Web or TCP API for RC-IP100

caleblanchard — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 20:54:16 GMT

Is there a web api or a way to control the RC-IP100 via TCP/UDP? What I want to be able to do is change the currently selected camera remotely. My end goal is to use Bitfocus Companion to program a button on a stream deck to set the input preview on on video switcher and also set the currently selected camera on the RC-IP100.

I am using three CR-N500's and one CR-N300. To clarify, I am not looking to change any settings on the camera's themselves. I am looking for a programatic way to change which camera is currently selected in the controller.

Hello, I am also reaching out if there is a web or tcp api available or if one can be created for the rc-ip100 to remotely change the selected camera on the controller.
