Describe the feature
Integrate USB control of Hive Industries Soft Countdown Control along with Indicator Light control

Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)?
No

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?
If applicable, add screenshots, protocol description PDFs, etc to help the developers along

Usecases
Would allow integration of HIVE Timing systems, indicator lamps and traffic lights

These switchers have become extremely popular in the Live video world, because they are great as both a small production switcher and a multi-destination screen switcher. They have a fantastic little web server in them as well, though I don't know if that would enable html commands or maybe webhooks or something like that.

Currently, there is no documentation by For-A for any other IP-based control of these switcher; so I have asked them to please provide it, or release a firmware update enabling such control. Would love to see what more technical people than myself are able to find out, and I will also re-post with any information I receive from For-A.

Describe the feature
Basically the same function as the GrandMA module, but for ETC EOS lighting consoles. Ability to send predetermined commands would essentially allow full operation of the board, just like the GrandMA module.

Assign Input "POST" Commands via JSON to set the current active Datapath FX4 Input. E.G. HDMI, HDMI 2, DisplayPort.

Describe the feature
A clear and concise description of what the feature does.

Send a JSON POST command via HTTP web client over a network to a Datapath FX4.
Recall PreferredInput.cgx from Streamdeck buttons.
Have three inputs active on the FX4 to be recalled from three buttons on Streamdeck
One button command per FX4 Input port.

Other Useful commands might be:

RebootDevice.cgx

Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)?

Datapath REST-API can be found here: https://www.datapath.co.uk/datapath-current-downloads/display-controller-downloads/sdks-9/494-fx4-sdi-fx4-rest-api-v2-1-0

Here is an example of using POST to send a command to change the Preferred Input to 2 on FX4-Device connetcd to IP: 10.0.0.104 using the Mozilla REST-CLIENT web browser client.

and then to change to Input 1.

Usecases
Add a couple of usecases for why this should be implemented and when/why to use it.

Where users want to have a physical button to change Inputs instead of using a GUI window and mouse.
Permanently installed systems where this already a control PC or a small computer such as a RPi could be running. Technicians can then change Inputs on multiple FX4 devices for testing purposes qyuickly and easily. Inputs can be labelled appropriately.

Although the FX4 is designed or intended to be used a a show switcher, there may be circumstances where a physical button is more useful or convenient than using the software setup application controls.

A module for easily sending strings over tcp or udp.

It should have option for closing tcp connections for each action, or if it should keep it alive.

String input should have support for escape tags like \x00 etc, for mimicking binary protocols.

Describe the feature
I know you dont like generic modules, but being able to control BSS soundweb devices needs the ability for free tcp strings. Thats because the programming of a BSS is always unique and wont be able to be modulized.

Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)?
No

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?
Not needed.

Usecases
BSS Soundweb

Describe the feature

Controlling the SmartQuad Series like the other AnalogWay products

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?
Documentation can be found here: https://www.analogway.com/emea/products/archived/smart-quad/

Describe the feature
Decimator Designs manufactures a variety of converters, splitters, and multi-viewers for video production. Their products are widely regarded as some of the most capable and reliable in the industry.

Most of Decimator's products are controlled by a single, simple (at least for the user) software program, called UCP (current version 2.0.11). Plug in one of their products via USB, 'scan' for hardware, and the options for your Decimator device are displayed.

It would be amazing if Companion could enable Streamdeck to control the UCP software!

Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)?
I don't believe so - the software is available for Mac & Windows.

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?
Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about coding, so I don't know what might be helpful for the devs. Here's the link to the download page for UCP: http://decimator.com/DOWNLOADS/DOWNLOADS.html

Usecases
The specific use case I envision is with a multi-viewer. Decimator's DMON-QUAD allows customizable presets for multi-view layouts, i.e. having three video inputs displayed one way with another input displayed a different way. The ability to live-switch between these presets using the Streamdeck would be immensely powerful, basically making a super advanced feature only available on very expensive (five figures plus) replicable with something like a basic BMD ATEM, a computer, and a Streamdeck.

This is far from the only use case, though. Decimator makes their products very configurable, so control commands could be created to do all sorts of things depending on the product.

Thank you guys for all you do!

It would be great to have a module to integrate to Softron Movie Recorder and OntheAir to be able to trigger records and playback.
An API is available for both programs

Thank you!

The ability to control the FOR-A HVS 390 via the Editor RS-422 port.
You need to buy the EDITOR option as a firmware upgrade at FORA.

You would also need a generic Ethernet to RS422 converter.

This request is coming via the ProPresenter forums. One of our users requested support for TCP, but it would be a long time coming, if ever. Since it's possible to trigger Companion indirectly with MIDI, I'd rather see the module here and then help him control Companion.

He provided a link to a Python script that works: https://github.com/UbiCastTeam/kramer-python-control/blob/master/kramer_switch.py

This switcher uses the Protocol 2000. https://k.kramerav.com/downloads/protocols/protocol_2000_rev0_51.pdf

Remote control of Elation/Onyx/Obsidian Control Software/Consoles.

