HTTP command syntax
Control of the Standalone VGA Grid by HTTP is done by sending commands to one of two URLs and
specifying the target configuration item. Syntax for the get and set commands follows.
Many commands require a
channel
or
recorder
index as an argument. A channel's index is found by looking at
the Channels list in the web interface. In the screen capture below, the channel with index 1 is currently
recording (it's index number is red). To address this channel via http commands, use the index channel1.
For commands requiring a recorder index, determine your recorder's index by combining the recorder's
number with the prefix
channelm
. In the example below, the second recorder's index is 2. To access this
recorder via http commands, use the index channelm2.
