Hello!
We have a system with 3 ptz cameras that we control with a ptz controller via NDI.
We also use vmix in our production.
Is there any way to get the current camera to end up in the preview box in vmix when you select e.g. camera 1 on ptz controller.
As it is now, you can select the camera on the ptz controller and then click on the camera in the preview box in vmix via the computer.
Would be good to avoid it.
Understand if it doesn't work as they are two separate systems.
Thanks!

Hi,

this needs some external integration and is probably not available directly from vMix. First, what kind of PTZ controller are you using? Second, is there a way to read from another software the "current cam" in the PTZ controller? If yes, which interface/protocol is necessary to get this information?

If we know this, there might be a way with some small software tool.

Please find out some more details.

Br,

Christian

Hello!
The Ptz controller has the brand FoMaKo.
The Ptz cameras are branded smtav.
Everything is connected via NDI
All cameras and the controller have different IP addresses.
Maybe you can pick it up somehow.
Don't know much more than that.
