What Is In-Room Control?
With In-Room Control you can add
custom elements to our Touch10
user interface. Such user interface
extensions may be controls for
lights or blinds, or other peripherals
(including one or more video
switches to extend the number of
video sources available) all controlled
by external control systems.
Since both the Cisco video system
and the other peripherals now are
controlled from the Touch10 user
interface, you will get a consistent
user experience throughout the
meeting room.
The version of the in-room control
feature described in this document,
is available for the MX, SX and
DX Series video systems running
Collaboration Endpoint Software,
version CE9.0 or later.
