Hi, this works for the OBSBOT Tail AIR?

Asked by: Juan Pablo
According to OBSBOT the OBSBOT Tail Air AI-Powered PTZ Streaming Camera, BH #OBOWBTAAIPTZ, does work with VISCA controls over LAN. The Lumens VS-KB21 IP/NDI PTZ Camera Controller does offer VISCA over LAN, meaning they should be compatible.
