XF-PTZPlus

Zoom, focus, record and pan/tilt control for a Canon XF605, driven from an Xbox controller and a Raspberry Pi.

XF-PTZPlus turns a Canon XF605 camcorder into a remote-controlled PTZ camera. One module talks to the camera over Canon's XC protocol for zoom, focus, record and ND filters. The other drives a DC-motor pan/tilt head, and the whole thing is operated from an Xbox controller.
