SX 80 Video Output Options

[ASHKER NADAKKAL]

Hi Guys, 

Can anybody help me in configuring the monitor role,if possible, to get the below video output from an SX80 endpoint with two monitors TV1 & TV2:

1) TV1 must show remote video during a call without presentation

2) TV1 must show presentation when content shared during the call and TV2 must show the remote video.

Assuming the TV1 is your left monitor and connected to HDMI 1 (connector 1) output of the codec. TV2 is your right monitor connected to HDMI 2 (connector 2) output of the codec.

1) TV1 must show remote video during a call without presentation

Access the SX80 codec API using SSH/telnet and execute these commands:

xConfiguration Video Monitors: Dual

xConfiguration Video Connnector 1 MonitorRole: First

xConfiguration Video Connnector 2 MonitorRole: Second

Take a look at SX80 API guide under p.80-82 

https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/telepresence/endpoint/sx-series/tc7/api-reference-guide/sx80-api-reference-guide-tc73.pdf

"xConfiguration Video Monitors"

"xConfiguration Video Output Connector [1..3] MonitorRole"

With the above configurations, if a content is being shared the presentation will always be on the Second monitor (TV2) and the farend/remote video will be on the First monitor (TV1).

On the second scenario:

2) TV1 must show presentation when content shared during the call and TV2 must show the remote video.

- you will need a Video Compositor to customize the layouts on the fly using TC Console tool since the codec was already configured based on scenario 1.

hey there, 

I do not know if someone still check this post,but I have exactly the same issue. Our current setting is on the first scenario from Acevirgil de Ocampo. 

However, I do not know how to configure the second scenario since the link is invalid now. 

Can someone help me with this, please ?

Thanks a lot in advance. 

Best

If you are running a recent version of the CE9.x software conde on your SX80, then you can use the Macro capabilities to make the monitors switch roles at the press of a button.

Any reason in particular you want to move the remote video when content is being displayed?

As Acevirgil said, TC Console will let you correct this, but there is a chance that the layout could change and flip-flop them back.

I've encountered this issue as an integrator, sometimes you may have a room with a single projector connected to monitor 1, and a Flat Panel on monitor 2.  You'll always want to swap the video focus to the projector output on monitor 1 in these room configurations.  Unfortunately, without a third party control system like Crestron or AMX to dynamically send the xConfiguration commands, you'll be out of luck.  I suppose even a little Raspberry Pi program could do the trick as well.  All you need to do is listen for when a presentation starts and then swap the monitor roles.  Swap them back when the presentation ends.

You can do it with a Macro Framework Script, there is an example that when click a in room control bottom swap the outputs, maybe if you modify the event...
