Canon XC Protocol for C70, C300 Mkiii, C500 Mkii #2

Closed mlcook19 closed 2 years ago

mlcook19 commented 2 years ago

Hey, I have seen that people have had luck with the Canon XF Line of cameras, however that module doesn't work with the cinema line of cameras where they have recently added the XC protocol.

I would be happy to help with the development in any way that I can, however I am not experienced enough to develop this on my own.

Here are links to documentation:

There is a canon-ptz module being actively developed that could also easily be adapted to support those models. It may even already support them using the "other" type included in the module. I will transfer this to that repo and you can follow the progress there.

This new canon-ptz module uses the XC protocol. Can you try it out and see how it fares with your devices?
