This is a tally system based on an esp8266 (Wemos D1 mini) and the vMix TCP API. It can convert VISCA UDP Control Signals to VISCA over serial. It is tested on a cisco PHD1080p12x camera.
To use it as tally you need a Wemos D1 mini board and a Wemos D1 mini RGB shield.
For using the converter function you need the shield, see folder shield.
