Introduction

Add in-room controls to Touch 10

You can customize our Touch 10 user interface to allow control of
peripherals in a meeting room, for example lights and blinds.
This allows for the powerful combination of a control system's
functionality and the user-friendly Touch 10 user interface.

Consult the In-Room Control guide for full details about how to
design an in-room control panel using the In-Room Control editor,
and how to use the video system's API to program the in-room
controls. Go to:

Configuration Peripherals
Architecture
You need a Cisco video system with a Touch controller, and a
third-party control system, for example Crestron or AMX, with
hardware drivers for the peripherals. It is the control system, not
the video system, that controls the peripherals.
When you program the control system you must use the video
system's API (events and commands) in order to connect with the
controls on the Touch controller.
An easy to use drag-and-drop editor, which you should use to
compose the custom in-room control panel, comes free of charge
with the video system's software.
