Cisco Room Kit EQ — modular video conferencing kit for large rooms with Quad Camera and Room Navigator (Carbon Black)
Webex & Teams RoomsQuad Camera · 5x opticalUp to 3 screensRoom Navigator included
The Cisco Room Kit EQ (CS-KIT-EQ-C-K9) is a modular video conferencing kit for large meeting rooms and boardrooms that combines the Cisco Codec EQ, the Carbon Black Cisco Quad Camera with four 20 MP sensors and an 8-microphone array, and a table-stand Cisco Room Navigator touch controller.
Unlike an all-in-one bar, the codec sits separately (behind the screen, in a rack or on a shelf) and the camera mounts above or below the display. That makes it the starting point for bigger rooms: the Codec EQ drives up to three screens, powers cameras, the Navigator and up to eight Cisco IP microphones from its four PoE++ ports, and runs either Cisco RoomOS with native Webex or Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android.
Before you order: This is a room system. Displays are not included, and the room needs a wired network plus either a Cisco device registration (Webex Control Hub or CUCM/Expressway) or a Microsoft Teams Rooms licence. Cisco lists the codec power cord as an option — if it is missing, a standard C13 cord (10 A / 250 V) is needed.
What's in the Box
- Cisco Codec EQ (with antennas)
- Cisco Quad Camera, Carbon Black, with 8-microphone array and built-in speakers
- Cisco Room Navigator touch controller with table stand (First Light per Cisco ordering data)
- Quad Camera wall bracket
- Quad Camera power supply 70 W
- Region power cord (per Cisco default components)
What It Means in Practice
- The Quad Camera combines a wide lens with tele lenses, so speaker tracking can cut to a close-up of the person talking at the far end of a long table; Cisco recommends the furthest person within about 9 m.
- Three HDMI outputs in RoomOS mean people, content and a presenter view on separate screens; in Teams Rooms mode you get two.
- The four PoE++ ports power the Navigator and extra Cisco IP ceiling or table microphones directly from the codec.
- A visitor's laptop on USB-C can use the room's camera, microphones and speakers in any meeting app (BYOD mode).
What Will Not Work
- It is not a USB webcam for a desk PC.
- Native Zoom Rooms is not supported — Zoom meetings are joined via SIP in RoomOS mode.
- Teams Rooms mode is cloud-only, limited to two screens and has no web apps or digital signage.
- Displays, licences and a codec power cord (if not supplied in your region) must be added separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need speakers?
No for most rooms: the Quad Camera has built-in speakers and an 8-mic array, and a subwoofer can be added via its RCA output.
How big a room is it for?
Cisco positions the Room Kit EQ for large conference rooms, boardrooms and training rooms; speaker tracking works best with the furthest person within about 9 m.
Can I add more microphones?
Yes, up to eight Cisco IP microphones powered from the codec's PoE++ ports, or AES67 microphones with the AV Integrator licence.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The Room Kit EQ is the step up from a video bar when one bar under the screen is no longer enough: separate codec, a camera with real optical zoom and room for extra microphones. Budget for two or three large
commercial displays, a network point behind the screen and the platform licence, and the room is complete.
✓ Buy it if you equip a large Webex or Teams Rooms boardroom and want optical zoom, three screens and expandable audio.
✕ Skip it if the room seats fewer than about eight people — a Cisco Room Bar or Room Bar Pro is simpler — or you need native Zoom Rooms.
→ Also consider Cisco Room Kit EQ Vision PTZ for presenter tracking; Cisco Room Bar Pro for medium rooms.
