Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Room Kit EQ and the Room Bar Pro?

The Room Kit EQ is a two-component system (Codec EQ + Quad Camera) designed for larger rooms needing separate camera and codec placement, dual display support, and external microphone integration. The Room Bar Pro is a single-unit bar for medium rooms. Choose Room Kit EQ for rooms 15 persons or larger.

Does the Quad Camera require mechanical PTZ movement to frame participants?

No. The Quad Camera uses multiple fixed lenses to capture the full room simultaneously. AI selects the best crop from the combined image, enabling fast and silent framing without mechanical movement.

Are microphones included in the CS-KIT-EQ-K9 bundle?

No. Microphones are sold separately. The Codec EQ supports Cisco Ceiling Microphone Pro, Table Microphone, and Table Microphone Array. Plan microphone coverage based on room dimensions.

What AV control system integration options are available?

The Codec EQ exposes a full xAPI interface for Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other control systems. The AV Integrator License (L-KITEQ-AV) is available for deeper integration scenarios.

What warranty and SmartNet options apply?
