This document was generated from CDN thread Created by: Mihail Guguvcevski on 06-03-2013 01:26:31 PM I have a setup for a customer with three cameras and a C90 with 10 microphones.As I found out, doing connected layouts with images from the cameras with the TC Console tool is nice but I loose much of the viewable section of the screen, when I put two or three camera segments together in a new layout.Consequently I am thinking about having voice driven (microphone input driven) active segment camera switching (actually something very similar/same like on a TX1300).This means, that certain microphones, when they go over a predefined input gain/power must switch the appropriate congregated camera as the main camera output.Is this possible with the C90/C60 out of the box ?

However you can get the signallevel from each microphone on the API and then trigger a layout change based on a threshold that you define yourself if you have some external controller that can listen to events on the API:1
2xfeedback register event/audio/input/connectors/microphone/signallevel
3xcommand Audio VuMeter Start ConnectorType: Microphone ConnectorId: 1
4xcommand Audio VuMeter Start ConnectorType: Microphone ConnectorId: 2
5xcommand Audio VuMeter Start ConnectorType: Microphone ConnectorId: 3
will give API output: 1
2*e Audio Input Connectors Microphone 1 SignalLevel: 95
3** end
4*e Audio Input Connectors Microphone 1 SignalLevel: 67
5** end
6*e Audio Input Connectors Microphone 3 SignalLevel: 62
7** end
8*e Audio Input Connectors Microphone 1 SignalLevel: 71
9** end
10*e Audio Input Connectors Microphone 2 SignalLevel: 103
11** end
12*e Audio Input Connectors Microphone 1 SignalLevel: 100
13** end

Typically this is called Video Follows Audio. And you need a external Crestron, AMX or other controller for this. You query which microphone has input then map X,Y coordinates for that microphone to the pertinent camera. It helps a great deal if you have PTT (Push to talk microphones like the Shure MX392 or similar for this) as you do not have to worry about false triggers from adjacent microphones etc. The deal only really wiorks so long as the microphones remain at fixed locations at all times so the X, Y coordinates do not have to be continually updated.
