Patrick: Welcome back.

Let's get right back into configuring that RoomSuite system.

Nate: We've named our devices.

We've got a fully functional UCI.

Next, let's customize the look and feel of this, shall we?

Patrick: Now, before we begin,

I should point out that this next part is, well, it's gonna seem so self-explanatory that you may be wondering,

"Why are we even bothering?"

And the truth is, we get paid by the second for screen time, and I've got my eye on a new hat.

So, uh, get to customizing there.

No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Don't cut to the screen cap.

I want that screen cap bonus.

Yeah.

Come on, put, put me in the lower right-hand corner.

Yeah, sweet hat, here I come.

Nate: Go away.

Patrick: Oh.

Nate: Now, even in its default state, this is a pretty clean UCI.

But exquisite as this is, a real-world deployment will want elements of it to be personalized.

We have a range of customization options here that should satisfy most needs.

So let's dive in.

First, I'll hit this Edit button up here, which allows me to make real-time changes to the style of the UCI and even the behavior of the touchscreen controller.

Patrick: There's no need to take the system offline, and in fact,

it will remain fully functional in its previous state until we finish making the changes and hit Save,

at which point the UCI will quickly reload with those changes implemented.

Nate: In fact, let's see that in action.

I'll leave the color choices set to Simple, but I'm gonna swap out that primary color from blue.

As you can see, the rendering of the UCI here in RoomSuite Manager has updated,

while the actual screen in the room won't update until I hit Save.

Let's make some other changes.

You can switch this UCI from Light to Dark mode, which automatically changes both the background and text colors to maintain legibility.

I'll also change the text font to Roboto so that I can

...thank you very much, oh, Mr. Roboto.

Now I'll hit Save.

The UCI will reload, and we can see those changes have all been applied to the actively running UCI.

Patrick: Changing other aspects of the UCI's appearance is just as easy.

For starters, if we change the color option from Simple to Advanced, our choices become a lot more granular.

We can drill down to the colors of the icons, border colors for the buttons, the text colors.

I've done the math in my head, and there are approximately 2 billion 415 million 919 thousand 104 possible color combinations.

So I don't wanna see any more complaining on Reddit that you couldn't choose the color that you wanted.

Nate: Now let's take a look at our image options.

You have the option to upload both a background image and a company logo.

I'll add a nice background image here and the logo for my corporate client right here.

Patrick: Note that the system will automatically scale the background image to fill the screen,

so make sure your image has the correct aspect ratio to avoid it getting stretched to fill the space.

Check out q-sys.com/tse to get those resolutions.

Nate: Next, let's take a look at the icons.

We can select a specific icon for each of our three video sources to more closely reflect the type of source they represent.

For my room, these are all pretty much spot on already, but that was just luck, not design.

Patrick: Though, the ability to read your mind is on the roadmap.

Nate: Yes.

Okay, onto our pages options.

Here, we can add some simple text that appears on the homepage when the system is in standby mode.

We can also enable the option for the UCI to offer the users a help page, which we can populate with the appropriate information.

Let's go ahead and name this room Candy Conference Corner.

Finally, there are some basic device behavior options here in the backlight tab.

I can set the default backlight level, and also choose to dim or turn off that backlight after a certain period of inactivity.

Okay, let's hit save one more time.

The UCI will once again reload, and all of our changes are now live and operational.

Patrick: Now to add our finishing touches to the user experience.

Let's look at the occupancy tab there.

The RMP-100 has a single general purpose input port for this exact purpose.

Connect that occupancy sensor to the GPI port, and you can enable some simple automation to put the system into standby mode

after a certain period of inactivity, and wake up the room once activity is detected.

Nate: Finally, we have the option of adjusting the colors of the LEDs on compatible devices to reflect any call status changes.

In our room, this allows the NMT-1 microphone, the NL-SB42 soundbar, and the TSC-70G3 touchscreen controllers to all show a clear visual indication

if a call is being received, and if the microphones are muted or active.

Here, we can change the color and even the patterns for the lights for these various states.

I'm gonna change the pattern for my mute state to chasing with tails.

Patrick: Now that NMT-1 is gonna do that really cool Knight Rider impression when you hit that mute button.

Nate: Because nothing says modern technology like a Knight Rider reference.

Patrick: I'm telling you, one day cars will drive themselves.

Nate: All right, that's it for our UCI and control surfaces.

We'll see you in the next video.

Patrick: Michael Knight.
