In LS and KL stations with 2.7 FW version and above, it is possible to control your source connected via RTSP by using VISCA over IP protocol. VISCA is a popular control protocol developed by Sony, and it is used by many PTZ camera brands, such as PTZOptics, Everet, Avonic, and others. Setting this PTZ control is very straightforward - first, select your video source signal type to be “Encoder”, type the RTSP link for your camera below, and then click on the “PTZ control” menu.
