Configure your first room and then simply copy the configuration file generated by the XPanel WebUI to all similarly designed rooms. After this, the Cisco Touch 10 interface will display the new source select options and control the switcher. You name and select icons for each input and then define the connection method and settings (RS232 or IP) and you’re done. Using the provided XPanel configuration project, the installer simply chooses the switcher model and the codec model. The Cisco® Routing and Control example program offers a “no programming” solution that’s enabled through an easy web-based configuration page. This is as simple as it gets.Ĭonfiguration-based solutions running on Crestron control systems enable a larger variety of video switching and signal extension options.

Through built-in automation the last source connected is routed to the codec. They just work right out of the box with nothing but an HDMI cable to connect to the codec. For basic huddle room spaces these solutions provide everything you need to extend signals and expand the number of inputs, while adding nothing extra. This reduces complexity.

Plug-n-Play solutions are enabled through built-in auto-switching automation on Crestron switchers with HDMI® connectivity and DM Lite® and DMPS Lite™ products. These design needs are being addressed through the Crestron and Cisco partnership in three ways: A single point of control. When wrapping technology around a Cisco telepresence solution to solve the above use cases, customers still want a single point of control. Input extension. Even for Cisco models that have multiple HDMI® inputs, there’s very often a need to extend input signals from the conference room table or a wall plate out to the codec, while still maintaining signal integrity.ģ. While some of Cisco’s codec’s, such as the SX80, offer four inputs, more cost-effective solutions, such as the SX20 are limited to just two.Ģ.

It’s common for a system designer to need to expand the number of sources that can be connected to a Cisco WebEx® Room kit. Throughout this time, integration methods have evolved, effortlessly and automatically, to meet the most common challenges designers face.ġ.
