The Lecture Recorder x2 can be configured and managed with the third-party

URLs. Please contact Epiphan for the most recent updates to the API.

19.2 RS-232 Commands
The Lecture Recorder x2 implements an RS-232 interface allowing for the easy
integration with existing control room and board room equipment.
Some of the commands require channel name as an argument. Channel name
should be separated from the command name by a period – “.”. Either a channel
name or a channel index can be specified. An empty channel name can be provided
for some commands. In this case this setting is interpreted as all channels. If more
than one channel has the same name the command will apply only to one channel,
so the channel index should be used instead.
