Cisco Room Kit EQ - Carbon Black (CS-KIT-EQ-C-K9)

Product Overview

The Cisco Room Kit EQ (CS-KIT-EQ-C-K9) in Carbon Black is an AI-powered collaboration bundle for large conference rooms and boardrooms, combining the multi-lens Quad Camera with the Codec EQ computing unit. The Carbon Black finish suits dark AV installations and professional enterprise environments. It delivers simultaneous 4K multi-lens capture, AI-driven speaker framing without mechanical PTZ movement, dual 4K display support, and native Webex operation. As a two-component system, it allows flexible placement of the camera and codec independently — suitable for rooms where the display, camera, and control surface occupy different physical positions.
