Selecting active slot and video format
The "slot select" command instructs the deck to switch to a specified slot, or/and to select a specified
output video format.
To switch to a specified slot:
slot select: slot id: {slot ID}↵
To select the output video format:
slot select: video format: {video format}↵
Either or all slot select parameters may be specified. Note that selecting video format will result in a rescan
of the disk to reconstruct the timeline with all clips of the specified video format.
Clearing the current timeline
The "clips clear" command instructs the deck to empty the current timeline:
clips clear↵
The server responds with
200 ok↵
Adding a clip to the current timeline
The "clips add:" command instructs the deck to add a clip to the current timeline:
clips add: name: {"clip name"}↵
The server responds with

or in case of error

Configuring the watchdog
The "watchdog" command instructs the deck to monitor the connected client and terminate the connection
if the client is inactive for at least a specified period of time.
To configure the watchdog:
watchdog: period: {period in seconds}↵
To avoid disconnection, the client must send a command to the server at least every {period} seconds. Note
that if the period is set to 0 or less than 0, connection monitoring will be disabled.
