Video Output HDMI [1] CEC Mode
The HDMI outputs support Consumer Electronics Control (CEC). When set to on (default is 
off), and the monitor connected to the HDMI output is CEC compatible and CEC is configured, 
the system will use CEC to set the monitor in standby when the system enters standby. 
Likewise the system will wake up the monitor when the system wakes up from standby. Please 
note that the different manufacturers uses different marketing names for CEC, for example 
Anynet+ (Samsung); Aquos Link (Sharp); BR AVIA Sync (Sony); HDMI-CEC (Hitachi); Kuro Link 
(Pioneer); CE-Link and Regza Link (Toshiba); RIHD (Onkyo); HDAVI Control, EZ-Sync, VIER A Link 
(Panasonic); EasyLink (Philips); and NetCommand for HDMI (Mitsubishi).
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Off:  Disable CEC control.
On:  Enable CEC control.
Example:
 Video Output HDMI 1 CEC Mode: Off
Video Output HDMI [1] MonitorRole
The HDMI monitor role describes which video stream will be shown on the monitor connected 
to the video output HDMI connector.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Auto:  The system will detect when a monitor is connected and assign a monitor role to it. 
The first monitor connected will be assigned monitor role First. In a multi-monitor setup the 
next monitor will be assigned monitor role Second.
First/Second:  Define the role of the monitor in a multi-monitor setup. In a single-monitor 
setup, there is no difference between First and Second.
PresentationOnly:  Show presentation video stream if active, and nothing else.
Recorder:  Show all participants, including the local main video. If active, also show the 
presentation.
Example:
 Video Output HDMI 1 MonitorRole: Auto
Video Output HDMI [1] OverscanLevel
Some T Vs or other monitors may not display the whole image sent out on the systems video 
output, but cuts the outer parts of the image. In this case this setting can be used to let the 
system not use the outer parts of video resolution. Both the video and the OSD menu will be 
scaled in this case.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Medium:  The system will not use the outer 3% of the output resolution.
High:  The system will not use the outer 6% of the output resolution
None:  The system will use all of the output resolution.
Example:
 Video Output HDMI 1 OverscanLevel: None
Video Output HDMI [1] Resolution
Select the preferred resolution for the monitor connected to the video output HDMI connector. 
This will force the resolution on the monitor.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Auto:  The system will automatically try to set the optimal resolution based on negotiation 
with the connected monitor.
Range:  640x480@60p, 800x600@60p, 1024x768@60p, 1280x1024@60p, 1280x720@50p,

Video Output DVI [2] RGBQuantizationRange
All devices with DVI outputs should follow the rules for RGB video quantization range defined in 
CEA-861. Unfortunately some devices do not follow the standard and this configuration may be 
used to override the settings to get a perfect image with any display. The default value is set to 
Full because most DVI displays expects full quantization range.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Auto:  RGB quantization range is automatically selected based on video format according to 
CEA-861-E. CE video formats will use limited quantization range levels. IT video formats will 
use full quantization range levels.
Full:  Full quantization range. The R, G, B quantization range includes all code values (0 - 
255). This is defined in CEA-861-E.
Limited:  Limited Quantization Range. R, G, B quantization range that excludes some code 
values at the extremes (16 - 235). This is defined in CEA-861-E.
Example:
 Video Output DVI 2 RGBQuantizationRange: Full

The video system is delivered with a default user account 
with full credentials. The user name is admin , and initially, no 
password is set for the default user.
A warning, saying that the system password is not set, is 
shown on screen until a password is set for the admin  u s e r.
We strongly recommend that you set a password 
for the admin user, and to any other user with 
similar credentials, to restrict access to system 
configuration.
Make sure to keep a copy of the password in a safe 
place. You have to factory reset the unit if you have 
forgotten the password.
Other user accounts
You can create as many user accounts as you like for your 
video system. 
You can read more about how to create and manage user 
accounts in the ►
  User administration  section.

Cisco VCS provisioning
When using Cisco VCS (Video Communication Server)
provisioning, a template containing all the settings that can be 
provisioned must be uploaded to Cisco TMS (TelePresence 
Management System). This is called the Cisco TMS 
provisioning configuration template .
All the system settings for your video system are included in 
this template. All settings except SystemUnit Name  and SIP 
Profile [1..1] URI can be automatically provisioned to the video 
system.
The settings are described in the ► System settings chapter 
in this guide. Examples showing either the default value or an 
example value are included.Downloading the provisioning configuration template
You can download the templates for the Profile series here:
► ht tp://w w w.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11326/prod_
release_notes_list.html
You can download the templates for the C series here:
► ht tp://w w w.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11422/prod_
release_notes_list.html
For each software release there is one provisioning 
configuration template for every video system model. Take 
care to download the correct file.
Read the Cisco TMS Provisioning Deployment Guide to find 
how to upload the file to Cisco TMS, and how to set the 
desired values for the parameters to be provisioned. If not set 
by Cisco TMS, the default values will be used.
