In-Room Control: Control external video switcher with virtual
sources
This feature allows you to extend the physical input source(s) on a Cisco TelePresence video system
(including Cisco DX70 and DX80) into virtual sources that represents each input source on one or
more video switchers. The virtual sources are visible from the share tray (on-screen or on the Touch
10) and can be presented as any other physical source without needing to swap cables or change
input source manually. It will look completely transparent for normal users.
The number of virtual sources you can create depends on how many you have available on the video
switcher; Cisco recommends no more than maximum 50 virtual sources.
The external video switcher must be supported by a control system, for example from Crestron or
AMX, that can interact with the video systems API to make this feature work.
For more information on how to setup virtual sources, please follow the link below:

Active Control support with CMS 2.1
Active Control is a SIP feature that has been supported with Cisco TelePresence endpoints for a while
with Cisco TelePresence Server. The Active Control feature allows the conference participants to
receive details of the meeting and perform a few administrative tasks during the meeting, using the
endpoint user interface. This includes a participant list (roster list) showing who is speaking, sharing,
muted. You can actively drop participants, mute, change layout etc.
This feature is now supported on CMS 2.1 hosted conferences and endpoints running CE8.3.0.
Active Control is default set to “Auto” on the Room Systems and will be negotiated automatically if
available on the CMS side.
A few highlights that was previously not available is that Active Control will tell the endpoint when it is
muted on the server side and the mute indicator will glow red on the endpoint. You can unmute
yourself by pressing the mute button on the microphone, remote control or Touch 10 just like any
normal scenario instead of sending DTMF signals to the conference server.
• Best effort encryption by default.
• Adaptive layouts based on active speakers.
• Recording status indicator.
• Active Control features are also available from the call control area of the web interface.
