Administrator Guide
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 conferencing device’s behavior by triggering
macros.
This allows for the powerful combination of a control system’s
functionality and the video conferencing device's user-friendly
user interface.
Example in-room control panel
Consult the
Customization guide
for full details about how to
design custom user interface panels and action buttons using the
UI Extensions editor (formerly In-Room Control editor), and how to
use the video conferencing device’s API to program the controls
and actions. Go to:

In-room control architecture
You need a Cisco video conferencing device 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
conferencing device, that controls the peripherals.
When you program the control system you must use the video
conferencing device’s API (events and commands) in order to
connect with the controls on the video conferencing device's user
interface.

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