CODEC EQ USB-C Passthrough means full AV support with one cable?

[Scott Nieto]

Does the Cisco Codec EQ codec allow me to connect one USB cable from laptop to codec and then use my room camera, microphones and speakers to conduct a web conference, such as MS TEAMS, Zoom, etc? Is anything other than the USB cable required?

Hey Scott - yes, it does exactly that. I've used USB passthrough with my Mac and a Desk Pro many times - once you have the USB-C cable connected your laptop will see the camera, speakers, and Mic as peripherals that you can use instead of the built in peripherals, it works perfectly. Nothing else required.

Hi, I have the same question. (Room EQ support Full USB-C)

But Room EQ is not mentioned in this document.

Did you ever use USB passthrough with Room EQ?

Thanks for your advice.

Regard.

Local Korean contractors tell me the EQ Codec will work with a USB-C cable connection.

Thanks, PJMack. I assume that's the same for any codec advertised as USB-C passthrough, including the Codec EQ and the new Room Bar?

[PJMack]

Scott - yes that's correct. I have personally tried it with the Desk Pro and Mini and a Room Kit Mini - have not tried the bar/EQ yet, but I am sure they will work the same way.
