Cisco Room Kit EQ is a collaboration device bundle that is optimized for RoomOS for native Webex meetings and powerful video interoperability with third-party meeting platforms, and will natively support the Microsoft Teams Rooms experience augmented with full-featured Webex meetings (coming soon). This intelligent hardware offering delivers next-generation video and audio experience to enable more equitable and engaging meetings where everyone has a seat at the table.
Room Kit EQ features the new Cisco Codec EQ, the ultimate AI-powered collaboration hub that brings more connectivity, computing power, and intelligence to modern meeting spaces. This is augmented with the upgraded, 80 MP Cisco Quad Camera, which offers optimized, equitable camera views, high-performing UHD image processing, sharp focus, and stunning zoom capabilities. The system provides a distraction-free, elevated audio experience with a built-in speaker system, machine learning–based noise removal, and seamless connectivity with directional Cisco microphones and third-party audio systems so that everyone comes across loud and clear. Better still, it offers flexible configuration options via PoE, HDMI, USB and analogue connectivity to equip large spaces, stunning 4K content with industry-standard wireless sharing technologies, and powerful USB passthrough to turn your laptop into an instant studio with a single cable.
The Room Kit EQ provides optionality and extensibility with a highly modular setup to easily add touch controllers, cameras, speakers, microphones, and other room peripherals – easing the configuration and scaling of complex, multi-component audiovisual environments. This solution is rich in functionality and experience yet easy to deploy, maintain, and scale to your workspaces – and comes with unified cloud device management and workspace analytics in Control Hub.
