HP Slice G2 for Teams - Automating "share content" button on/off status via HDMI ingest monitoring.

[Jack_Burton-85]

Feature request:

Can the "Share Content" button on the HP Slice's touch-panel be controlled/automated by an external control system (Specifically Extron). Possibly triggered by the HDMI ingest port receiving a signal or not.

For example; When joining a meeting, the share content option on the HP slice would be off by default. Meaning from my perspective (being in a room with a single display), I would see my camera along with the attendees cameras on the right side of the screen, With maybe a dialogue box in the middle/left that says "Waiting for content to be shared". When I select a source to be route to the HP Slice's Ingest module, It would be nice if the slice automatically activates the "share content" option. And as soon as the video signal routed to the HDMI Ingest module is muted,  the slice would deactivate the Share Content option.

This would make things 10000000% easier for the end users / average employees that use our conference rooms.  Seems like this could be an easy option for you guys to add. Please consider this!

This feature is actually already there... it just happens that certain HDMI Transmitters/Receivers do not properly mute the signal into the HDMI ingest port, in-turn causing the slice to believe something is still being ingested when video output is muted. Here is what I found:

Extron - XTP II Matrix system:

- The XTP SR HD 4K receivers WILL work 

- XTP R HD 4K Receivers WILL NOT work

I believe the non scaling receiver, when output is muted, continues to pass the 5v signal through HDMI where as the scaling receivers (SR) do not. The 5v signal is what the Ingest port on the slice is looking for when determining if a signal is present and there for does not revert back to the splash screen when I stop sending video to it via a non scaling XTP receiver.
