Setting up Macros and Triggers

Macros are sequences of commands. Triggers register events or state changes that can be associated
with macros, to make them run. For example, the One Touch (Home) button on a TableMIC is a trigger.
When you associate a macro with a trigger, you must specify whether it runs when the trigger turns on, or
when it turns off – so you can associate two macros with each trigger, one to run when the trigger is
activated, and one to run when the trigger is turned off.
A trigger may be either hardware, such as the Home button on a tabletop microphone, or software.
Software triggers allow you to program custom functions for third-party control devices, such as defining
the buttons on a conference room touch-screen. Hardware triggers (labeled One Touch in the web
interface) allow you to define responses to connected Vaddio trigger devices such as TableMIC
microphones.
The macro can only run successfully if all the commands in the macro are able to run successfully. For
example, if the macro sends the camera to a preset position, that preset must be defined. Refer to the
section for a full list of commands.
The steps for working with macros and triggers are the same for the EasyIP Decoder and the EasyIP
Mixer. The Control Devices pages differ in these ways:
n
The EasyIP Decoder presents One Touch triggers to associate macros with the Home button on
connected TableMIC microphones.
n
The EasyIP Mixer presents hardware triggers to associate macros with devices connected to the
Trigger port.
