This document provides guidance on using HTTP commands to control an encoder, including adjusting PGM layout, selecting video sources, starting/stopping streaming and recording, configuring encoding parameters, and managing network settings. The commands are formatted in JSON and can be sent using the curl tool. It includes instructions on obtaining a session ID, modifying parameters, and executing command scripts for seamless control of the encoder.
The HTTP control protocol allows users to remotely operate devices, such as cameras, through simple web-based commands. By sending HTTP requests, users can control functions like pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and presets without additional software. This protocol enables seamless integration into networked systems, making it an efficient and flexible solution for managing devices in broadcast, streaming, and production environments.
