Cisco Room Kit Pro G2 CS-KPRO-Q-L-K9 – Quad Camera Bundle, First Light

Product Overview

Cisco CS-KPRO-Q-L-K9 is the Room Kit Pro G2 Quadcam bundle in the First Light finish - Codec Pro G2, Cisco Quad Camera and Cisco Room Navigator on a table stand. Finish is not a cosmetic afterthought in a high-visibility room: a camera bar sits directly in the sightline above or below the display, and First Light is the version to specify against light walls, pale joinery and white-framed displays. Cisco names this bundle as one of the migration products for the end-of-sale Room Kit Pro, and it is a current product running RoomOS 26.5 or later.

Product Description

Specifying a whole estate on one finish is a legitimate reason to choose a part number, and Cisco makes that possible by publishing First Light and Carbon Black as the two Quad Camera options with no other difference between them. The camera is four 20 MP 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensors at 5056 x 3888 pixels, machine-intelligent switching to a single 1080p stream at up to 60 fps, f/2.0 optics with an 83-degree wide view and three 50-degree tele-lenses, and automatic focus from 1 metre to infinity. An eight-element microphone array drives the intelligent camera modes - Group view, Speaker view, Frames, Dynamic and Manual with presets - and is not used for speech pickup, so room microphones are still specified separately.

Audio into the codec can come four ways: four 48V phantom-powered 3.5 mm Euroblock analog inputs rated to 18 dBu, five HDMI embedded inputs with Audio Return Channel on HDMI 1, USB-C and USB-A, and eight PoE to PoE++ Ethernet ports carrying digital microphones or AES67 at eight streams of eight channels. Output is two balanced line-level Euroblock at up to 8 dBu, three HDMI at 2-channel 48 kHz LPCM, HDMI ARC, USB, and up to four outbound digital streams plus AES67. That AES67 path is what lets the room join an existing networked audio system rather than sitting outside it.

Network planning: one 10/100/1000 LAN port, one multi-gigabit port to 10 Gb for IP peripherals, eight IEEE 802.3bt PoE ports sharing a 120 W budget, and Wi-Fi 6 and 6E with 2x2 MIMO on radio versions. The codec is 16.9 x 2.6 x 9.9 inches and 6.2 lb, mounts on a wall, on rack ears or free-standing, and draws up to 270 W from a 100-240 VAC supply.

Key Features

• First Light finish — Cisco publishes First Light and Carbon Black as the two Quad Camera finishes, so an estate can be standardised on the light version against pale walls and white-framed displays.
• Four 20 MP sensors with intelligent switching — A single 1080p60 stream is composed from four sensors at 5056 x 3888 pixels, giving automatic framing without a motorised camera to service.
• Five camera modes selected in software — Group view, Speaker view, Frames, Dynamic and Manual with presets cover most room behaviours without physical adjustment.
• AES67 in and out over the PoE ports — Eight input streams of eight channels and up to four outbound digital streams let the room join an existing AES67 audio network.
• Four phantom-powered analog microphone inputs — 48V Euroblock inputs rated to a maximum 18 dBu accept ceiling and gooseneck microphones directly, alongside the digital and IP audio paths.
• Eight IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ ports with a 120 W budget — Microphones, Navigators and IP peripherals draw power from the codec, which removes local injectors and outlets from the room design.
• Wi-Fi 6 and 6E with 2x2 MIMO — Rooms that cannot be cabled get a modern wireless uplink on radio versions of the codec.
• USB-C passthrough with 15 W power delivery — A single USB-C cable gives a guest laptop the room camera, microphones and speakers plus charging, which is the standard BYOD expectation.
• Up to nine independently controlled cameras — Divisible rooms, lecture capture and multi-camera boardrooms can be built on one codec rather than several systems.
• Occupancy and environmental sensors built in — Room utilisation and environment data reach Control Hub analytics without third-party sensors.

Typical Applications

• Conference room — Cisco names large conference rooms as a target space, and the bundle covers camera, control and audio interfaces in one order.
• Boardroom — Automatic framing and four analog microphone inputs suit an executive table without a camera operator.
• Training room — Cisco names training rooms specifically; multi-camera support covers instructor and audience views.
• Multi-purpose room — Divisible-room deployments run from one codec, so a room that splits does not need two systems.
• Commercial meeting space — A light-finish camera bar suits high-visibility client-facing rooms where the hardware should recede into the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the First Light and Carbon Black bundles?

Cisco publishes First Light and Carbon Black as the two colour options for the Quad Camera. The camera optics, sensors, loudspeaker, mounting and the Codec Pro G2 behind them are identical, so the choice is about matching the room finish.

Can the Quad Camera's microphone array replace table microphones?

No. Cisco states the camera's eight-element array is used for the intelligent camera modes and not for speech pickup, so room microphones are specified separately on the four analog Euroblock inputs or on the PoE digital and AES67 paths.

Does the Room Kit Pro G2 work with Microsoft Teams Rooms?

Yes. Cisco lists Microsoft Teams Rooms among the supported platforms and states the system is MDEP certified. The same hardware also runs Webex, Zoom for Cisco Rooms, H.323, SIP and WebRTC, so the platform decision can be made or changed after purchase.

What call control does it register to?

Cisco publishes support for Webex, Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom for Cisco Rooms, Cisco Expressway and Cisco Unified Communications Manager v15 SU4 or later, plus standards-based H.323, SIP and WebRTC. Firewall traversal uses Cisco Expressway with H.460.18 and H.460.19.

How are microphones and peripherals powered?

The Codec Pro G2 has eight IEEE 802.3bt PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ RJ-45 ports with a 120 W total budget, so digital microphones, Room Navigators and IP peripherals are powered from the codec itself. There are also four 48V phantom-powered 3.5 mm Euroblock analog microphone inputs rated to a maximum 18 dBu.

What software version is required?

Cisco states a minimum of RoomOS 26.5. Plan the software floor into any staged rollout where older codecs are being replaced one room at a time.

How does a guest laptop join a meeting in the room?

USB-C passthrough runs at USB 3.2 Gen 1 up to 5 Gbps with up to 15 W power delivery and carries the room camera, microphones, speakers and content sharing over a single cable, so a visitor can use their own conferencing client with the room hardware.

What warranty applies?

Cisco publishes a 1-year limited liability warranty for this product. Warranty and support are handled per Cisco's standard terms for this product class - contact Creation Networks to confirm coverage and any service attach for your order.
