Use Streamdeck Companion!

Get rid of the native stream deck software and install Bitfocus Companion. It is much more flexible and powerful and comes with its own module for controlling Aximmetry via HTTP.

https://bitfocus.io/companion

One thing to be aware of is that it currently does not automatically list the module contents down to the actual action level. You need to enter the path manually (e.g. Root\VirtualCam_3-Cam\CAMERAS\SELECT CAMERA)   and then also specify the name of the control element (e.g. CAM 1) in the "button" field.

Hi,

If you do not want to follow the previous recommendation of using Bitfocus Companion, note that there is an Aximmetry plugin for Stream Deck. This plugin features dual-color buttons. You can find more information here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/setting-up-inputs-outputs-for-virtual-production/external-controllers/using-elgato-stream-deck-to-control-a-scene/

Warmest regards,

Hi, i have try and use dual color buttons in aximmetry plugins, but as i understand for the trigger it only press the button and release not like toggle so the button only flash the light not keep the light on. I will try Bitfocus companion. Thank you for your suggestion.

Hi,

I misunderstood you a bit.
The easiest solution would be to use a logical data type instead of a trigger data type. This way, you can have an On/Off button. Then the On and Off states will also be reflected in Aximmetry:

Note that you can easily convert the logical data type into a trigger. For example, you can connect directly from a logical pin to the trigger pin, which will produce a trigger each time you turn on the logical button:

If you want a trigger even when it is turned to Off state, then you can use the Delta module's Changed pin to achieve this:

Hi, Eifert

Perfect ! That's what i have think about but i can't find the way. I wish in the manual will have more details about all the magical module in Aximmetry. 

Thanks and Best Regards
