AJA HELO Control Software
Control for AJA HELO Recorder/Streamer.
Handlers run inside Fantago — the file is a plugin, not a standalone program. Start with the free 60-day trial.
How to connect AJA HELO to Fantago
- Open the Fantago Dashboard and click Add Device.
- Pick the AJA HELO handler from the device type list (internal id
aja_helo). - Enter the IP address of your AJA HELO, then set protocol HTTP and port
80. - Save and connect. Fantago starts polling the device and publishes its feedback variables, ready to use in panels, sequences and logic flows.
- Drag the actions below onto a panel button, a Stream Deck key, a schedule or a logic flow node.

Command Integration Guide
This guide explains how to send specific commands to the AJA HELO handler.
Generic Command Format:
The handler communicates via HTTP GET requests to the /config endpoint. Commands are sent as URL parameters.
action=set¶mid=eParamID_ReplicatorCommand&value=1(Start Record)action=set¶mid=eParamID_ReplicatorCommand&value=2(Stop Record)action=set¶mid=eParamID_VideoInSelect&value=0(Set Video Input to SDI)
Integration Examples (assuming device name "AJA_HELO"):
Via HTTP GET:
http://<FantaGo_IP>:<HTTP_PORT>/sendTo/AJA_HELO?cmd=action=set¶mid=eParamID_ReplicatorCommand&value=1
Via TCP/UDP Listener:
AJA_HELO:action=set¶mid=eParamID_ReplicatorCommand&value=1
Remember to URL-encode the command string for HTTP GET requests if it contains special characters.
AJA HELO control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support AJA HELO?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made AJA HELO handler (version 1.0.0) that talks to the device over HTTP, default port 80. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the AJA HELO handler use?
HTTP, default port 80. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control AJA HELO from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every AJA HELO action can be mapped to an Elgato Stream Deck key, to a button on a custom Fantago touch panel, to a timed schedule, or to a logic flow triggered by another device — including devices from a different manufacturer.
Can I modify the AJA HELO handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (aja_helo.js) that you can download from this page, edit and drop back into Fantago. You can also write your own handler from scratch — see the Developer Guide.
Control AJA HELO from a single interface
Fantago drives AJA HELO alongside 50+ other broadcast, lighting, audio and smart home devices — from custom touch panels, an Elgato Stream Deck, a schedule or a logic flow. One-time licence, no subscription, runs offline.
