Cisco Room Kit EQ CS-KIT-EQ-NR-K9-- – No-Radio Quad Camera Kit

Product Overview

Secure sites that still want a discreet front-of-room bar rather than a motorised camera order CS-KIT-EQ-NR-K9--: the Cisco Room Kit EQ with a First Light Quad Camera, supplied as a no-radio customized model. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are absent, so the system satisfies an RF policy, while the Quad Camera keeps its four CMOS sensors, machine-intelligent lens switching, integrated loudspeaker system and eight-element speaker-tracking array. 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.

Product Description

Non-radio room systems are usually specified once and then rolled out unchanged, which is why they are frequently ordered as customized models. The design consequence is that every presentation path must be wired: Cisco lists Miracast as unavailable on non-radio versions, so content arrives on the three HDMI inputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps, on the USB-C input at up to 4K30, or through USB-C passthrough that gives a laptop the room camera, microphone and speakers on one cable.

The camera and audio capability is unaffected by the missing radio. Four CMOS sensors of up to 20 MP each cover an 83-degree wide field of view and three 50-degree tele-lenses with 7x zoom and 5056 x 3888 pixel resolution, focusing automatically from 1 m to infinity. The bar's loudspeaker system provides 100 Hz to 20 kHz response at up to 90 dB SPL with an RCA subwoofer output, and the eight-element array drives speaker tracking for participants within less than nine meters.

Voice pickup for the far end is still a separate design decision. Up to eight Cisco IP microphones connect over the PoE++ Ethernet ports, or three analog mini-jack inputs take conventional table and ceiling microphones. Where the room is longer than nine meters, Extended Speaker view adds a Cisco pan-tilt-zoom camera and IP microphones, and Cross-view adds two sidewall cameras for AI-directed views across the table.

The bundle ships as Cisco Codec EQ, a Cisco Quad Camera, the Quad Camera wall mount (BRKT-QCAM2-WMK-), the Quad Camera power adapter (PSU-12VDC-70W-GR+), a region-specific power cord and a selection of one Cisco Room Navigator touch controller in table-stand or wall-mount form. The Quad Camera is 37.4 x 4.7 x 4.0 in. at 10.6 lb, mounting above or underneath the screen or on a wall; the Codec EQ is 18.6 x 1.7 x 8 in. at 5.1 lb and mounts on a wall, on rack ears or free-standing. Cisco publishes 18W in an active meeting for the 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.

Key Features

• No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radio — Cisco states Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not available in non-radio versions, so the system meets facility rules that bar unmanaged wireless emitters from meeting spaces.
• Multi-lens Quad Camera in First Light — Four CMOS sensors of up to 20 MP each with machine-intelligent switching give 7x zoom and an 83-degree wide field of view with no moving parts to service.
• Integrated room loudspeaker — The camera bar carries a full-range driver with dual low-frequency drivers covering 100 Hz to 20 kHz at up to 90 dB SPL, plus an RCA subwoofer output.
• Speaker tracking to nine meters — The eight-element built-in microphone array drives dynamic speaker tracking, with Cisco recommending the furthest participant sit within less than nine meters.
• Wired presentation paths — Three HDMI inputs, a USB-C input and USB-C passthrough cover content sharing without the wireless layer that a non-radio system omits.
• 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.
• 90W PoE++ across four ports — Camera control, the Room Navigator and AV-over-IP peripherals are powered from the codec over structured cabling.
• Customized-model ordering — The -- designation marks a customized model, which keeps a multi-site secure rollout on one agreed configuration.

Typical Applications

• Government space — a system with no wireless radio meets facility rules for accredited meeting rooms.
• Boardroom — a discreet multi-lens bar with integrated room audio suits an executive room built entirely on wired paths.
• Large conference room — speaker tracking and meeting zones frame a long table without motorised camera movement.
• Commercial meeting space — organisations with RF-restricted floors can standardise on the same room design used elsewhere.
• Training room — Frames camera mode gives remote attendees an equitable view of individuals in the room.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Does removing the radio affect the camera or audio?

No. Cisco documents the same Quad Camera specification on radio and non-radio versions, including four CMOS sensors of up to 20 MP, 7x zoom, an 83-degree wide field of view and the loudspeaker system rated 100 Hz to 20 kHz at up to 90 dB SPL. Only the wireless functions are affected.

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.
