What's new in this version

This section provides an overview of the new and
changed system settings, and the new features and
improvements in the Cisco Collaboration Endpoint
software version 8.0 (CE8.0) compared to TC7.3.
As CE software is based on TC7, the structure and main
functionalilty remains the same as in TC software.
For more details, we recommend reading the Software

It is important to consider the upgrade require-
ments of CE8.0 before upgrading; otherwise
upgrading to CE8.0 can leave you with a
non-functioning deployment that requires you to
downgrade.

API changes
The number of API commands has been reduced. Some
commands have been removed entirely while others are
different syntactically to cater for underlying architectural
changes.
It is important to consider that current integrations that use
the API are likely to need to be reprogrammed in order to
work with the new API.
The full list of the changes, as well as a list of new
commands are available in this chapter.
xCommand
Intelligent Proximity for content sharing
Cisco Proximity allows you to automatically pair your device
(smartphone, tablet, or laptop) with the video system when
the device comes within range. This feature is enabled by
default.
Cisco Proximity offers three services: Content sharing to
clients, content sharing from clients and basic call contol.
These services are disabled by default.
The Cisco Proximity clients for smartphones and tablets
(Android and iOS), and laptops (Windows and OS X) can be
downloaded from
smartphones and tablets are also available through Google
Play (Android) and Apple App Store (iOS).
Multistream
The Multistream feature enables the video system to send
and receive multiple streams of video in different resolu-
tions simultaneously. The video systems compose layouts
locally, to better adapt the layout to all available screens.
While in a conference with multiple participants, this feature
enhances the user experience in terms of layout control.
A multi-screen system is able to utilize all screens when
participating in a Multistream enabled conference, and the
layout is improved when presenting and sharing content on
all systems.
In this release Multistream is switched Off by default.
We recommend the Cisco UCM 11.0.0 and later,
and the latest versions of TelePresence Server and
TelePresenceConductor for optimal experience.
Microphone LED behaviour
The LED behavior on microphones and Touch 10 has
changed. The microphone LED glows and the mute button
is active in the following scenarios:
