Is it possible to change the content of a Mix input using REST or TCP Api?

For example can I change the Preview and the Output selected input from a Mix type input?

Also can I execute Cut/Fade and other transitions?

Thank you in advance.

P.S. Also a small feature request, if it’s possible allow us to select main output as input in a Mix. This could be useful in some situations. I know that I can do that with NDI but it’s heavy.

I found the solution. There is a parameter called MIX. This was a little bit tricky because we can’t select the mix by name, only with order on input list (at first, I thought that you must put Input Name on parameters). But this isn’t problem because we usually put them on positions 1,2,3.

So, if someone set these parameters

it will be executed on Main Mix and it’s equal with this

http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=Fade&Duration=1000

But if someone execute this
Quote:
http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=Fade&Duration=1000&MIX=1

It will be executed on 1st Mix into the input mix. We can add up to 3 Mix inputs so if we set MIX=2, MIX=3 it will executed on 2nd and 3rd Mix on list. We can’t execute everything but the basic are enough.

For example, these parameters,

http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=PreviewInput&Input=CAMERA&MIX=1

set input with name CAMERA on 1st Mix in input list.

Of course, we can use the same parameter on TCP API (as I do)
