SoundStructure Studio
To use the Polycom Touch Control with the SoundStructure system, the
SoundStructure Studio version must be 1.5.0 or later. As described in this
chapter, SoundStructure Studio 1.5.0 automatically creates the necessary
events for integrating the Polycom Touch Control with the SoundStructure
system.
To use the Polycom Touch Control, it must be first paired with the system to
be controlled. A Polycom Touch Control may be paired either with:
• an HDX system for video conferencing applications (which may include
optional SoundStructure devices), or
• a SoundStructure system for audio conferencing applications.
It is important to understand the operational differences of the Polycom Touch
Control when paired with an HDX system vs. when paired with a SoundStruc-
ture system. An overview of these operational differences is shown in the
following table.
Paired with HDX (+ optional
SoundStructure system)
Controls the HDX directly and an
optional SoundStructure system is
indirectly controlled with Conference
Link2 messages.
HDX video calls, HDX telephony
interfaces
Controls the volume in the HDX. If
optional SoundStructure devices are
connected over Conference Link2,
SoundStructure will receive
clink_volume messages from the
HDX over Conference Link2.
Controls the microphone mute in the
HDX. If optional SoundStructure
devices are connected over
Conference Link2, SoundStructure
will receive clink_mute messages
from the HDX over Conference Link2.
Paired with SoundStructure system
Controls the SoundStructure system
via the SoundStructure API
SoundStructure telephony interfaces
via the SoundStructure API
commands.
Polycom Touch Control sends
clink_volume API command
directly to the SoundStructure system
in the form of:
set clink_volume 1 N
where N ranges from 0 to 51.
Polycom Touch Control sends
clink_mute API command directly
to SoundStructure system in the form
of:
set clink_mute 1 1 to mute
set clink_mute 1 0 to unmute
