    Compatibility analysis – Nureva HDL310 and Cisco Room Kit EQ

    • PDF

    Article summary

    Nureva has determined that the Cisco® Room Kit EQ will work with the Nureva® HDL310 when configured as shown in this article. Our lab testing found that using analog 3.5 mm connections resulted in suboptimal audio quality. A USB connection is recommended. The testing was conducted using Microsoft® Teams Room and WebEx by Cisco.

    The Cisco Room kit EQ tested in our lab consists of the following:

    1. Codec EQ

    2. Room Navigator touch control unit

    Our kit did not include the Cisco Quad Camera or Cisco PTZ 4K Camera.

    Please note that the information provided in this article is based on the results of our interoperability testing in a controlled lab environment. This article shares the outcomes observed during testing. These observations are specific to the Room Kit EQ and do not apply to other Cisco products.

    Before starting

    Cisco Room Kit EQ with Microsoft Teams Room

    Connection via USB

    Connectivity

    Functional. The HDL310 can be connected using any of the USB-A ports on the Codec EQ.

    Microphones

    Functional. The Codec EQ detects the HDL310 microphones and works as expected.

    Speakers

    Functional. HDL310 volume output was reduced (-4dB). Enabling the HDL310’s dynamic boost feature solves this problem.

    Mute sync

    Functional. Muting of the HDL310 microphones using the Cisco touch control unit and the Nureva remote was successful and synced between both devices.

    Volume sync

    Unsuccessful. Volume adjustments from the Nureva remote do not take effect. Volume adjustments from the Room Navigator control unit work, but the microphone and speaker bar LED indicators do not sync with the changes.

    Screenshare via HDMI

    Functional. The laptop video is projected to the room display and the laptop audio routes to the HDL310. Microphone input via HDMI is not supported.

    BYOD via USB-C

    Unsuccessful. USB-C connection displays the laptop video on the room display and the connected camera shows up as a device, but the audio does not route to the HDL310.

    Connection via analog ports (3.5mm)

    Microphones

    Unsuccessful. The microphone level from the HDL310 is low and distorted.

    Speakers

    Unsuccessful. Audio output from the Codec EQ to the HDL310 is at an acceptable level but slightly distorted despite adjustments in Codec EQ settings.

    Screenshare via HDMI

    Unsuccessful. This feature did not function.

    BYOD via USB-C

    Unsuccessful. The audio routes from the Codec EQ via HDMI. There is no correction available through the Codec EQ settings.
