Note for SKAARHOJ controllers with Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shields and Studio Fiber Converter/Camera Fiber Converter:
Ptz Controller Software Free
Please Notice: Previously the Studio Fiber Converter/Camera Fiber Converter was not compatible with their own 3G-SDI shield which is the component we use inside the RCPs and other products. However with the release of Blackmagic Camera Setup 6.9.2 (April 2020) this have now been resolved.
We have tested Blackmagics fiber converter products in general to work with SDI output. This includes the Mini Converter, ATEM Camera Converter, ATEM Studio Converter and ATEM Talkback Converter 4K and now also the Studio Fiber Converter/Camera Fiber Converter.
Hikvision Ptz Controller
Embedding CCU data on the the 3G-SDI return feed
Ptz Controller App
For controllers with the SDI option, you find a 3G-SDI in and out BNC plug. Route the return feed to the camera through this connection to insert CCU data on the signal.
If you use the Blacmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield for camera control the following outputs are supported: 720p50, 720p59.94, 720p60, 1080i50, 1080i59.94, 1080i60, 1080p23.98, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p29.97, 1080p30, 1080p50, 1080p59.94 and 1080p60, but the camera doesn´t have to be running the same video format as the program input, so you can use cameras in Ultra HD while the camera protocol is sent over HD signal to the camera.
BMD Camera Support
SKAARHOJ units with the SDI option controls any Blackmagic camera that supports CCU over the return SDI feed. The CCU data is inserted on the SDI return feed.
