Cisco Room Bar Pro CS-BARPRO-K9-- – Customized Model, First Light

Product Overview

Cisco uses -- to mark a customized model, and CS-BARPRO-K9-- is the Room Bar Pro ordered under that designation in First Light. Because Cisco publishes no description of what a given customization contains, the base datasheet is the starting point rather than the specification, and the shipping build should be confirmed against your Cisco quote. What is documented is a medium-room video bar with dual 48 MP cameras, a 16-element beamforming microphone array, three HDMI outputs and AES67 audio-over-IP expansion, with a Room Navigator for Table listed in the box.

Product Description

The organisations that order customized part numbers are usually extending a deployment rather than starting one, and consistency is the point. A functionally equivalent standard SKU can still fail an asset register, a software baseline or an internal build standard, so the correct sequence is to confirm the configuration first and only then decide whether the standard catalogue part is an acceptable substitute.

The documented baseline gives an integrator enough to design the room. Three HDMI outputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps with CEC 2.0 support up to three screens for video and content, and are touchscreen compatible when combined with the USB-A inputs for touch signalling. One HDMI input and one USB-C input each accept up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps, so two content sources can be wired in.

Power and cabling are simpler than on the smaller Room Bar. The Room Bar Pro has a built-in power supply at 100 to 240 VAC using a country-specific cord, with no external brick, and ships with a 5 m Ethernet cable for the network, an 8 m Ethernet cable for the Room Navigator and one 1.5 m HDMI cable — order HDMI cables for the second and third screens separately from cables and adapters.

Standard part numbers and comparable endpoints are listed in video bars and medium room solutions, and Creation Networks can price the standard equivalent alongside the customized build.

Key Features

• Customized model designator — Cisco marks special-configuration orders with --, so this part number is matched to an existing configured deployment rather than substituted for the standard SKU.
• Three-screen support — Three HDMI outputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps drive three displays for video and content, covering a dual-display room plus a content or signage screen without an external codec.
• Dual 48 MP camera system — A 112 degree wide-angle lens and a 70 degree tele-lens, both on 48 MP sensors with motorized tilt between -2 and 20 degrees, cover the room and then frame the speaker without cropping quality away.
• 16-element beamforming microphone array — The array covers 120 Hz to 16 kHz and is optimised for small to medium rooms with people seated within four metres, with speaker tracking recommended to six metres.
• Three-channel loudspeaker system — Three full-range drivers with a mechanically balanced dual woofer section deliver 70 Hz to 22 kHz at up to 97 dB maximum sound pressure level with directional audio.
• AES67 audio-over-IP expansion — Two dedicated 802.3af PoE ports with a 15.4 W budget each carry audio over IP for up to eight Cisco IP microphones or eight third-party AES67 digital microphones over structured cabling.
• Built-in power supply — An internal power supply removes the external brick, simplifying installation, reducing packaging and easing cable management behind the display.
• Invertible mounting with gap bar — The consolidated mounting unit fits walls and displays above or underneath the screens, and the bar can be inverted with the speaker grille de-attached and flipped to match.
• Dual-platform registration — The same hardware runs native RoomOS for Webex with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet interoperability, or the native Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android application.

Typical Applications

• Conference room — Cisco positions the Room Bar Pro for medium-sized meeting spaces, with a microphone array optimised for people seated within four metres of the device.
• Training room — Three HDMI outputs and presenter tracking with the Cisco PTZ 4K Camera cover a presenter, the material and remote participants at the same time.
• Multi-purpose room — Meeting Zone framing perimeters and up to three screens let one room switch between meeting, briefing and presentation use without reconfiguration.
• Commercial meeting space — Managed offices and client-facing suites get a single-box medium-room endpoint managed centrally in Control Hub with occupancy and environment reporting.
• Boardroom — Dual cameras with AI virtual lens reach and a three-channel loudspeaker system at up to 97 dB suit a longer table where participants sit well back from the display.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the -- suffix indicate?

Cisco uses -- to mark a customized model, meaning a special-configuration order rather than the standard catalogue build. Cisco does not publish what a given customization contains, so confirm the exact configuration against your Cisco quote before ordering.

Does a Room Navigator ship with this SKU?

Cisco's Room Bar Pro documentation lists a Cisco Room Navigator for Table in First Light as part of the box contents, and publishes no standalone or Navigator-bundle variants for this product. Because part-number designators can differ from the base build, confirm on your quote whether a Navigator is included before pricing a control surface separately.

What is different about a customized model?

Cisco does not publish the content of a customization in the Room Bar Pro datasheet. The documented baseline for the product applies, but the specific variation attached to this part number must be confirmed against your Cisco quote or the original order it was created for.

How many displays can it drive?

Three. Cisco publishes 3x HDMI outputs supporting formats up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps with CEC 2.0, touchscreen compatible when used with the USB-A inputs for touch signalling. Only one 1.5 m HDMI cable ships in the box, so order cables for the second and third screens separately.

What ships in the box?

Cisco lists the Room Bar Pro unit, the mounting kit for screen and wall, a 5 m Ethernet cable for the network, a 1.5 m HDMI cable for one display, a Cisco Room Navigator for Table in First Light, an 8 m Ethernet cable for the Room Navigator, and a country-specific power cord.

What call-control platforms does it register to?

Native RoomOS for Webex managed in Control Hub with interoperability for Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet; the native Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android application; or on-premises registration to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later with the Room Bar Pro device pack, to Expressway, or to third-party H.323 gatekeepers and standards-based SIP proxies.

How is the Room Bar Pro powered?

From a built-in power supply at 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz using a country-specific power cord. There is no external brick and no PoE input. Cisco publishes an average draw of 20 W, 12.7 W networked standby and 1 W standby.

What warranty applies?

Cisco publishes a 1-year limited liability warranty for the Room Bar Pro. Warranty is handled per Cisco's standard terms for this product class — contact Creation Networks to confirm coverage for your order.
