Send VISCA commands using windows batch file

Have a situation where I want to control some FOMAKO cameras using VISCA, but from a Windows command prompt.  These commands for VISCA are HEX values which are sent.

You'll need two programs

1:  NCAT  (this will send the actual HEX commands)

https://nmap.org/dist/nmap-7.98-setup.exe

2:  XXD   (This tool will translate HEX commands)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xxd-for-windows/

Download and install these.

From a simplicity sake, drop XXD into a folder that will contain your batch files.  You can add it to your system path, there are lots of online tutorials already

The command syntax is as follows:

echo 'HEX VALUE' | xxd -r -p | ncat CAMERA_IP VISCA_PORT

So the example below will send the HEX to the camera at 192.168.0.11 port 52381 and change it to recall a set point #3 (substitute 03 in bold for 01 or 02 or whatever preset value you want to recall.

echo '8101043f0203ff' | xxd -r -p | ncat 192.168.0.11 52381

I incorporated it a batch file because I wanted to send some other commands.

This batch file example send command from one computer to another computer running OBS. 
So the first computer runs a .bat file and it looks like this:

echo '8101043f0203ff' | xxd -r -p | ncat 192.168.0.11 52381

timeout /T 3 /NOBREAK > NUL

C:\OBSCommand\OBSCommand.exe /server=192.168.0.10:4455 /password="password01" /scene="Slide1" /delay=1

So the above syntax contained in a BAT file to do the following:

Command camera @ 192.168.0.11 to move to Preset #3

Wait 3 seconds 

Sends a WebSocket command to OBS to change the scene called "Slide1".

Here are my camera network settings, just in case you run into issues with your camera, to help troubleshooting.
