Lua Engine for Third-Party Device Driver Creation in Xilica Designer

Xilica Designer integrates a powerful Lua scripting engine that enables equipment manufacturers, integrators, distributors, and end-users to build custom control interfaces for any third-party device with Ethernet control and an API.

The Lua engine provides two essential functions:

1. API Integration - Connect with third-party control protocols

2. UI Design and Packaging - Create intuitive user interfaces for device control

Once developed, these drivers become installable plug-ins to Xilica Designer, offering drag-and-drop access to controllable parameters of any supported device.

Xilica develops in-house drivers for:

• Products from manufacturer partnerships

• Common UC-focused equipment like ceiling tile microphones and PTZ cameras

Xilica does not offer Lua driver pro-services or on-demand driver creation. The Lua engine is designed as an open platform for third parties to develop custom drivers for their specific needs.
