The Video Input Matrix
The video input matrix is found at the underside side of the
codec. The matrix illustrates the combinations in which the
video inputs can be connected.
About the matrix
Only one video input source from each row can be active at
any time.
The numbers in the left column represents the Video Input
Sources 1–5. The main connectors, which are used in basic
setup, are marked in orange color on the codec.
Note that the Comp. 5 and S-Video (YC) 5 inputs uses the
same physical connectors and can not be connected at the
same time.
Configure the video inputs
You can configure the video input settings from the Advanced
configuration menu or by running API commands.
The Advanced configuration menu
Go to the on screen menu to configure the video input sources.
• Navigate to: Settings > Advanced > Advanced Configuration
> Video > Input > Source 1. Configure the video input
connectors, quality and name. See the video input matrix.
Only one video input source from each row in the matrix,
can be active at any time.
• Navigate to: Settings > Advanced > Advanced Configuration
> Video > MainVideoSource. Configure the main video
source.
• Navigate to: Settings > Advanced > Advanced Configuration
> Video > DefaultPresentationSource. Configure the default
presentation source.
The API commands
Open a telnet or ssh session, to the codec, to issue the API commands.
Configure the video input connectors. See the video input matrix. Only
one video input source from each row in the matrix, can be active at any
time:
• xconfiguration video input source 1 connector: hdmi
• xconfiguration video input source 2 connector: hdmi
• xconfiguration video input source 3 connector: dvi
• xconfiguration video input source 4 connector: hdmi
• xconfiguration video input source 5 connector: dvi
Configure the video quality and define a name of the video inputs 1 to 5:
• xconfiguration video input source 1 quality: motion
• xconfiguration video input source 1 name: “Main Camera“
Configure the main video source. Here, the main video source is the
camera, connected to video input source 1:
• xconfiguration video mainvideosource: 1
Configure the default presentation source. Here, the default presentation
source is a PC, and the PC is connected to video input source 3

Audio inputs
Unused, but connected audio inputs must be
set to Off to avoid unwanted audio/noise.
Microphone/Line In 1–8 (XLR)
8 x Balanced XLR sockets, audio input 1–8.
Main connector. The Microphone/Line In 1 is
the main connector for the microphone.
All eight microphone inputs are for balanced
electret microphones, 48V phantom powered
via XLR connectors.
The phantom powering of all eight XLR
sockets can be individually switched off. The
input will then be a balanced line level input.
All Microphone/Line In 1–8 are equipped with
acoustic echo canceller.
Use Microphone/Line In 1–8 to connect to an
external microphone amplifier or an external
mixer.
Default configuration. In default configuration,
all Microphone/Line In inputs are enabled and
configured as microphones.
HDMI In 3, 4
2 x HDMI connectors, audio input 3, 4
Typical use: Use HDMI In 3 or 4 (2–8 channels)
to connect to external playback devices as
DVD players. Each input support up to two

Audio inputs, continued...
Unused, but connected audio inputs must be
set to Off to avoid unwanted audio/noise.
Line In 1–4 (RCA)
4 x RCA sockets, audio input 1–4
Audio Line In 1–4 are used when connecting
to PC and to external playback devices, such
as VCR’s or DVD players.
Main connectors. The Line In 1 (left) and Line
In 2 (right) are the main connectors to a PC.
Stereo. For systems with stereo I/O the audio
inputs can be configured in stereo pairs:
• Connect the left channel to Line In 1 or 3
• Connect the right channel to Line In 2 or 4
Default configuration for Line In 1–2. In the
default configuration Line In 1 and 2 are
configured as stereo inputs for external
playback devices, such as a PC.
Default configuration for Line In 3–4. In the
default configuration Line In 3 and 4 are
configured as stereo input pairs. The two
inputs are paired with Line Out 3 and 4
respectively.
This pairing will avoid feedback situations that
can arise when playback/recording devices
are in standby mode (Loop suppression).
Line In 3 and 4 are used with external
playback devices as VCR’s and DVD players.

COM port and Camera
Control port
COM port
1 x COM (RS-232) data port for codec control
and configuration through API commands.
Camera Control port
1 x Camera Control (RS-232) port for power
and camera control (pan, tilt, zoom) using the
VISCA™* protocol.
Main connector. The main camera is
connected to the Camera Control port.
Power. Pin No. 4 on the Camera Control port
provides 12 V DC / 1 A to the main camera.
If more than one camera is connected, only
the first camera is powered from the codec.
The additional cameras must be daisy chained
by using a serial cable, and each will need an
external power supply.
Additional cameras. For information about
additional cameras, see the PrecisionHD

GPIO and other connectors
GPIO
1 × GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output)
6 pins Phoenix plug, having 4 ports for On/Off control, GND
and +12V.
You can configure input/output integrations by using pre–
defined behavior. Exposure of states and commands for
external control requires external programming.
For information about the API commands, see the API Guide
for the codec, go to: http://www.cisco.com/go/telepresence/
docs
Usage information
• A contact closure between the GND and a GPIO port pin is
detected as a low input signal.
• When used for voltage inputs, the GPIO port detects it as:
• Low signal for voltages 0 - 1 VDC
• High signal for voltages 2 - 12 VDC
• When used for outputs, the GPIO port acts as a switch
to GND, and is rated for 500mA @ 48V DC. The +12V pin
provides +12 VDC, and is capable of sourcing up to 500mA.
• The GND connector is a common ground for all pins in the
GPIO port.
