PTZOptics Stream Deck Set Up Video

In this video, we will demonstrate how to set up an Elgato Stream Deck as a live streaming control surface for your favorite live streaming software and PTZ camera controls for PTZOptics cameras. Once you have unboxed your StreamDeck, go ahead and plug it into your computer which will provide the unit with power and connectivity. Your computer should recognize the USB connection almost immediately. The StreamDeck should light up showing you that everything is working. You are almost ready to go!

Now you need to download the latest software to setup your StreamDeck at, [ Ссылка ].

Note: If you are planning to use your StreamDeck to control OBS, make sure that you have OBS already installed. The StreamDeck control panel installs a plugin for OBS when it downloads. It will not load properly if OBS is installed after you install the StreamDeck control panel.

Once you have downloaded the software for either Mac or Windows you can go ahead and launch the program. You are now ready to program your stream deck.

On the bottom right corner, there is a button for more actions. This is where you can install custom action such as a CPU usage monitor, an analog clock and support for 3rd party streaming software such as vMix. Support for OBS, Mixer, StreamLabs, Twitch, Twitter, xSplit, and YouTube are built in by default.

You can add commands to your stream deck by dragging and dropping the commands you would like to appear on your StreamDeck to the buttons represented in this application. For each button, you should see that you can customize the name of the button. You will also be presented with options for configuration.

The physical device will show your changes as you are making them. A unique feature for the StreamDeck allows users to create profiles that allow you to open up new sets of buttons. For example, you can have a home profile and then you can have a profile for each PTZOptics camera in your studio or each social media platform you would like to control. You can add website shortcuts, application shortcuts, camera controls, audio buttons, and much more.

For this example, we will create a unique profile for a PTZOptics camera in our studio. You can also automate your live streaming software such as vMix, xSplit, and OBS. For this example, we will also demonstrate how you can use Open Broadcaster Software. You can control your PTZOptics camera directly inside OBS or you can create custom buttons to call PTZ camera presets.

Let’s start by setting up OBS. Go ahead and create a scene for each PTZOptics camera with that we want to use with a built-in camera preset command. We will use a web browser input to automatically control our PTZ cameras when we switch to our OBS scenes.

Start by opening up OBS and adding a scene for your first camera. Add your camera source and a browser source. Inside the browser, the source uses the HTTP command for calling a camera preset. Set up your camera preset in the location you would like the camera to be at in this OBS scene. Don’t forget to click the “Refresh Browser when the scene becomes active” button to make sure OBS sends the PTZOptics camera a preset command every time you switch to this input. You can now duplicate this scene and change the HTTP command to represent a new camera PTZ preset.
