Ross Video RossTalk Control Software BETA
Control for Ross Video devices using the RossTalk 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 Ross Video RossTalk to Fantago
- Open the Fantago Dashboard and click Add Device.
- Pick the RossTalk (Ross Video) handler from the device type list (internal id
ross_rosstalk). - Enter the IP address of your Ross Video RossTalk, then set protocol TCP and port
7788. - 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.

Ross Video RossTalk control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support Ross Video RossTalk?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made RossTalk (Ross Video) handler (version 1.0.1) that talks to the device over TCP, default port 7788. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the Ross Video RossTalk handler use?
TCP, default port 7788. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control Ross Video RossTalk from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every Ross Video RossTalk 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 Ross Video RossTalk handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (ross_rosstalk.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 Ross Video RossTalk from a single interface
Fantago drives Ross Video RossTalk 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.
