Product Features
Technical Overview
This codec processes video in two distinct pipelines: one for live camera feeds at Full HD (1920x1080) resolution and a separate, higher-bandwidth pipeline for content sharing at 4K UHD (3840x2160). Both streams can achieve a maximum frame rate of 60 frames per second, minimizing motion blur and ensuring smooth presentation of fast-moving content or active speakers.
Video encoding leverages modern codecs like H.265 for efficiency alongside widely supported H.264 and H.263. Audio processing is equally robust, supporting a range of codecs from narrowband G.711 to wideband Opus and AAC-LD for high-fidelity sound. The integrated echo cancellation feature is critical for maintaining audio clarity in room environments.

Deployment / Use Cases
This codec is ideal for medium to large conference rooms, training facilities, or executive briefing centers where reliable, high-quality video is non-negotiable. Its standalone nature makes it perfect for rooms equipped with separate cameras, microphones, and displays, acting as the central brain that ties the AV system together.
Common deployment scenarios include integrating with existing room displays and audio systems, connecting to SIP-based unified communications platforms like Webex, or interfacing with legacy H.323 video conferencing networks. The compact 1U-height form factor allows for flexible placement in equipment racks, credenzas, or media cabinets.
Standard Conference Room
Deploy as the core processor in a dedicated meeting room, connecting to a PTZ camera, ceiling microphones, and a large display. Use HDMI inputs for laptop content sharing and network connectivity for cloud meetings.
Hybrid Collaboration Hub
Leverage its dual-protocol support to bridge in-room participants with remote attendees on various platforms—connecting via SIP to a cloud service while maintaining H.323 links to other organizational video systems.

FAQ
What is the difference between the live video and content video resolutions on this codec?
The Cisco Codec EQ processes two independent video streams. The live video pipeline, typically for camera feeds, supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 (Full HD). The content pipeline, used for sharing presentations, documents, or laptop screens, supports a higher 3840x2160 (4K UHD) resolution. This allows you to share detailed content in 4K while maintaining an optimized stream for live video conferencing.
Which video conferencing protocols does this Cisco codec support?
It supports a robust set of standard protocols for broad interoperability. This includes H.323 for connecting to traditional video conference systems and infrastructure, SIP for connecting to VoIP systems and cloud-based services like Webex, and H.239 for dual-stream content sharing.
