Stream Deck Plugin
The Elgato Stream Deck plugin allows you to trigger various Viz Arc actions and shortcuts, such as Action Execution, Playlist control and much more.
Installation
To use the Stream Deck plugin, download the Stream Deck for Windows software from here. The software does not necessarily need to be installed on the same machine as Viz Arc.
-
Browse for the Viz Arc plugin contained in the file com.vizrt.arc.streamDeckPlugin , which can be found in C:\ProgramData\vizrt\VizArc\Resources\StreamDeck after the Viz Arc installation .
-
Double click the file for installation. The Streamdeck application should show a prompt asking to confirm the installation.
-
After the installation, you should see under the Viz Arc section the newly available actions.
Configuration
To configure the Viz Arc host(s), start to drag the Execute Action to any of the free Stream Deck keys.
Click on the Open Settings button, if it does not open automatically to configure your Viz Arc In-App Web API and REST Web Api endpoints.
-
In-App Web API: Defines the endpoint where the Viz Arc application is running (the default is http://localhost:5004).
-
REST Web API: Defines the endpoint of the Viz Arc REST Web API. It is only required when using the Execute REST Action. The default is http://localhost:9004.
Info: These Viz Arc endpoints can be configured under the Communication settings.
Internal vs. External Stream Deck Control
Please note that Viz Arc supports two ways on how to use a Stream Deck device.
-
Use the native integration, only available prior to version 1.9 which can be configured here.
-
Use the external integration using Elgato's Stream Deck desktop software, which is described in this section.
It is not recommended to use both integrations at the same time for a device, as there might be unexpected behavior.
Warning: Make sure the device you want to use with the external plugin is unchecked in the configuration.
