Webex Room Kit Pro

Can I connect cameras to the Cisco Webex Room Kit Pro input through a matrix switch? This is for switching cameras in a conference and using Pearl-2 Rackmount..

they are just HDMI inputs - so sure. How are you going to control them?

Going by your picture, you're still feeding both cameras in to the codec, and still providing the Ethernet control of them, so they should all still work fine.  The only way this won't work properly is if you swap the two cameras over with your matrix switch, then you would then need to control "camera 2" to move the one that is now showing as "camera 1" and vice versa.

If you just want to swap the cameras over, you would be better using the xAPI to swap the camera inputs, Or, if you're wanting to do some layouts, you may be better off controlling which camera is seen where on the screen using the in-built Video Compositing functions that are available the newer releases of software (since CE9.5).

Please remember to mark helpful responses and to set your question as answered if appropriate.

As per Wayne's reply, it should work but you'd probably be better off connecting them straight to the codec and switching via the API, assuming you have enough inputs on the codec.
