Lynx Technik has expanded the flexibility of its LynxCentraal control platform with Elgato Stream Deck compatibility, providing a powerful and cost-effective hardware interface for rapid control, and automation of LynxCentraal-managed systems.
By leveraging the Lynx RemoteIF protocol, Stream Deck buttons can execute predefined control commands to adjust settings within LynxCentraal. This provides operators with a fast and intuitive way to control frequently used functions, automate workflows, and simplify operational tasks in broadcast and professional AV environments.
On Windows, create a simple batch (.bat) file that sends Lynx RemoteIF commands to the LynxCentraal server using ncat. The batch file references a corresponding .dat file containing the RemoteIF command structure and parameter assignment. Once created, the .bat file can be assigned to any Stream Deck button using the Stream Deck software.
In the example below, pressing the Stream Deck button associated with the SourceOpt.bat set the SourceInput1 parameter of device (IP 6.17.0.6) on the LynxCentraal server (IP 172.100.1.64) to optical.
