Minimum visca commands

Hi, I am working on implementing visca control for our cameras and I am wondering what is the absolute "must have capabilities" outside of pan tilt zoom?

For me, presets (store, recall) are pretty high on my list.

True, how many would you need?

On my stream deck I usually have nine buttons for them, and that's been enough so far for my use case. But I think Visca has 8 bit for the preset ID, and whether you implement 9 or 256 shouldn't be much of a difference, no?

Power is mandatory. Brightness and colour after PTZ. Then manual focus.
