Casper, got my stream deck up and running with my Canons N500. Thank you! One question that would help out tremendously. How can I modify the "Thumbnail Preset Store and Recall" to only register PTZF and ignore white balance, iris, gain and so forth. The reason being during a show the gain and white balance changes and you would want to disturb those changes as the show is going with presets from an earlier time. It would definitely be helpful to see a video of script modifications in reactor.

Hi Patrick, thanks for asking. I believe the settings to be stored with each preset are some that you can configure in the Web UI of your Canon camera. That would be the easiest unless you want it to be adjustable from your SKAARHOJ controller. But in you case it sounds more like a one-time setup and it's overkill to put that on our controllers. We can do it, just check out the Advanced preset parameters we have implemented: cloud.skaarhoj.com/coremanual/core-canon-xc/pre/1 But I think your first choice is to simply set it in the cameras own UI

@@SKAARHOJ Yes, Thank you! I updated to core-canon-xc, Version: 1.0.5-pre6 and there it was (Preset Store Mode) Uber cool!

Hello Casper, can you confirm, that all new devices with reactor/bluepill Inside do have an USB-A Port to connect additional devices like Streamdeck (through a powered USB Hub)?

[@SKAARHOJ]

No, not all of our products have a USB-Port. Generally, the ones which are in the same enclosure type as Frame Shot Pro they have USB-A on the backside. Other products such as the RCPs, PTZ Fly, Live Fly, Mini Fly, and all our Rack Units they do NOT have USB-A. They have only Micro-USB. However, we are working on a hack which allows us to offer Micro-USB to USB-A on that port as well. It's not confirmed and public yet, but when it is, you can acquire a special cable that allows you to use the same on these ports. Products such as PTZ Wiz, Quick Pad, Micro Fly, ETH-GPI Link, and Tally Box are on the UniSketch platform and won't support USB-A though.

Time to standardize on USB-C please @@SKAARHOJ
