Description & Instruction
Command Integration Guide
This guide explains how to send specific commands to the OBSBOT Tail Air handler.
Generic Command Format (OSC):
The handler communicates via OSC. Commands are typically sent as OSC addresses with integer arguments.
/OBSBOT/WebCam/General/SetGimbalUp(with integer arg for speed 0-100)/OBSBOT/WebCam/AI/Tracking/Setting(with integer arg 0 for OFF, 1 for ON)/OBSBOT/WebCam/General/RecallPreset(with integer arg for preset number)/OBSBOT/WebCam/General/SetShutterSpeed(with integer arg for shutter speed value)
Integration Examples (assuming device name "OBSBOT_AIR"):
Via HTTP GET:
Due to the structured nature of OSC messages (address + arguments), direct HTTP GET can be complex.
Example (concept): http://<FantaGo_IP>:<HTTP_PORT>/sendTo/OBSBOT_AIR?cmd=/OBSBOT/WebCam/General/SetGimbalUp&arg=50 (URL-encode the address and argument)
Via TCP/UDP Listener:
OBSBOT_AIR:/OBSBOT/WebCam/General/SetGimbalUp 50 (This relies on Fantago parsing the string into OSC arguments).
It is generally recommended to use the UI actions for specific OBSBOT commands for easier configuration.
OBSBOT Tail Air control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support OBSBOT Tail Air?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made OBSBOT Tail Air handler (version 3.6.0) 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 OBSBOT Tail Air 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 OBSBOT Tail Air from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every OBSBOT Tail Air 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 OBSBOT Tail Air handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (obsbot_tail_air.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 OBSBOT Tail Air from a single interface
Fantago drives OBSBOT Tail Air 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.
