Summary LifesizePTZ turns standard VISCA-over-IP PTZ commands into infrared signals that a legacy LifeSize Camera 10x understands. It runs on two Raspberry Pi Pico 2W boards: one receives UDP VISCA on port 52381 via a WIZnet W5500 Ethernet module, and the other generates precise 38 kHz IR frames with 57.325 ms gaps.
