Configuration Peripherals
New features and improvements in CE8.1
In-room control
With the In-Room Control feature you can customize
the Touch 10 user interface to allow control of
peripherals in your meeting room, for example lights
and blinds. You get a consistent user experience
when the video system and other peripherals in the
room are controlled from the same device.
You can create the user interface extensions for
Touch 10 with the In-Room Control Editor. This is an
easy to use drag-and-drop editor that you launch
from the video system's web interface. You can also
work offline with a stand-alone version of the editor.
The editor is available free of charge; no option key is
required.
A third-party control system with hardware drivers
for the peripherals, for example Crestron, AMX,
Apple HomeKit, or Android is required to control the
chapter.
peripherals. The control system connects to the video
system's API, listens for events and executes the
programmed actions.
For more information about setting up the In-Room
Control feature, refer to the user guide:

Overscan adjustment from the on-screen
display
If you operate the video system with a TRC6 remote
control, you can now adjust the overscan settings also
from the on-screen display. Previously you had to use
the web interface or API.
You can adjust the overscan settings both in the setup
wizard and by selecting Screen Adjustment in the
settings menu. This way you can adjust the image to
fit the screen in scenarios where parts of the image
are not visible.
Most screens have built-in settings to adjust the
image, and these settings should be attempted first.
Cisco Spark support
Collaboration Endpoint Software 8.1 introduces
support for Cisco Spark activation for SX10 (CTS-
SX10N-K9). An SX10 registered to the Cisco Spark
service can be used together with Cisco Spark mobile
and desktop applications.
When the SX10 is activated on Cisco Spark, it
downloads the newest version of Cisco Spark Room
OS.
Cisco Spark Room OS does not have the same
management capabilities as Collaboration Endpoint
Software as its web and command line interfaces
are locked. The Room System is managed by Cisco
and if there are any issues, contact Cisco Technical
Assistance center through the Cisco Spark mobile
application or from the management portal.
