A favorite of gamers for controlling their live streams, Elgato Stream Deck is a popular and powerful tool for live video production, especially when paired with BitFocus Companion.

BitFocus gives Stream Deck control of multiple types of production equipment, including PTZOptics cameras, Blackmagic video switchers, projectors, and more. By programming the Stream Deck, you gain near-complete control of your camera’s pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and exposure controls. Set up and store camera presets for up to three different cameras. No computer programming is necessary to set up advanced control of your PTZOptics cameras with the Elgato StreamDeck, but those interested can find the open-source code here: https://github.com/bitfocus/companion.
