Cisco Room Kit EQ CS-KIT-EQ-4K-NRK9 – PTZ 4K Camera, No-Radio

Product Overview

Room depth is what sends a designer to this bundle. CS-KIT-EQ-4K-NRK9 pairs the Cisco Codec EQ with the Cisco PTZ 4K Camera, whose 20x optical zoom and 240x total range reach further down a long room than a fixed multi-lens bar can, and it does so with no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radio fitted. That combination suits deep training rooms, lecture theatres and auditoriums inside secure or RF-restricted facilities. The codec drives three HDMI outputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps and carries four 802.3bt PoE++ ports sharing a 90W budget. Room Kit EQ is a current Cisco product with no end-of-sale notice.

Product Description

The PTZ 4K camera is the reason to choose this part number over a Quad Camera bundle. It delivers 1920 x 1080 at 60 fps or 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps, pans +/- 170 degrees, tilts from -20 to +90 degrees, and presents a 70-degree horizontal field of view with focus from 1.0 m to infinity at F2.0 to 3.8. Control is Visca over IP on the LAN port with video carried over HDMI 2.0, and the camera supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) as well as a 12V/3A supply. PresenterTrack with digital cropping follows a presenter inside a defined zone, which is the behaviour instructional rooms usually need.

Because there is no radio, the room is cabled throughout. Cisco lists Miracast as unavailable on non-radio versions, so presentation runs over the three HDMI inputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps, the USB-C input at up to 4K30, or USB-C passthrough that hands a laptop the room camera, microphone and speakers on one cable. All four PoE++ Ethernet ports remain available for camera control, the Room Navigator and AV-over-IP peripherals.

One point to plan for: Cisco publishes a loudspeaker specification only for the Quad Camera. The PTZ 4K camera section carries no loudspeaker figures, so room audio output on this bundle must be designed through the codec's three HDMI audio outputs, the analog line out, the USB paths or audio over IP on the PoE++ ports into an installed conference audio system. Voice pickup uses up to eight Cisco IP microphones or analog table and ceiling microphones.

The bundle ships as Cisco Codec EQ, the camera specified in the bundle, a region-specific power cord and a selection of one Cisco Room Navigator touch controller in table-stand or wall-mount form. Cisco publishes 18W in an active meeting, 18W idle and 15W in display-off standby for the Room Kit EQ bundle, and requires RoomOS 11.1.2 or later. Cisco publishes no seat count or square-footage figure for Room Kit EQ, naming only room types - large conference rooms, boardrooms, training rooms and auditoriums - so size the room from sightlines and microphone coverage rather than from a published capacity number. For adjacent room sizes and complete builds, see large room solutions and meeting room bundles.

Key Features

• PTZ 4K camera with 20x optical zoom — The 240x total zoom range, +/- 170 degree pan and -20 to +90 degree tilt give the framing reach that fixed camera bars cannot provide in a deep room.
• No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radio — Cisco states Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not available in non-radio versions, so the system meets facility policies that bar unmanaged wireless emitters.
• PresenterTrack with digital cropping — The PTZ 4K camera follows an active presenter inside a defined zone using AI-powered head detection, which suits training rooms and lecture capture.
• Visca over IP camera control — Camera control runs over the LAN port with video on HDMI 2.0, so the camera can be positioned away from the codec on structured cabling.
• Three 4K60 display outputs — Three HDMI outputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps drive dual-display video plus a dedicated content screen from one system.
• 90W PoE++ across four ports — The four 802.3bt ports power camera control, the Room Navigator and AV-over-IP peripherals, which reduces the number of local power outlets required.
• Up to eight Cisco IP microphones — Audio over IP on the PoE++ ports supports up to eight Cisco IP microphones for long-room voice pickup.
• PoE+ camera power option — The PTZ 4K camera accepts PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) as well as a 12V/3A supply, which removes a power drop at the camera position.

Typical Applications

• Auditorium — 20x optical zoom and a +/- 170 degree pan range cover a raked or deep space that a fixed camera bar cannot frame.
• Training room — PresenterTrack with digital cropping follows an instructor inside a defined zone.
• Government space — a system with no wireless radio meets facility rules barring unmanaged RF emitters.
• Large conference room — three 4K60 display outputs and up to eight IP microphones cover a long boardroom table.
• All-hands room — Visca over IP control lets the camera sit far from the rack on structured cabling.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the PTZ 4K camera option?

The PTZ 4K Camera provides 20x optical zoom within a 240x total range, +/- 170 degree pan, -20 to +90 degree tilt and a 70-degree horizontal field of view, so it frames participants further from the display than a fixed multi-lens bar. It also supports PresenterTrack using digital cropping.

What is removed on the non-radio version?

Cisco states Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not available in non-radio versions, and lists Miracast as unavailable on the non-radio version. Wired connectivity, PoE++ peripheral support and all HDMI and USB-C paths are unchanged.

What call control platforms does Room Kit EQ register to?

Cisco lists native registration on Cisco Unified Communications Manager v12.5 or later, native registration with Cisco Expressway, Webex, and third-party H.323 gatekeepers and standards-based SIP proxies. The system also runs Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android, with native Webex meetings available when registered in Control Hub.

How many displays does the system drive?

Three HDMI outputs, each supporting formats up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps, with CEC 2.0. An interactive touch screen connects using an HDMI output plus USB-A.

How many microphones can be added?

The codec connects to up to eight Cisco IP microphones over the four PoE++ Ethernet ports, and also accepts three analog mini-jack inputs, three HDMI embedded inputs, one USB-C and one USB-A audio input.

Does the kit power its own peripherals?

Four PoE++ (802.3bt) 10/100/1000 ports share a total power budget of up to 90W, which Cisco allocates to camera control, the Room Navigator touch controller and AV-over-IP room peripherals.

What size room is Room Kit EQ intended for?

Cisco names large conference rooms, boardrooms, training rooms and auditoriums but publishes no seat count or square-footage figure for Room Kit EQ, so room sizing should be driven by camera framing distance and microphone coverage rather than a capacity number.
