Sony Camera Control Macro

This is an example macro which lets you control a Sony camera via CGI HTTP Commands using a UI Extension panel on a RoomOS Device.

Overview

This macro communicates with Sony cameras that commands set via CGI and has support for the following features;

  • Command to Auto UI Extension Generation:

    This builds its UI Extension panel controls based on the CGI Commands and Parameter you want it to control. Simply define the CGI Command Parameters, Set/Inq Paths and Values and the macro will generate the UI Extension itself.

    {
  name: 'PtzAutoFramingAutoStartEnable',      // Row Name
  parameter: 'PtzAutoFramingAutoStartEnable', // CGI Command Parameter
  cgi: {
    Set: 'analytics/ptzautoframing.cgi',      // CGI Command Settings (Set) Path
    Inq: 'command/inquiry.cgi'                // CGI Command Inquiry (Inq) Path
  },
  values: [                                   // Array of CGI Command Parameter Names and Values
    {
      name: 'On',                             // Text which will be displayed on the UI Extension 
      value: 'on'                             // CGI Command Parameter value
    },
    {
    name: 'Off',                              // Text which will be displayed on the UI Extension 
      value: 'off'                            // CGI Command Parameter value
    }
  ]
}

  • UI State Synchronization:

    When the macro first starts, it will query the Cameras settings based on the configured CGI Commands and Parameters and will update the UI Extension Values.

  • HTTP Digest Authentication:

    CGI HTTP Commands on Sony cameras require HTTP Digest for Authentication. This macro features a custom HTTP Digest Authentication wrapped around the HTTP Client xAPI commands.

    Warning: This implementation hasn't been fully tested and isn't guaranteed to work without issue.

Setup

Prerequisites & Dependencies:

  • Codec EQ or Codec Pro with RoomOS 11.x or above
  • Web admin access to the device to upload the macro
