Welcome
Thank you for purchasing your new Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.
We are always interested in new technologies and are excited by all the creative ways our SDI
products can be used. With your 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino, you can now integrate the Arduino
into your SDI workflow to get more control options with your Blackmagic Design equipment.
For example, ATEM switchers can control Blackmagic URSA Mini and Blackmagic Studio
Cameras via data packets embedded in the SDI signal. If you are not running an ATEM switcher,
but you would still like the ability to control your Blackmagic cameras, you can build custom
control solutions with your 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino. The shield gives you the SDI platform to
build upon, so you can loop the program return feed from your switcher, through the shield, and
into the program input on your Blackmagic Cameras.
Writing the code to send the commands to the camera is easy and all the supported commands
are included in this manual.
You can control the cameras using a computer, or you can add buttons, knobs and joysticks to
your shield and build dynamic hardware controllers for adjusting features such as lens focus
and zoom, aperture settings, pedestal and white balance control, the camera’s powerful built
in color corrector, and much more. Building your own custom controller is useful for production,
but it’s also a lot of fun!
We are excited by this technology and would love to hear about any SDI controllers you have
built for your 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino!
This instruction manual contains all the information you need to start using your
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino. Please check the support page on our website at
www.blackmagicdesign.com for the latest version of this manual and for updates to your
shield’s internal software. Keeping your software up to date will ensure you get all the latest
features! When downloading software, please register with your information so we can keep
you updated when new software is released. We are continually working on new features and
improvements, so we would love to hear from you!

Getting Started
Attaching and Soldering Headers
Your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino is supplied with 4 stackable headers, including two
8 pin headers, a 10 pin, and a 6 pin header. Headers are bridging connectors used to mount
your shield to the Arduino board, and because they are stackable you can attach other shields
on top with additional components, such as control buttons, knobs and joysticks. The header
layout supports mounting to Arduino boards with an R3 footprint, such as the Arduino UNO.

To attach the headers to your shield:
1

Insert the pins of each header through the corresponding pin holes on each side of
your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield. Refer to the illustration below for the header layout
arrangement.
A5 (I 2 C) SCL
A4 (I 2 C) SDA

0 - Serial RX
1 - Serial TX

8 PIN

NOTE When connecting to the shield, communication is via I2C or Serial.
We recommend I2C as this enables the serial monitor to be used and makes all
other pins available. Select the communication mode when defining the
BMDSDIControl object in the sketch. Refer to the ‘Communicating with your
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino’ section for more information.

2

Solder the base of each header pin to the underside of your shield. Make sure
the solder on each pin creates a firm join with the pin hole, but does not touch
the solder on nearby pins.

Getting Started

5

TIP To help make sure all pins on your shield are aligned with the female header pin
slots on the Arduino board, it’s helpful to solder just one pin on each header first.
Now place the shield onto the Arduino board to check the pin alignment. If any
headers need adjusting, you can then warm the solder joint on the corresponding
header and improve its alignment. This is a much easier method than soldering all the
joints first and then trying to make adjustments.

Mounting to the Arduino Board
Now that your headers are soldered to your shield, you can mount the 3G-SDI shield to your
Arduino board.
Carefully holding each side of the shield, align the header pins with your Arduino board’s
headers and gently push the pins into the header slots. Be careful not to bend any of the pins
while mounting the shield.

With all pins plugged in, the connection between the Blackmagic
shield and the Arduino board should be firm and stable.

Plugging in Power
To power your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino, simply plug in a 12V power adapter into
the 12V power input on your Blackmagic shield.

NOTE Plugging power into the Arduino board will not provide sufficient power to the
Blackmagic shield, however, powering the Blackmagic shield will provide power to the
Arduino as well, so make sure power is connected to your Blackmagic shield only.

Getting Started

Connecting to SDI Equipment
With power supplied, you can now plug your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield into your
SDI equipment. For example, to plug into a switcher and a Blackmagic URSA Mini:
1

Plug the program output from your switcher to the Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield’s
SDI input.

2

Plug your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield’s SDI output into the ‘program’ SDI input marked
PGM on your Blackmagic URSA Mini.

A connection diagram is provided below.

That’s all there is to getting started!
Now that your shield is mounted to the Arduino board, powered, and connected to your
SDI equipment, you can install the internal software and library files, program the Arduino
software and begin using the shield to control your equipment.
Continue reading the manual for information on how to install the shield’s internal software, and
where to install the Arduino library files so the shield can communicate with your Arduino.

