{"product_id":"cisco-cts-sx80-k9-sx80-codec-kit","title":"Cisco SX80 Codec CTS-SX80-K9 – 1RU Integrator Codec for Large Rooms","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cisco CTS-SX80-K9 SX80 Codec is the integrator-grade codec of the SX family, supplied standalone with rack ears and a power cable for large meeting rooms, boardrooms and purpose-built vertical application rooms. Its five video inputs, three video outputs, fifteen audio inputs and eight audio outputs are what separate it from an all-in-one bar and make it the codec of choice where third-party DSP, matrix switching and ceiling microphone arrays are already installed. Cisco placed the SX80 end-of-sale on 29 October 2019 with a last date of support of 31 October 2024, naming CS-CODEC-PRO-K9 as the codec replacement and the Cisco Room Kit Pro G2 as the active replacement product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the video side the SX80 accepts three HDMI inputs, one DVI-I input that takes analog VGA or YPbPr or digital DVI-D, and one composite or S-Video BNC input for legacy sources, then drives three screens from two HDMI outputs and one DVI-I output at up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz or 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz. Cisco describes the SX80 as offering industry-first support for H.265, alongside H.261, H.263, H.263+ and H.264, and it runs point-to-point calls at up to 6 Mbps with up to 10 Mbps total MultiSite bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAudio is where this codec earns its place in a rack. Eight 48V phantom-powered Euroblock microphone inputs each carry their own echo canceller and noise reduction, backed by four balanced line-level Euroblock inputs, three HDMI stereo inputs, six balanced line-level outputs and two HDMI outputs, an eight-port mixer and eight assignable equalizers. With the LIC-SX80-MS licence the codec hosts five-way 720p30 or four-way 1080p30 calls on its own hardware. Cameras Cisco names for the SX80 are the Precision 60, the SpeakerTrack 60 dual-camera system and the Webex Quad Camera, with PresenterTrack requiring an additional Precision 60.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhysically it is 1RU, 17.4 x 1.7 x 12.2 inches and 8.05 pounds, and ships with its rack-mounting solution, so it drops into an existing AV rack without an extra shelf. It has one 10\/100\/1000 LAN port plus two further RJ-45 interfaces for Cisco peripherals, RS-232 and GPIO for room control, and runs from a 100-120\/200-240 VAC supply rated at 170 watts maximum for codec and main camera.

three video outputs, fifteen audio inputs and eight audio outputs across HDMI, DVI-I, BNC and Euroblock connectors let the codec sit inside an existing AV signal chain rather than replace it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight phantom-powered microphone inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Each of the eight 48V Euroblock inputs has its own echo canceller and noise reduction, so a large table or ceiling array can be wired directly to the codec without external preamps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-screen support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Two HDMI outputs and one DVI-I output drive up to three displays at up to 1080p60 or WUXGA, which is the standard layout for a boardroom running people and content side by side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmbedded five-way MultiSite conferencing\u003c\/strong\u003e — With the LIC-SX80-MS licence the codec hosts five-way 720p30 or four-way 1080p30 calls locally at up to 10 Mbps, removing the need for external bridging on small multipoint calls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eH.265 support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cisco describes the SX80 as offering industry-first support for H.265, which lowers the bandwidth needed for a given resolution on SIP calls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack-mountable 1RU chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e — The codec is 1RU at 17.4 x 1.7 x 12.2 inches and 8.05 pounds and ships with its rack-mounting solution, so no additional shelf kit is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoom control interfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e — An RS-232 port for local control and diagnostics plus GPIO give a third-party control system a hardware path into the codec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker and presenter tracking options\u003c\/strong\u003e — SpeakerTrack 60

60.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoardroom\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cisco positions the SX80 for boardrooms, and the eight microphone inputs plus three-screen support match a long executive table with separate people and content displays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConference room\u003c\/strong\u003e — Large conference rooms with existing ceiling microphones and a house audio system can use the Euroblock inputs and outputs directly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuditorium\u003c\/strong\u003e — Six balanced line-level outputs feed an installed amplifier or DSP rack, and the SDI-free BNC input accepts legacy room sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraining room\u003c\/strong\u003e — PresenterTrack with an additional Precision 60 camera follows a presenter between seated and standing positions inside a defined zone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/strong\u003e — The composite and S-Video BNC input and RS-232 control give the codec a place in a production chain built around legacy signal formats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv
