1. Remote Control

  1. Enable the switch (18.1.1) in the "Capture-Remote" section of the Data Catting Pane to activate the remote control function. The port is the listening port for XINGYING to receive control commands, with a default value of 7060. If this port is occupied by other programs in the system, please allocate another suitable port for XINGYING to use. If you need to set this port, please disable the remote control function first, and then enable it again after completing the modifications.

  2. After enabling remote control, connect a camera. Once the connection is completed, remote commands can be used to control the recording.

  3. The remote control commands currently supported by XINGYING are in XML file format.

    • Start notification

    • Stop notification


Start notification

  1. The following example shows the start notification. Note that the broadcast must be suitable for a UDP packet.

  2. The indentation in the following example is for clarity: the actual data packet is not indented. The blank spaces between the tags have been removed.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<CaptureStart>
<Name VALUE="Remotetake01"/>
<SessionName VALUE="SessionName" />
<Notes VALUE="Take notes if any"/>
< Delay VALUE="Reserved" />
<Description VALUE="" />
<Database Path VALUE="F:/shared/"/>
<TimeCode VALUE="00:00:00:00"/>
<PacketID VALUE="0"/>
</CaptureStart>

Field Definitions:

Note:

If the current working environment is loaded with rigid body or human body templates, the Database Path parameter must match the current working directory of XINGYING. If not, the recorded files cannot be directly loaded in XINGYING's Edit.

If you need an independent recording file path, you can copy the used rigid body or body template (.mars file) to the designated recording folder after recording, ensuring it can be loaded normally in XINGYING's Edit.

To record unnamed marker data, set the Database Path parameter to a valid path.


Stop notification

  1. The following example demonstrates a stop notification. Ensure that the broadcast is compatible with a UDP packet.

  2. The indentation in the following example is for clarity; the actual packet is not indented. The blank spaces between the tags have been removed.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CaptureStop>
<Name VALUE="Remotetake01" />
<Notes VALUE="Take notes go here if any." />
<Assets VALUE="skel1, skel2, sword" />
<TimeCode VALUE="00:00:00:00" />
<HostName VALUE="optional host name" />
<ProcessID VALUE="optional process id" />
</CaptureStop>
