start_tcp.py
This is an example of how to remote control Pixera via Python calls via the API.
This example uses the Json/TCP(dl) setting that uses the delimiter 0xPX at the end of an API call.
This example uses the compound namespace. Please exchange the timeline name: "Abcd" to your real timeline name in the API call. Mode 1 = play
