Customize The Video System's User Interface - Cisco DX70 Administrator's Manual

Introduction

Customize the video system's user interface

You can customize the user interface to allow control of
peripherals in a meeting room, for example lights and blinds, or to
modify the video system's behavior by triggering macros.
This allows for the powerful combination of a control system's
functionality and the video system's user-friendly user interface.
Example in-room control panel
Consult the CE Customization guide for full details about how to
design custom user interface panels (in-room control panels)
using the In-Room Control editor, and how to use the video
system's API to program the in-room controls. Go to:

In-room control architecture
You need a Cisco video system with a touch interface, and a
control system. The control system may be a third-party system,
such as Crestron or AMX, with hardware drivers for peripherals.
It is the control system, not the video system, that controls the
peripherals.
When you program the control system you must use the video
system's API (events and commands) in order to connect with the
controls on the video system's user interface.

The video system's macro framework may also serve as a
control system. In this case the control system can use the video
system's API to trigger all sorts of local functionality: Speed dial,
language selection, customized system reset, and much more.
