Add In-Room Controls To The User Interface - Cisco DX70 Administrator's Manual

Introduction

Add in-room controls to the user interface

You can customize the 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 video system's user-friendly user interface.
Example in-room control panel
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 interface, 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 video system's user interface.
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.

The In-Room Control editor
You can use the In-Room Control editor
to compose your custom in-room control
panels for the video system's user
interface.
Sign in to the web interface, and navigate
*
to Integration > In-Room Control.
• Click Launch Editor to launch the
editor directly from the video system's
web interface.
You can push a new in-room control
panel to the video system, and see
the result immediately on the Touch
controller.
• Click Download Editor to download a
stand-alone version that you can use
to work offline.
* You need a user that holds the ROOMCONTROL
or ADMIN user roles in order to access the In-
Room Control editor and the API commands that
you need when programming the control system.
