This guide provides instructions for installing the Cisco Room Kit EQ system. It covers the setup of the Cisco Quad Camera, Cisco Codec EQ, and Cisco Room Navigator.

Product Components

Cisco Quad Camera
Cisco Codec EQ
Cisco Room Navigator
Wall Bracket for Quad Camera

Power and Connectivity

Power: 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. Use a power cable that meets the power specification of the codec. Ensure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible. The device is designed for connection to TN and IT power systems.
Network Connectivity: Use either Ethernet LAN or Wi-Fi. Devices with 'NR' in their product identifier (PID) do not support Wi-Fi.

Ventilation

Ensure no ventilation openings on the codec are blocked. Maintain a minimum of 10cm (4 inches) of free space in front and rear of the unit. For rack mounting, ensure the ambient temperature does not exceed 35°C.

Mounting Options

Choose one of the following mounting options:

Wall Mount Kit: For mounting the codec on a wall.
Rack Mount Kit: For mounting the codec in a rack.
Desk Placement: For placing the codec on a desk or shelf.

Mounting the Codec in a Wall Mount

The product must be installed by qualified personnel. The installer must provide the necessary parts to safely fix the product to the wall. The combined weight of the codec and bracket is 1643 g (3.6 lbs).

Tools you may need: [Screwdriver, Level, Pencil, Drill]

Mounting the Codec in a Rack

Follow the diagrams for mounting the codec in a rack. Ensure correct alignment and secure fastening.

Placing the Codec on a Desk or Shelf

Position the codec on a stable, flat surface.

Connecting the Antennas (for radio version only)

Connect the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas to the codec as shown in the diagrams.

Deciding Where to Place the Quad Camera

The placement of the Quad Camera depends on the screen's mounting height:

Mount the camera below the screen if the screen's mounting height is higher than 120 cm (47 inches).
Mount the camera above the screen if the screen's mounting height is lower than 120 cm (47 inches). The recommended screen mounting height in this case is 80 cm (31.5 inches).

Safety and Mounting Hardware: Ensure the wall and mounting hardware can safely support the product. Installation must be done by qualified personnel according to local building regulations.

Mounting the Quad Camera Wall Bracket

Follow the diagrams to attach the Quad Camera wall bracket. Ensure correct measurements are used for proper camera tilt and clearance.

Note: When mounting the camera above the screen, ensure sufficient space for the camera to tilt fully forward.

Attaching the Quad Camera to the Bracket

Attach the Quad Camera to the bracket until you hear a click, indicating it is secured.

Deciding the Tilt Angle for the Quad Camera

The tilt angle of the Quad Camera is determined by the mounting height (H) of the screen. Refer to the table provided:

Height (H) | Tilt Angle (A)
105-125 cm / 42-49" | 0°
125-145 cm / 49-57" | 5°
145-175 cm / 57-69" | 10°
175-205 cm / 69-81" | 15°

Adjusting the Tilt Angle for the Quad Camera

Tilt the camera fully forward. If it cannot tilt fully forward, check the wall bracket to screen distance.
Use the sliders to adjust the tilt angle between 0° and 15° in 5° increments. Do not exceed 15°.
Return the Quad Camera to its normal position.
Verify the tilt angle adjustment during the software setup.

Connecting the Cables

Connect the necessary cables to the Cisco Codec EQ and Quad Camera. Refer to the diagrams for port identification.

Codec EQ Ports: Includes antenna connectors, security slots, power, network (Ethernet PoE), HDMI outputs and inputs, USB ports, factory reset, maintenance port, and microphone inputs.
Quad Camera Ports: Includes subwoofer output, line input, maintenance port, factory reset, USB-A, HDMI output, camera control (Ethernet), power input, and earth terminal.

Power over Ethernet (PoE++): The first four Ethernet ports on the Codec EQ support PoE++ IEEE802.3bt, providing up to 90W per port, with a combined delivery capability of 90W for all four ports.

Quad Camera Power: Always use the supplied 70W gray power adapter for the Quad Camera.

Connecting the PTZ 4K Camera (Optional)

If using the optional PTZ 4K camera, connect it using PoE (ports 1-3 on Codec EQ) or the provided power adapter. Ensure you use the specified power supplies. Do not use a VISCA cable for camera control as it can cause severe damage.

Turning on the Codec and Completing Software Setup

Turn on the screen. Consult the screen's user documentation if manual HDMI input configuration is needed.
The system powers up automatically. If not, check the power switch on the codec and Quad camera.
Follow the on-screen instructions on the Welcome screen to complete the setup.
It is recommended to upgrade the software on your Codec EQ before use. Refer to the Administrator Guide for the codec: https://www.cisco.com/go/roomkit-docs
