Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino

The Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino is an Arduino expansion board or “shield” that makes it possible for anyone to develop their own custom control solutions for Blackmagic Design cameras. UNO boards made by Arduino, Adafruit, Sparkfun, Freetronics and Seeedstudio are popular low cost open source micro controller platforms used by developers and enthusiasts. The Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino attaches to these platforms and then supports inserting camera control commands into the 3G‑SDI link to the camera.

36:T795,We own 7 of these cameras and use them for a wide variety of live production scenarios, providing us with a low cost option for getting unique camera angles. We have used these to cover sports as well as a wide variety of corporate and other productions, and they are particularly great when combined with an ATEM 1 M/E or ATEM 2 M/E switcher that provides camera control. With fast lenses, you can get good performance in a variety of lighting conditions, though my one complaint about the camera is that I wish it had a bit more sensitivity for lower light situations.As this is a live production camera, it does not have onboard recording, so if you plan on recording ISOs you'll need to connect an external recorder. For us, that simply means routing the signal to a Hyperdeck in our live production rack. For those that need a more remote recording option, the Video Assist is a solid product that will get the job done.One other note on the camera. Due to its small size, it doesn't have an LCD screen, so in order to interact with the menus, you'll need to connect the camera to an external display via the HDMI port. Once connected, you can then use the small buttons on the front of the camera to manage its settings. While most video settings can be controlled remotely via the ATEM video swit
