Axel XRadio control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support Axel XRadio?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made Axel XRadio 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 XRadio 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 XRadio from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every Axel XRadio 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 XRadio handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (axel_xradio.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 XRadio from a single interface
Fantago drives Axel XRadio 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.
