Auditorium

The Room Kit EQX has a fixed height optimized to provide the best video conferencing views, whether you choose the wall or floor stand. If deploying the wall-mount model, we recommend adhering to the mounting height specified in the installation guide to ensure an optimal camera point of view on the far end and a natural posture for people in the room.

To help the local presenter get better visibility of the remote audience and maintain eye contact, we recommend bundling the installation of the Cisco PTZ 4K Camera with a remote audience screen that can be deployed on the sidewall or on the wall opposite to the front-of-room setup.

Enhance your audio experience with an acoustically absorbing suspended ceiling panel along with acoustical wall panels on adjoining walls. For rooms with parallel glass walls, use heavy curtains or special transparent acoustic panels. Decorative elements like the wooden batten pattern can be effectively used as wall absorbers. To dampen the sound of footsteps and moving chairs, we recommend carpeting on the floor. We recommend engaging an acoustical/AV consultant to optimize the acoustics of larger spaces.

When deploying the Room Kit EQX or Room Kit EQ, adding external table or ceiling microphones is critical for optimum speech pickup. For the best acoustic coverage for the presenter and the audience, we recommend adding multiple Cisco ceiling microphones facing both the presenter and the audience to keep the environment free of cabling and other hardware.

The Room Kit EQX brings a simpler way to equip your large spaces with an integrated, easily deployable solution that works with external displays. The main module features a durable housing for the conferencing components, cabling, and dual VESA screen mounts, and is combined with multiple mounting options for wall and floor, removing the need for complex systems integration.

This room layout ensures everyone can be seen and heard, where the dual displays provide unobstructed view for all attendees while providing ample space for the presenter. For everyday seminars and other community spaces, consider deploying a tiered, semi-circle seating layout with fabric finishes to support inclusion, comfort, and enhanced acoustic quality.

To ensure meeting participants look their best, they should be lit from the front (fill light), top (key light), and back (backlight). For optimal visibility, eye contact, subject highlighting, and scene depth, use glare-free luminaries with a beam angle of 90°or wider to evenly distribute light throughout the room.

We recommend using a light intensity of 400-500 lux, measured vertically, to clearly capture facial features, and 700-900 lux for optimal brightness on horizontal work surfaces.Room lighting should be even, and a light color temperature of 4000 K is generally suitable for most scenarios. For accurate color representation of skin tones and interiors, use a color rendering index (CRI) of 85 or better.
