Factory Reset Sony SRG X120 X400 Camera

 Get a paper clip

Stick it in the hole for at least FIVE seconds where #11 indicates.

The camera will do a quick reset and you can logon with

admin / Admin_1234

Some autohotkey commands

 Some commands that I fought with but finally was able to make work.

Send key "F2" to a window that might not be active without stealing focus from the active window

In this example, i wanted to first get the actual windows title associated to the executable.

processName := "vMix64.exe"

if (WinExist("ahk_exe " . processName)){

WinGetTitle, title, ahk_exe %processName%

} 

ControlSend,, {F2},%title%

Sony SRG Visca Control via OBS

 Here's a quick and dirty how to make Visca over IP work on a Sony XRG series camera.

The plugin i'm using to test with OBS is PTZ Controls v0.15.4

Install that for your OBS

Then launch it.

Click on the GEAR icon in the lower left corner

Click on the + icon in the lower left corner and select "VISCA (UDP)"

In the IP address enter in the IP of your camera and then enter 52381 as the port.  Click APPLY

Go back to the PTZ control and you should now be able to use the arrows to move your camera.

Grandstream GXW4216 GXW42XX on Asterisk (FreePBX)

In FreePBX create an SIP extension (I'm using SIP, not PJSIP)

Create an extension, give it the display and CID values you want.  The rest can remain as default.
Save / apply your changes.

(Screen shot of the advanced page, its default settings)

Go into your Grandstream GXW42XX 

Go to FXS PORTS -> Port Settings -> FXS X-X

Put in your Extension (s) information

(password will paste, but will show empty after you press Save and Apply

Now go to "PROFILES" (i'm using "Profiles 1" -> General Settings

I'm using a generic Asterisk FreePBX box, using SIP (not PJSIP)

Set the Profile Active to "YES"
SIP server is the IP/FQDN of your asterisk box with the :5061 at the end

Save and Apply the changes.

That really should be it.  I didn't change anything else for it to register and work.

QLC+ Information

Custom Fixture location Windows

 C:\Users\USERNAME\QLC+\Fixtures

Start QLC with web controller: 

add --web to the target name.

Default port for the web client is 9999

Activate DMX based on clock time of day

Set a clock timer in QLC+ that, at a given time, triggers a sequence which lasts X amount of time.

EXAMPLE:

At 8:30AM power up the DMX lights, then leave them powered up for 5 hours, at which time, they will turn off.

You can do this with QLC+ (free) some junk laptop (windows/mac) and likely a $25 USB/DMX adapter.

You can set QLC to launch/run automatically minimized. Assuming computer is on the network, you can use a phone/tablet/computer to remotely turn the lights off/on or other DMX type functions.

1 - Add a DMX fixture in QLC

2 - Create a sequence

3 - Create a clock sequence

4- start the app

5 - Modify the startup of QLC to run this all automatically
