", 75" and 86".
• Software: DeepHub Class (teaching tools), Canvas (recognition and search), Board (collaborative sticky notes and voting) and MDM (central device management).

2024: Intelligent education

• ST420-S3: NFC sign-in, Wi-Fi 6, Android 14, 65W USB-C charging, handwriting and formula recognition.
• ST473: a 48MP camera and an 8-microphone array with voice tracking.
• A classroom PTZ camera for lesson recording, exam proctoring and attendance, and DSS Pro EDU for attendance reporting linked to school systems.

Dahua also launched a foldable all-in-one LED display (the UH series) in 2024 for meeting rooms and home cinemas.

How to choose an interactive display

• Size: 65" for small rooms, 75" for classrooms, 86" for large rooms or the back row.
• Camera and microphones if you'll run hybrid lessons or video meetings.
• Operating system: Android built in, with an optional Windows module if you need desktop software.
• Device management if IT looks after many screens.

Our take

Interactive panels have matured from a "smart whiteboard" into a full hybrid-teaching and meeting hub. The features that make the biggest day-to-day difference are reliable wireless casting, a decent camera and microphones, and central management, more than raw screen specs.
