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 conferencing device.
User interface with multiple external input sources (example)
Consult the Customization guide for full details about how to
extend the user interface, and how to use the device's API to set
it up. Go to:

You need a Cisco video conferencing device 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 conferencing device, that controls the video switch.
When you program the control system you must use the video
conferencing device's API (events and commands)
connect with the 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.

programming the control system.
