Blackmagic Multiview 16 control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support Blackmagic Multiview 16?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made Blackmagic Multiview 16 handler (version 1.0.0) that talks to the device over TCP, default port 9800. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the Blackmagic Multiview 16 handler use?
TCP, default port 9800. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control Blackmagic Multiview 16 from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every Blackmagic Multiview 16 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 Blackmagic Multiview 16 handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (bmd_multiview16.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.
