Handlers run inside Fantago — the file is a plugin, not a standalone program. Start with the free 60-day trial.
How to connect PJLink Projector to Fantago
- Open the Fantago Dashboard and click Add Device.
- Pick the PJLink Projector handler from the device type list (internal id
pjlink_projector). - Enter the IP address of your PJLink Projector, then set protocol TCP and port
4352. - 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.

Command Integration Guide
PJLink is an open standard (JBMIA) for controlling projectors via TCP/IP on port 4352. This handler implements PJLink Class 1 with no authentication (PJLINK 0).
Key Actions:
- power_on — Power on the projector
- power_off — Put projector in standby
- mute_av / unmute_av — Toggle AV mute (blank screen + audio mute)
- set_input — Switch active input (param:
source) - get_status — Refresh power, input and error variables
Integration Examples (assuming device name "PROJECTOR"):
Via HTTP GET:
http://<Fantago_IP>:3001/sendTo/PROJECTOR?cmd=power_on
http://<Fantago_IP>:3001/sendTo/PROJECTOR?cmd=set_input&source=DRGB1
http://<Fantago_IP>:3001/sendTo/PROJECTOR?cmd=mute_av
Via TCP/UDP Listener:
PROJECTOR:power_on
PROJECTOR:power_off
PROJECTOR:set_input source=DRGB1
PROJECTOR:unmute_av
Feedback Variables (assuming device name "PROJECTOR"):
projector_power — ON / STANDBY / COOLING / WARMING
projector_input — current active input label (e.g. "Digital 1")
projector_errors — OK / WARNING / ERROR
PJLink Projector control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support PJLink Projector?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made PJLink Projector handler (version 1.1.3) that talks to the device over TCP, default port 4352. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the PJLink Projector handler use?
TCP, default port 4352. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control PJLink Projector from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every PJLink Projector 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 PJLink Projector handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (pjlink_projector.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 PJLink Projector from a single interface
Fantago drives PJLink Projector 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.
