Introduction

Extend the number of input sources

You can customize our touch user interfaces to include input
sources that are connected to a third-party external video switch.
The sources will appear and behave as any other video source
that is connected directly to the video system.
User interface with multiple external input sources (example)
Consult the In-Room Control guide for full details about how to
extend the user interface, and how to use the video system's API
to set it up. Go to:

You need a Cisco video system with a touch interface, a third-
party control system, for example Crestron or AMX, and a third-
party video switch. It is the control system, not the video system,
that controls the video switch.
When you program the control system you must use the video
system's API (events and commands)
video switch and the controls on the touch interface. This way you
can synchronize what is shown and done on the user interface
with the actual state of the input sources.
