Feature Request: Send Camera Action - Absolute Iris/white balance/ other variable change #8

Hi All,
Have been playing with the MiddleThings Control Companion module a bit for a project I have coming up; We are planning to control some Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras with some APC-Rs that will be connected to a wireless network.

Currently I can control the Iris/White Balance/Shutter via increments such as "ISO Increase" and "ISO Decrease". I'm guessing this is a limitation of the actual MiddleThings software, but it would be really helpful if I could send absolute values such as "ISO 600" which means when I'm managing multiple cameras and change shots I can just hit a button that resets all camera's ISO to 600.

Has anyone on the development team looked into a function like this?

When controlling APC-R's via Blackmagic ATEMs it seems you can dial in exact ISO numbers via the ATEM and camera receives those values, so there is some degree of support for this in the middleThings tool. But this may be limited to the ATEM-MiddleThigns system and not whatever API this Companion module use.

Thanks :)
