Hello, I'm new to scripting so I would need some help:

I have an API that sends me numerical data, and when that data hits X I would like that my vMix puts Overlay 1 on (Input 10 - databox, e.g.).

Is there a way to make a script (or some other way that I'm not seeing) that could help me?

Thanks in advanced,
Petar

There is an API which let's you send commands to Vmix on port 8088.
Search in the Manual for API.

you can write a script yourself that when your criteria are met, the command you need is sent to Vmix.
We have done this mulitiple times (using "C" dotnet) and that works perfectly
