JEwaldt.PtzOptics

A Crestron SIMPL# Pro driver for PTZOptics PTZ cameras over VISCA-over-IP (raw VISCA on a TCP socket, PTZOptics default port 5678). Built for the Move 4K.

Install

dotnet add package JEwaldt.PtzOptics

Use

using JEwaldt.PtzOptics;

var cam = new PtzCamera("192.168.1.90", 5678, address: 1, name: "Sit Room Cam");
cam.Connect();

cam.PanSpeed = 12;              // 1-24
cam.TiltSpeed = 10;            // 1-20
cam.Move(Visca.Direction.UpLeft);   // hold-to-move: drive...
cam.StopMove();                     // ...then stop on button release

cam.ZoomIn(5);                 // speed 0-7
cam.RecallPreset(3);
cam.Home();

Call cam.Dispose() on teardown.

Control surface

  • Pan/tilt — Move(Visca.Direction) (Up/Down/Left/Right + 4 diagonals + Stop) with PanSpeed / TiltSpeed; StopMove(); Home().
  • Zoom — ZoomIn(speed) / ZoomOut(speed) / ZoomStop().
  • Focus — FocusAuto() / FocusManual() / FocusNear(speed) / FocusFar(speed) / FocusStop() / FocusOnePush().
  • Presets — RecallPreset(n) / SavePreset(n) (0–254).
  • Power — PowerOn() / PowerOff() (standby) / PollPower().
  • Raw — SendCommand(params byte[] body) — any VISCA command (header + 0xFF added).

Feedback

PowerIsOn (from PollPower()) and the FeedbackChanged event. PTZ position isn't tracked — control is fire-and-forget by design.

Design notes

  • Hold-to-move: pan/tilt/zoom/focus are start-on-press, stop-on-release. Commands are sent immediately (no reply-gated queue), so movement stays responsive.
  • The TCP transport auto-reconnects every 5 seconds.
  • Standby handling: PowerOff() sends standby, then disconnects cleanly and reconnects after 15 s — PTZOptics cameras drop their TCP server in standby and a rapid reconnect otherwise gets stuck.
  • VISCA acknowledgements are parsed only to log errors and read power state; FeedbackChanged fires on a Crestron worker thread — marshal if a handler touches shared state.