TIP You can also use your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino to control other
Blackmagic Design products, such as Blackmagic MultiView 16. For example, when
your shield is connected to input 16, you can display a tally border on the multi view.

Software Installation
NOTE Before installing the Blackmagic Shield for Arduino setup utility, download the
latest Arduino IDE software from www.arduino.cc and install it on your computer.
After installing the Arduino software, you can now install your Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield’s internal software.

Installing Internal Software
Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup is used to update your shield’s internal software. The
internal software communicates with the Arduino board, and controls the board using Arduino
library files. These library files are installed with the setup software and all you need to do is
copy the folder containing the files and paste it into your Arduino application folder. You can
find information about the library files and how to install them in the next section of this manual.
We recommend downloading the latest Blackmagic Shield for Arduino software and updating
your shield so you can benefit from new features and improvements. The latest version can be
downloaded from the Blackmagic Design support center at
www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
To install the internal software using Mac OS X:

Installing Arduino Library Files
The programs written to control your Arduino are called sketches and your Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino uses Arduino library files that help make writing sketches easier. After
installing your shield’s setup software, the library files are installed into a folder named ‘Library’.
All you need to do now is copy the folder containing the library files and paste it into your
Arduino libraries folder.

NOTE The Arduino IDE software needs to be closed when installing libraries.

To install the library files on Mac OS X:
1

Open ‘Blackmagic Shield for Arduino’ in your ‘applications’ folder.

2

Open the ‘Library’ folder and right click/copy the folder named: BMDSDIControl.

3

Now go to your computer’s ‘documents’ folder and open the Arduino folder.

4

You will see a sub-folder named ‘libraries’. Paste the BMDSDIControl folder into the
‘libraries’ folder.

To install the library files on Windows:
1

Open the Programs/ Blackmagic Shield for Arduino folder.

2

You will now see a subfolder named ‘Library’. Open this folder and then right click/copy
the folder named: BMDSDIControl.

3

Now go to your computer’s ‘documents’ folder and open the Arduino folder.

4

You will see a sub-folder named ‘libraries’. Paste the BMDSDIControl folder into the
‘libraries’ folder.

That’s all you need to do to install the Blackmagic Design library files on your computer. When
running the Arduino software, you will now also have Blackmagic Design example sketches to
choose from.
Simply go to the ‘file’ drop down menu in the Arduino software menu bar, and select ‘examples’.
Now select BMDSDIControl and you will see a list of example sketches you can use.
With the library files stored in the correct folder, your shield can now use them to communicate
with the Arduino board. All you need to do is program the Arduino IDE software. Refer to the
‘Programming Arduino Sketches’ section for more information.

NOTE If an updated library file with examples is released in the future, you will need to
delete the old BMDSDIControl folder and replace it with the new folder using the
method described above.

Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup

The Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup software lets you change
settings on your shield such as the I2C address and video output format.

With Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup installed on your computer, you can now change
settings for your shield, such as the ‘I2C address’, which identifies your shield so the Arduino
board can communicate with it, and the ‘video format’, which sets the output format for
your shield.

I2C Address
In very rare cases, there is a potential for another shield mounted to your Blackmagic shield to
share the same I2C address as your shield’s default address which will create a conflict. If this
occurs, you can change your shield’s default address setting.

Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup

10

The default address for your shield is 0x6E, however, you can choose from a range of
addresses between 0x08 and 0x77.
To change the address for your shield:
1

Launch Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup and click on your shield’s ‘settings’ icon.

2

In the ‘set address to:’ edit box, type the address you wish to use.

3

Click ‘save’.

Video Format
The default output format is selected in the setup utility for when no input is connected. When
an input is detected, the output will follow the same format as the input. If this input is removed
the output will revert to the default output format selected in the utility. You can change the
video format by clicking in the ‘default output format’ drop down menu and selecting the
format you want.
You can choose from the following video output formats:
‚‚ 720p50
‚‚ 720p59.94
‚‚ 720p60
‚‚ 1080i50
‚‚ 1080i59.94
‚‚ 1080i60
‚‚ 1080p23.98
‚‚ 1080p24
‚‚ 1080p25
‚‚ 1080p29.97
‚‚ 1080p30
‚‚ 1080p50
‚‚ 1080p59.94
‚‚ 1080p60

Programming Arduino Sketches
The programs, or sketches, written into the Arduino software are very easy to write! Sketches
are written using common ‘C’ programming language. When programming your sketches using
commands from the Studio Camera Control Protocol, the shield embeds these commands into
the SDI output which lets you control your Blackmagic URSA Mini or Blackmagic Studio Cameras.
All supported commands are included in the Studio Camera Control Protocol section of this
manual so you can take the commands from the protocol and use them in your sketch.

