Cisco Room Kit EQ CS-KIT-EQ-4KNRK9++ – PTZ 4K, No-Radio, TAA

Product Overview

Federal auditoriums and agency training rooms carry three requirements at once: TAA procurement, no wireless radio and enough optical reach to frame a presenter from the back of the space. CS-KIT-EQ-4KNRK9++ answers all three. It is the Cisco Room Kit EQ in a TAA-compliant, non-radio configuration with the Cisco PTZ 4K Camera, whose 20x optical zoom inside a 240x total range and +/- 170 degree pan cover a deep room. The Codec EQ 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.

Product Description

Ordering these attributes separately is how federal AV projects slip. A TAA line, a non-radio line and a camera line each carry their own lead time, and a substitution on any one of them can invalidate the room's approval. This single part number fixes all three, which is why it appears on agency standards documents for instructional and briefing spaces.

The PTZ 4K camera specification is what makes the room work at distance: 1920 x 1080 at 60 fps or 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps output, 20x optical and 12x digital zoom, +/- 170 degree pan, -20 to +90 degree tilt, a 70-degree horizontal field of view, focus from 1.0 m to infinity at F2.0 to 3.8, Visca over IP control on the LAN port and video over HDMI 2.0. PresenterTrack with digital cropping follows a presenter within a defined zone using AI-powered head detection.

With no radio fitted, presentation and control are wired end to end. Three HDMI inputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps, a USB-C input at up to 4K30 and USB-C passthrough cover content; four PoE++ Ethernet ports carry camera control, the Room Navigator, AV-over-IP peripherals and up to three 1080p60 video-over-IP streams. Cisco publishes loudspeaker figures only for the Quad Camera, so room audio output is designed through the codec into installed reinforcement, with pickup from up to eight Cisco IP microphones or analog 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. RoomOS 11.1.2 or later is required, and registration covers Webex, Cisco Unified CM 12.5 or later, Cisco Expressway, third-party H.323 and SIP call control, and Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android. 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.

Key Features

• TAA and no-radio in one bundle — The part number carries both the TAA classification and the non-radio build, so a federal secure room is procured on a single line rather than three.
• PTZ 4K camera with 20x optical zoom — A 240x total zoom range with +/- 170 degree pan and -20 to +90 degree tilt frames a presenter from the back of a deep agency room.
• PresenterTrack with digital cropping — AI-powered head detection follows an active presenter inside a defined zone, which is what instructional and briefing spaces require.
• No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radio — Cisco states Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not available in non-radio versions, meeting facility policies that bar unmanaged RF emitters.
• Visca over IP camera control — Control runs over the LAN port with video on HDMI 2.0, so the camera can sit far from the rack on structured cabling.
• Three 4K60 display outputs — Three HDMI outputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps support dual-display video plus a dedicated content screen.
• 90W PoE++ across four ports — Camera control, the Room Navigator and AV-over-IP peripherals draw power from the codec, reducing local outlets in a fitted-out space.
• Up to eight Cisco IP microphones — Audio over IP on the PoE++ ports supports up to eight Cisco IP microphones for large-room voice pickup.

Typical Applications

• Government space — the TAA classification and non-radio build together satisfy federal procurement and facility RF rules.
• Auditorium — 20x optical zoom frames a speaker from the back of a deep agency space.
• Training room — PresenterTrack follows an instructor within a defined zone for lecture capture and instruction.
• All-hands room — motorised pan and tilt cover a stage and an audience from one camera position.
• Large conference room — three 4K60 outputs and up to eight IP microphones serve a substantial briefing room.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this part number cover both TAA and no-radio requirements?

Yes. The distributor description lists this part as Cisco Room Kit EQ, No-Radio, TAA, PTZ4K Cam, so the ++ suffix carries the TAA classification and the NR designation confirms that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not fitted.

Why the PTZ 4K camera rather than the Quad Camera?

The PTZ 4K Camera provides 20x optical zoom within a 240x total range, +/- 170 degree pan and -20 to +90 degree tilt, which reaches further into a deep room than the Quad Camera's fixed four-sensor design with a 83-degree wide field of view and 7x zoom.

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.

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.
