Product overview
Available in first light and carbon color options, Cisco Room Bar combines a powerful codec, an intelligent, wide-field-of-view camera, noise cancelling microphones, dual stereo speakers, and robust integrations in a single offering that was built to infuse more intelligence, reliability, and elegance into modern workspaces.
Boundless video meetings
Just connect the device with one or two flat panel displays via HDMI, and enjoy stunning full HD video and 4K content powering collaboration from a wider array of spaces: from the huddle room and the dedicated office to the meeting room. Want to video-enable more meeting rooms? We’ve got you covered. Add an external microphone to ensure everyone is clearly heard.
Want to join multiple meeting solutions? Room Bar runs natively on RoomOS for Webex meetings and high-quality video interoperability to join Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet with a tap on the Room Navigator touch controller, or with a single voice command. At the same time, Room Bar can be configured as a native Microsoft Teams Rooms system for an elevated Microsoft Teams meeting experience while still offering full-featured Webex meetings.
With Room Bar, you can make sure everyone is included in the meeting: remote participants can clearly see and hear everyone in the room and never lose sight of the active speaker, while in-room members have an exceptional experience and optimized view when interacting with people on the far end. Better still, you get clear, spatial sound in the room emitted closer to the active remote speaker’s video feed, for a true-to-life audio experience.
Enable intelligent workspaces
Cisco Room Bar is built for augmented workplace experiences. It detects people entering the room and activates automatically for a smooth meeting join experience. And it can even recognize meeting participants using the power of artificial intelligence. No more worries about paper rustling, typing, and other background noises disrupting your session. Sophisticated noise suppression combined with machine learning–based noise removal to the rescue.
Prefer touchless experiences? Look no further. Webex Assistant enables you to use voice commands to start your next meeting. Transform your presentations into hybrid collaboration: share 4K content wirelessly or with a single USB-C cable, to keep the ideas flowing and ensure remote participants get the same best experience.
Keep your device under control
Room Bar can be deployed as a fully managed, secure IT asset and comes with a single pane of glass view of device and workspace metrics in the Control Hub. It’s easy to deploy and set up, while leveraging unified management, diagnostics, analytics, and workspace insights across your entire Cisco deployment. These functionalities help IT and Facilities keep track of anomalies, monitor device usage and occupancy, and enable better resource planning.
Cisco Room Bar allows for automatically tracking the number of people in the room for workspace optimization and safety guidelines. Users can easily access conference controls, schedule a meeting, control room peripherals, and access third-party workspace apps with Cisco Room Navigator—used either as a table-stand or a wall-mount touch controller.
