Module 06
External Studio Automation & TCP Control Protocol
Integrate StreamOps with broadcast television studio automation, vision switchers and physical controllers via low-latency TCP socket protocol (Port 9999).
TCP :9999 · REST · WebSocket
Operational scope
Purpose-built for this media task.
The module remains part of the StreamOps control plane, but the page and visual treatment follow the actual workflow rather than a repeated template.
Dedicated TCP automation server on port 9999 supporting both ASCII plain-text and structured JSON payloads
Supported control commands: START <preset>, STOP <app> <stream>, STOP_ALL, STATUS, PRESETS and PING
Hardware controller compatibility: Elgato Stream Deck (via TCP/WebSocket plugin), Ross Video OverDrive, Grass Valley, Crestron
Comprehensive RESTful HTTP API and WebSocket event bus for real-time status query and telemetry integration
Broadcast-native
Built around signal paths, protocols and operational state.
Governed
Roles and audit controls stay attached to actions.
Observable
System state remains visible across related modules.
