This fall brings the release of exciting new features, as well as integrations for Control API. We bring Control API to our AES67 devices and launch a new TypeScript client library as well as a module for companion.

Control API Version 1.2 on Firmware 10.4​

With firmware version 10.4, we introduce Control API v1.2.0. It makes Control API even more complete: all previously planned functionality that was only available through legacy APIs is now accessible via Control API.

Key features added:

  • Flex Processing control
  • Setting Global Labels and Local Labels
  • Mixer control data (access groups, console illumination, behavioural attributes)
  • Access to new 10.4 concepts like channel categories

We’re excited for the upcoming release of this firmware version.

Control API on AES67 Ravenna Interfaces​

With version 10.4, AES67 Ravenna Interfaces will also support Control API as a secure, lightweight, and license‑free alternative to NMOS and Ember+.

It will support:

  • Configuring RX & TX streams (including passing and reading SDP)
  • Configuring and reading multicast GPIOs
  • Configuring and monitoring system PTP
  • Routing internal audio channels between streams and the mixer (TDM bus)
  • Native support for out-of-band control via the IP Core device's ethernet ports

In general, almost every parameter available in the AES67 WebApp will also be available via Control API.

New TypeScript Client Library​

We’ve released a new TypeScript library designed to kickstart development with Control API in web apps or Node.js applications. It provides a simple, strongly‑typed interface so you don’t have to implement Control API from scratch.

To get started:

The library is open-source under the MIT license. Contributions and feedback are welcome—feel free to submit issues or pull requests.

Companion Module Release​

We also leveraged the new TypeScript library to build a Companion module (Bitfocus Companion) for Stream Deck. It supports basic commands like setting logic states and loading snapshots. It is open-source under the MIT license and free to use.
