Cisco DX70 and DX80 Administrator Guide
Customize the video system's behavior using macros
With macros, you can create your own snippets of code that run
on the video system. The language is JavaScript / ECMAScript 6
with support for features such as arrow functions, promises and
classes.
The macro framework allows an integrator to write scripts that
tailor a video system's behavior to suite an individual customer's
requirements. The integrators can, for example, implement
their own features or variations of features, automate specific
configurations or re-configurations, and create custom tests and
monitoring functions.
By combining the use of macros and creation of a custom user
interface panel (formerly referred to as in-room control panel),
you can amend the user interface to trigger customized local
functionality. For examples:
• Add speed dialling buttons
• Add a button for room reset, which set all configurations back
to your preferred default setup
Consult the CE Customization guide for details about macros and
how to use the video system's built in Macro editor. Go to:

Editor.
We don't offer a stand-alone version of the editor that you can
use to work offline.
The Macro editor
The Macro editor is a powerful tool where
you can:
• Load our code examples, which
you can modify, use as is, or use as
inspiration when writing your own
macros.
• Read our detailed macro scripting
tutorial, which also explains the code
examples in more detailed.
• Write your own macros, and upload
them to the video system.
• Enable/Disable individual macros.
• Check in an embedded Log Console
what happens when you run a macro.
