Question / Help Help in controlling PTZ camera with OBS Ubuntu version...

[PopisDad]

I am new to the forum, so apologies if this is a repeat question.

We are wanting to use a small NUC i7 PC running Ubuntu and OBS with a PTZ Optics PTZ camera connected via an HDMI to USB 3.0 Dongle and to stream the content to the internet.
Is there a solution with this setup to control the PTZ?

Thanks for any assistance.

I am also looking for a solution.

Look at the PTZOptics site for https://ptzoptics.com/open-source-control-software/

These are browser based scripts. I'm just about to test mine out. Good Luck.

i am able to do this with my NUC i7 and PTZOptica SDI 2d gen 30x on Ubuntu by:

1. Installing WINE
2. Installing “PlayOnLinux”
3. Installing the windows version of the camera control app onto the PlayOnLinux emulated windows platform
4. With OBS Open, you can also open the Camera app from PlayOnLinux and it looks and feels very close to the set up I use in a windows PC.

good luck. Let us know how you make out.
