Imagine LRC Matrix Control Software BETA
Control for Imagine Communications matrices using the LRC protocol over TCP.
Handlers run inside Fantago — the file is a plugin, not a standalone program. Start with the free 60-day trial.
How to connect Imagine LRC Matrix to Fantago
- Open the Fantago Dashboard and click Add Device.
- Pick the Imagine LRC Matrix handler from the device type list (internal id
imagine_lrc). - Enter the IP address of your Imagine LRC Matrix, then set protocol TCP and port
52116. - 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.
| Protocol | TCP |

Description & Instruction
Setup: Port 52116, Terminator none (protocol uses ~ and \\ flags).
Command Integration Guide
This guide explains how to send specific commands to the Imagine Communications LRC Matrix handler.
Generic Command Format (LRC Protocol over TCP):
The handler expects LRC protocol strings, which are wrapped with '~' and '\\' flags.
~XPOINT:S# {1};D# {2}\\(Route Source 1 to Destination 2)~XPOINT:S$ {Input 1};D$ {Output 2}\\(Route Source "Input 1" to Destination "Output 2")~XSALVO:ID# {1}\\(Execute Salvo 1)~LOCK:D# {1};V${ON}\\(Lock Destination 1)
Integration Examples (assuming device name "IMAGINE_LRC"):
Via HTTP GET:
Due to the specific protocol flags and argument types, direct HTTP GET with URL encoding can be complex. It is recommended to use the Fantago UI actions or TCP/UDP listeners.
Example (concept): http://<FantaGo_IP>:<HTTP_PORT>/sendTo/IMAGINE_LRC?cmd=~XPOINT:S%23%7B1%7D;D%23%7B2%7D%5C (URL-encode the string)
Via TCP/UDP Listener:
IMAGINE_LRC:~XPOINT:S# {1};D# {2}\\
Note: Correct encoding of special characters (like '#', '$', '{', '}', '~', '\\') is critical.
Imagine LRC Matrix control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support Imagine LRC Matrix?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made Imagine LRC Matrix handler (version 1.0.1) that talks to the device over TCP, default port 52116. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the Imagine LRC Matrix handler use?
TCP, default port 52116. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control Imagine LRC Matrix from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every Imagine LRC Matrix 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 Imagine LRC Matrix handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (imagine_lrc.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 Imagine LRC Matrix from a single interface
Fantago drives Imagine LRC Matrix 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.
