Axel CGPlus control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support Axel CGPlus?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made Axel CGPlus handler (version 1.0.0) that talks to the device over IP. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the Axel CGPlus handler use?
IP. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control Axel CGPlus from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every Axel CGPlus 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 Axel CGPlus handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (axel_cgplus.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 Axel CGPlus from a single interface
Fantago drives Axel CGPlus 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.
