CS-CODEC-PRO-K9 Cisco Codec Pro Room Kit Pro Video Codec

CS-CODEC-PRO-K9 is the Cisco Codec Pro, the video codec at the centre of the Cisco Room Kit Pro. It takes six video inputs: two HDMI up to 1080p60, three HDMI up to UHD 3840x2160 at 30 fps, and one 3G-SDI up to 1080p60, with EDID and CEC 2.0. Three video outputs are available, two HDMI at up to 4K60 and one at up to 4K30.

Audio is built for large rooms. There are eight 48 V phantom-powered microphone inputs on Euroblock connectors, each with its own echo canceller and noise reduction, plus three HDMI digital stereo inputs, two USB-A stereo inputs and AES67 connectivity. Up to eight Cisco IP microphones can connect over PoE. Six balanced line-level outputs, three HDMI outputs and a subwoofer output for the Quad Camera handle sound out.

The codec works with the Cisco Quad Camera, the Cisco PTZ 4K Camera and the Cisco Precision 60 Camera. Video streams encode and decode up to Full HD 1080p60, and content streams reach 4K 2160p15. Embedded MultiSite for up to five participants is optional.

Network connections are one 10/100/1000 LAN port, two Gigabit ports for direct camera pairing, and two Gigabit PoE ports, one for the Room Navigator and one for IP room peripherals. Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac with 2x2 MIMO and Bluetooth are present on radio versions only. Protocols are H.323, SIP, Webex and WebRTC, with H.264, H.265, H.263 and AV1 video.

The unit measures 17.1 in wide, 2.6 in high and 9.1 in deep (43.6 x 6.6 x 23.1 cm) and weighs 7.3 lb (3.3 kg). It can be wall mounted, rack mounted with the CS-CPRO-RACKEARS rack ears or placed free-standing, and the CS-CPRO-WMK wall-mount kit is a separate part.
