INOGENI

PTZOptics Voice Tracking supports two INOGENI switchers:

• INOGENI CAM230
• INOGENI IP2USB

The INOGENI CAM230 is a hardware USB/IP capture and switching device that supports a REST API for automated input switching.

The INOGENI IP2USB is a hardware IP-to-USB bridge and switching device that connects network and USB cameras to conferencing systems through a single USB output.

No Username/Password Auth

Voice Tracking does not support username/password authentication with the INOGENI CAM230. Leave the Username and Password fields blank.

Step 1: Get the INOGENI Connection Details

1. Connect the INOGENI CAM230 or IP2USB to your network.
2. Find its IP address from your network's DHCP table or the INOGENI management interface.
3. Note the Port (default: 80) if you are using the CAM230. The IP2USB setup does not require a port number.

Step 2: Configure the Switcher Connection

In the Voice Tracking configuration menu, click the Switcher tab and select the INOGENI CAM230 or IP2USB as the switcher type.

For a CAM230, configure:

Field	Value
Switcher Type	INOGENI CAM230
IP Address	IP address of the INOGENI CAM230
Port	Communication port (default: 80)

For an IP2USB, configure:

Field	Value
Switcher Type	INOGENI IP2USB
IP Address	IP address of the INOGENI IP2USB
Auth Token	Optional authentication token

INOGENI IP2USB

For details about obtaining and using the Auth Token, refer to the INOGENI IP2USB documentation.

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:

1. Click a zone header on the zone map.
2. In addition to the Camera and Preset dropdowns, a Switcher Source field is available.
3. 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	Check CAM230 IP/port or IP2USB IP/token and switcher availability.
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	CAM230 username/password entered	Clear the CAM230 Username and Password fields.
Cuts happen with wrong camera	Zone-to-source mapping incorrect	Recheck zone assignments and input/scene numbers.
Switcher connects but immediately disconnects	Firewall blocking the port	Allow the configured port between the camera and switcher through the firewall.

Next Steps

With the switcher connected, return to Zone Configuration to assign switcher sources to each zone.
