How to use PTZGetAbsoluteRequest with Federation

To get the PTZ position of a device, there is a MessageId.Control.PTZGetAbsoluteRequest which must be called from EnvironmentManager.Instance.SendMessage.

Is it also possible to do this when connected to the top node of a federation and get the positions of the devices in sub nodes?

Can we use MessageCommunication to get the positions?

If no to all the above, can you consider add a method to MultiEnvironment or to UserContext so we can make calls to EnvironmentManager.Instance.SendMessage?

Thanks.

You need to do surprisingly little. Milestone Federated Architecture (MFA) is natively supported in the MIP SDK.

If you modify the PTZandPreset sample like this..

loginForm.MasterOnly = false; // add to login on child sites automatically
loginForm.ShowDialog();		// Show and complete the form and login to server

then the sample will work.

To conclude how it works let me add; you do not need to worry about the SendMessage because MIP SDK knows from the camera object..
