Customize The Video System's Behavior Using Macros - Cisco DX70 Administrator's Manual

Cisco DX70 and DX80

Introduction

Customize the video system's behavior using macros

With macros, you can create your own snippets of code that run
on the video system. The language is JavaScript / ECMAScript 6
with support for features such as arrow functions, promises and
classes.
The macro framework allows an integrator to write scripts that
tailor a video system's behavior to suite an individual customer's
requirements. The integrators can, for example, implement
their own features or variations of features, automate specific
configurations or re-configurations, and create custom tests and
monitoring functions.
By combining the use of macros and creation of a custom user
interface panel (formerly referred to as in-room control panel),
you can amend the user interface to trigger customized local
functionality. For examples:
• Add speed dialling buttons
• Add a button for room reset, which set all configurations back
to your preferred default setup
Consult the CE Customization guide for details about macros and
how to use the video system's built in Macro editor. Go to:
