Cisco Spark Room Kit is a powerful collaboration solution that integrates with flat panel displays to bring more intelligence and usability to your small to medium-sized meeting rooms – whether registered on the premises or through the cloud.
Cisco Spark Room Kit overview
Cisco Spark™ Room Kit delivers the unmatched video and audio experience customers have come to expect from Cisco. In addition, new capabilities enable even smarter meetings, smarter presentation capabilities, and smarter room and device integrations – further removing the barriers to usage and deployment of video in small to medium-sized rooms.
The Room Kit – which includes camera, codec, speakers, and microphones integrated in a single device – is ideal for rooms that seat up to seven people. It offers sophisticated camera technologies that bring speaker-tracking capabilities to smaller rooms. The product is rich in functionality and experience but is priced and designed to be easily scalable to all of your small conference rooms and spaces – whether registered on the premises or to Cisco Spark through the Cisco® Collaboration Cloud.
