From the help files:
"vMix currently supports the following types of PTZ cameras:
PTZ Optics cameras and and other cameras that support the VISCA over UDP protocol such as ValueHD.
Panasonic PTZ cameras that support CGI control over Ethernet including the AW-HE40, 50, 60, 65, 70, 120 and 130 series
Sony PTZ cameras that support CGI control other Ethernet including the SRG-300 series.
It is important to note that for simplicity and ease of use, only PTZ cameras that support network control are supported.
Cameras that only have serial control such as via the VISCA or Pelco RS-422 or RS-232 protocols are not currently supported."
JVC camera support may be available at some stage but has not been announced AFAIK

The control of the JVC PY-KZ100 is possible from vmix.
Even though these products have fewer features than PTZoptics products, Vmix can control them.
To do this you have to set the dip switches that are under the camera and put the dip on the left dip 2 to on position and restart the camera. After the restart the camera is the standard Visca Sony, just choose in the vmix control sony visca ip to drive the camera. Be careful that the camera no longer responds to the JVC RLP-100.
Good work everyone

In a word... nope ... vmix doesn't seem to have any answers to the JVC PTZ camera question that I can find on this forum that actually works! Hope one day soon to be proved wrong. Currently using Skarrhoj as a solution but would prefer to keep control of the cameras via the touch screen interface.

Now that Polycom MPTZ cameras are very very cheap on eBay ($30-50 USD) I got interested and did some RE work by using a DB9 M/F RS-232 Breakout Tester to capture the communication between the camera and Polycom codec. Since they are just rebadged JVC cameras it's very likely that this code will also work on JVC PTZ cameras with a serial interface. Unfortunately, I don't own a proper JVC PTZ camera to test on. Feel free to use it or even better contribute! It would be great to have a VISCA to MPTZ/JVC bridge on Arduino. GitHub Repo--- In case something happens to GitHub the high level overview is: use 9600 8-E-1 and know the camera will send 0xE0 on power-on until 0x81 0x40 is sent. Movement is possible using commands built to this basic spec, there are other ways to move the camera but these work too. Quote:84 # start
43 # move
XX # move how? 02 = zoom, 04 = pan, 05 = tilt
XX # MSB (big stepping)
# Pan 00 = leftmost - 0f = rightmost (from camera's perspective)
# Tilt 01 = down 02 = up
# Zoom 01 = near - 11 = far
XX # LSB (little stepping)
# Pan 00 - cf
# Tilt 00 - ff
# Zoom 00 - ff
Examples: Quote:84 43 02 00 00 # Zoom to nearest
84 43 04 06 c0 # Pan to center
84 43 05 02 00 # Tilt to center
