Blackmagic Design 3G-SDI Arduino Shield

The Blackmagic Design 3G-SDI Arduino Shield is a small expansion board that connects to an Arduino, which is an extremely popular open-source electronics prototyping platform. You can build custom controllers for Blackmagic cameras using the SDI camera control protocol. Use the sample code to learn how Arduino communicates with the shield, to send commands to cameras and other SDI devices. When you combine the power of camera control using the Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino and then use an Arduino Ethernet shield to control routers and switchers, you get everything you need to build complex automation and broadcast control solutions.

With this 3G-SDI Arduino Shield, you will have signature programs that are so-called Sketches. The Shield of Arduino only uses the 12C Bus interface which means there is compatibility to other micro-controllers as well as the Raspberry Pi. Controls that are supported via the SDI connections of this device such as Tally, Gain, Detail, Shutter, Zoom, and Focus.
