Cisco Room Kit Pro G2 CS-KPRO-Z-L-K9 – Room Vision PTZ Bundle, Arctic White

Product Overview

Cisco CS-KPRO-Z-L-K9 is the Room Kit Pro G2 Room Vision PTZ bundle in Arctic White - the Codec Pro G2, the Cisco Room Vision PTZ Camera and a Room Navigator on a table stand. Where the camera is going onto a white ceiling tile grid or a pale wall, the Arctic White version is the one that disappears; Cisco publishes Arctic White and Carbon Black as the two finishes for this camera. As with every Room Vision PTZ bundle, Cisco states an external speaker system is required, so amplification and loudspeakers belong on the same budget line as the bundle itself.

Product Description

Camera placement is the design freedom this bundle buys. Because control is IP over the camera's own RJ-45 100/1000 Mbit port and video returns over HDMI 2.0 or as an RTSP stream, and because power is PoE+ under IEEE 802.3at Class 2, the camera needs only structured cabling to reach its position. Cisco publishes a wall mount for Ethernet-only installs and a wall and ceiling mount for HDMI plus IP, and tilt travel from -25 to +90 degrees makes a ceiling position workable. The camera weighs 5.07 lb with a 1.54 lb bracket, and the assembly measures 6.5 x 7.88 x 8.52 inches.

Optically the camera delivers 1920 x 1080 at 60 fps or 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps, 12x optical and 5x digital zoom for 60x total, an 80.5-degree horizontal field of view and F 1.8 to 3.6 optics, with manual or automatic focus from 1 metre. PresenterTrack applies AI face and upper-body detection with motorised pan and tilt to follow a presenter within a defined zone.

The Codec Pro G2 supports up to nine independently controlled cameras, which is what makes this bundle the starting point for a multi-camera or divisible room rather than a finished single-camera system. Its 10 Gb multi-gigabit IP peripheral port carries up to five video-over-IP streams, the eight IEEE 802.3bt PoE ports share a 120 W budget across cameras, microphones and Navigators, and AES67 runs in and out over those same ports at eight streams of eight channels. Minimum software is RoomOS 26.5, and Cisco states the system is MDEP certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms alongside Webex, Zoom for Cisco Rooms, H.323, SIP and WebRTC.

Key Features

• Arctic White finish — Cisco offers the Room Vision PTZ Camera in Arctic White or Carbon Black; the white version blends into pale ceilings and light front-of-room finishes.
• Structured cabling to the camera position — IP control on the camera's RJ-45 port, HDMI 2.0 or RTSP video and PoE+ power mean the camera can be sited away from the display using standard cabling.
• Ceiling and wall mounting published — A wall mount for Ethernet-only installs and a wall and ceiling mount for HDMI plus IP, with tilt from -25 to +90 degrees, allow an overhead camera position.
• 60x total zoom — 12x optical and 5x digital zoom with an 80.5-degree horizontal field of view covers both wide room views and tight shots of a presenter.
• PresenterTrack — AI face and upper-body detection with motorised pan and tilt follows a presenter inside a defined zone without an operator.
• Up to nine independently controlled cameras — The codec supports multi-camera and divisible-room designs, so this bundle is a starting point rather than a fixed single-camera system.
• Video over IP on a 10 Gb port — Up to five video-over-IP streams reach the codec over a multi-gigabit peripheral port, removing long HDMI runs and extenders.
• AES67 audio in and out — Eight input streams of eight channels and up to four outbound digital streams let the room join an existing networked audio system, which suits a bundle that needs external amplification anyway.
• AV1 encoding alongside H.264 and H.265 — AV1 reduces bandwidth on constrained WAN links without dropping resolution.
• MDEP-certified Microsoft Teams Rooms option — The same hardware runs as a native Teams Rooms device or as a RoomOS device, so the platform decision is not locked at purchase.

Typical Applications

• Training room — Cisco names training rooms among the target spaces, and PresenterTrack follows an instructor inside a defined zone.
• Auditorium — A ceiling-mounted PTZ camera with 60x total zoom covers a deep room from a single position.
• Multi-purpose room — Divisible-room deployments run from one codec with cameras re-aimed as the space is reconfigured.
• Boardroom — Placing the camera away from the display improves eye-lines along a long table.
• Broadcast studio — RTSP streaming output and IP camera control suit a production workflow built around networked video.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the camera be ceiling mounted?

Yes. Cisco publishes a wall mount for Ethernet-only installations and a wall and ceiling mount for HDMI plus IP installations, and the camera tilts from -25 to +90 degrees. The camera plus wall mount measures 6.5 x 7.88 x 8.52 inches, with the camera at 5.07 lb and the bracket at 1.54 lb.

How many cameras can this codec control?

Cisco states the Codec Pro G2 supports up to nine independently controlled cameras, which is what makes multi-camera rooms, lecture capture and divisible-room designs practical on a single codec.

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.