Control of Windows PC Software, and consoles.

http://support.obsidiancontrol.com/Content/Networking/Onyx_Remote.htm
http://support.obsidiancontrol.com/Content/Networking/OSC.htm

Not sure what would be the best way, as there is remote control app for iOS, and can obviously take OSC commands as well.

Would be cool to add another lighting console to continue the ever growing range of supported software/consoles we can control using Companion.

Describe the feature

Hi From Australia,

I would like to make a module request for the Allen & Heath iLive series and GLD series.

The TCP Control protocol is documented here:
iLive : https://www.allen-heath.com/media/iLive-TCPIP-Protocol-V1.9.pdf
GLD : http://www.allen-heath.com/media/GLD-MIDI-and-TCPIP-Protocol-V1.4_2.pdf

There is a great similarity in the protocols.

I am happy to try and learn how to program the modules myself if that can be of any assistance?
Is there somewhere where I can read how to program and install custom modules?

Kindest Regards,
Adrian

I would like to request a module for Green-Hippo Hippotizer.

Usecases
Cuety can store up to 64 light states in its memory. being able to sync those lighting events with video or audio one would be great.

Describe the feature
We need a way to control our Analog Way Eventix video switcher through the Companion App. We have a need to fire certain cues on this switcher at the same time as firing on a BlackMagic ATEM.

Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)?
No

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?
https://www.analogway.com/files/uploads/produit/download/en/evx-ctx8022-ed-07-05-fra+eng_presse.pdf

Usecases
This switcher is controlled mostly via commands over port 10500. We need to be able to control this switcher along with a BMagic ATEM.

We are using TeamSpeak via LAN/Internet during some broadcast productions.
So I tried to set the "push to talk" button in companion - but without success.

So it would be great to have some standard functions integrated:

• push-to-talk button
• switching to previous/next or pre-defined chat-groups

Describe the feature

MadMapper is one of the leading projection mapping software. It supports MIDI, DMX, OSC, and other protocols. OSC is bidirectional via ports 8000 and 8001 by default. But MadMapper comes with OSC settings that Companion cannot receive, like button states, ranges, etc. via the Generic OSC module. The main goal would be that the MadMapper "Learn" mode could work directly (and bidirectionally) with Bitfocus Companion.

Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)?

MadMapper runs on Windows and Mac currently.

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?

In this video you can see MadMapper working with Touch OSC, the same way it would be expected with Companion.

Usecases

• Live performances.
• Controls: quad (layer) visibility (toggle or hold), play/stop medias, etc.

Could we get AppleScript running.

Would be great to get iTunes controlled?

Describe the feature

Explain

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?
i support the documents I get by the former manufacturer

Usecases
Add a couple of usecases for why this should be implemented and when/why to use it.

Describe the feature
I use Combiwave to play audio for live events. I need to be able to trigger multiple machines running combiwave. As a basic feature Combiwave uses the keyboard as hotkeys to play the relevant audio track so I need to send keyboard commands over TCP to the windows machines.
In particular the return key is play, space bar is stop and up and down arrows select the audio. That is in addition to the full keyboard and numbers.
As a more advance feature it would be good to be able to control features such as simultaneous play, loop, play next, and be able to select audio outs
Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)?
Windows
If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?
If applicable, add screenshots, protocol description PDFs, etc to help the developers along

Usecases
Add a couple of usecases for why this should be implemented and when/why to use it.
Many pro sound engineers use combiwave (those that dont like macs!) and run a main and backup laptop. This would enable the backup to be a true hot back up
This would also be a massive improvement in the general cueing of audio as the stream deck can be closer to hand and the sound desk making life a lot better.
it would make it possible to control different machines running in different locations from 1 single place. eg, when running BGM in different locations, VOGs can be triggered.

Many thanks.

Describe the feature
Module to control media server "Pixera" and "Wings" by company AV Stumpfl
Pixera is the new software being released this month replacing the older Wings software

Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)?
Pixera and wings runs on a cut down version of windows.

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?
I am struggling to get a working user manual at the moment. I did see in the software that there is UDP control support but help files on the server are missing. (thanks AV Stumpfl). I will ask them to send me documentation and I will forward it through when it comes.

Usecases
Pixera and Wings don't have a control surface at all, so using companion would be great to trigger cue points, pause, play etc.

Switching between presets

Describe the feature
I would like to control Blackmagic Media Express to start and end the capture.
Also, it would be great if I can "up and down" the additional information such as Reel, scene, takes. It would be an extra to control which audio is selected in the log and capture tab.

Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)?
This plateform is on MAC and Windows

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it?
If applicable, add screenshots, protocol description PDFs, etc to help the developers along

Usecases
I would use it to save time to rename my recordings before capturing. I'm filming figure skating and I could use the stream deck on my camera to save time and space during competitions. Usually I have to start recording minutes before it starts because I cannot look through my viewfinder andmy laptop to start the capture. This update will save me tone of space on my hard drives by saving time.

Basic Mute functionality requested for StudioLive rack mixers. PreSonus has no API as far as I can tell, but they publish several iOS apps that could be combed for web commands, I suppose.

Not platform specific.

Media Server operators may use a small rack mixer to mute and unmute/monitor audio feeds from several different servers. The StudioLive series are small and inexpensive.
