## NAME

atemswitch - CLI client for the OpenSwitcher proxy HTTP api

## SYNOPSIS

  Show the help message and quit

- **-s URI, --proxy URI**

  HTTP uri to the root of the openswitcher proxy http API, required

- **-t INPUT, --to-source INPUT**

  Input number or name of the source to switch to, required

- **-u USERNAME, --username USERNAME**

  Authentication username for the proxy http api

- **-p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD**

  Authentication password for the proxy http api

- **-a, --auto**

  Do an AUTO transition instead of a CUT transition

- **-i INDEX, --index INDEX**

  Use a different M/E index, the M/E units are zero-indexed and this utility defaults to the first M/E
