INOGENI
The INOGENI CAM230 is a hardware USB/IP capture and switching device that supports a REST API for automated input switching.
Voice Tracking does not support username/password authentication with the INOGENI CAM230. Leave the Username and Password fields blank.
The setup for the INOGENI IP2USB is identical to the CAM230, as both devices share the same API and connection method. Follow the same steps below to connect either device.
Step 1: Get the INOGENI Connection Details
- Connect the INOGENI CAM230 or IP2USB to your network.
- Find its IP address from your network's DHCP table or the INOGENI management interface.
- Note the Port (default:
80).
Step 2: Configure the Switcher Connection
In the Voice Tracking configuration menu, click the Switcher tab and enter:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Switcher Type | INOGENI CAM230 or IP2USB |
| IP Address | IP address of the INOGENI CAM230 or IP2USB |
| Port | Communication port (default: 80) |
| Auth Token | Authentication token if using INOGENI IP2USB |
Step 3: Start the Switcher
Click Start Switcher. A success message will confirm the connection is active.
Stopping the Switcher
To disconnect from the switcher at any time:
- Click Stop Switcher in the Voice Tracking toolbar (the same button used to start it).
- The switcher connection will close immediately.
- The microphone connection remains active unless you also click Stop Microphone.
Zone-to-Source Mapping
After the switcher is connected, map each zone to the correct switcher source:
- Click a zone header on the zone map.
- In addition to the Camera and Preset dropdowns, a Switcher Source field is available.
- Select the input/scene number that corresponds to the camera covering that zone.
For multi-camera setups where multiple zones share one camera, assign the same switcher source to each zone within that camera's field of view.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Start Switcher fails immediately | Wrong IP, port, or credentials | Verify connection settings; confirm switcher is running and reachable |
| Zones activate but no cuts happen | Switcher connected but sources not mapped | Verify zone-to-source assignments in the zone map |
| INOGENI cuts not happening | Credentials entered (should be blank) | Clear Username and Password fields |
| Cuts happen with wrong camera | Zone-to-source mapping incorrect | Re-check zone assignments and verify input/scene numbers |
| Switcher connects but immediately disconnects | Firewall blocking the port | Verify firewall allows traffic on the configured port between the camera and switcher |
Next Steps
With the switcher connected, return to Zone Configuration to assign switcher sources to each zone.