Testing your Blackmagic Shield
and Library Installation
After everything is connected as described in the ‘Getting Started’ section and you have
installed the setup software and library files, you’ll want to check that your shield is
communicating with the Arduino board and that everything is working as it should.
A fast way is to open and run the supplied tally blink example sketch.
To do this:
1

Launch the Arduino IDE software.

2

Go to the ‘tools’ menu and select the Arduino board and Port number.

3

From the ‘File’ menu, select ‘Examples/BMDSDIControl’ and choose the sketch
named ‘TallyBlink’.

4

Upload the sketch to your board.

The Tally Blink example sketch is a fast and easy way to test your Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino. Raw data can be sent to your shield via I2C using commands from
the Studio Camera Protocol document, but we have also provided custom libraries to
make programming sketches much easier.

Testing your Blackmagic Shield and Library Installation

12

NOTE Make sure your Blackmagic Camera’s tally number is set to 1.

You should now see the tally light on your Blackmagic Studio Camera blink once every second.
If you see the tally light blinking you can be sure your Blackmagic shield is communicating with
the Arduino and everything is working properly.
If the tally light is not blinking, check that your Blackmagic camera’s tally number is set to 1.
If you need further assistance, please visit the Blackmagic Design support center at
www.blackmagicdesign.com/support. Refer to the help section of this manual for more
information on the different ways you can get help setting up your shield.

LED Indicators

Testing your Blackmagic Shield and Library Installation

13

After a successful boot, the power LED will turn on and all LEDs will resume their standard
functions during operation.
In the rare case of a boot failure, all LEDs except for the failed activity will flash rapidly so you
can identify the cause of the failure.

Attaching Shield Components
If you want to build your own hardware controller, you can create a new shield with buttons,
knobs and a joystick for more tactile, hands on control. Simply mount the custom shield to your
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino by plugging it into your shield’s header slots. There is no
limit to the types of controllers you can build. You can even replace the circuitry in an old CCU
with your own custom Arduino solution for an industry standard camera control unit.

You can create your own hardware controller and plug it into your Blackmagic
3G-SDI Shield for Arduino for more interactive and refined control.

Communicating with your Blackmagic
Shield for Arduino
You can communicate with your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino via I2C or Serial. We
recommend I2C because of the low pin count and it frees up the serial monitor. This also allows
you to use more I2C devices with the shield.

High Level Overview
The library provides two core objects, BMD_SDITallyControl and BMD_SDICameraControl,
which can be used to interface with the shield’s tally and camera control functionalities. Either
or both of these objects can be created in your sketch to issue camera control commands, or
read and write tally data respectively. These objects exist in several variants, one for each of
the physical I2C or Serial communication busses the shield supports.

Communicating with your Blackmagic Shield for Arduino

14

I2C Interface
To use the I2C interface to the shield:
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

Serial Interface
To use the Serial interface to the shield:
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ Serial
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ Serial

sdiCameraControl;
sdiTallyControl;

Note that the library will configure the Arduino serial interface at the required 38400 baud rate.
If you wish to print debug messages to the Serial Monitor when using this interface, change the
Serial Monitor baud rate to match. If the Serial Monitor is used, some binary data will be visible
as the IDE will be unable to distinguish between user messages and shield commands.

Example Usage
Once created in a sketch, these objects will allow you to issue commands to the shield over
selected bus by calling functions on the created object or objects. A minimal sketch that uses
the library via the I2C bus is shown below.
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

void setup() {
// Must be called before the objects can be used
sdiCameraControl.begin();
sdiTallyControl.begin();
// Turn on camera control overrides in the shield
sdiCameraControl.setOverride(true);
// Turn on tally overrides in the shield
sdiTallyControl.setOverride(true);
}
void loop() {
// Unused
}

The list of functions that may be called on the created objects are listed further on in this
document. Note that before use, you must call the ‘begin’ function on each object before
issuing any other commands.
Some example sketches demonstrating this library are included in the Arduino
IDE’s File‑>Examples->BMDSDIControl menu.

Communicating with your Blackmagic Shield for Arduino

15

Studio Camera Control Protocol
This section contains the Studio Camera Control Protocol from the Blackmagic Studio Camera
manual. You can use the commands in this protocol to control your Blackmagic URSA Mini or
Blackmagic Studio Camera via your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.
The Blackmagic Studio Camera Protocol shows that each camera parameter is arranged in
groups, such as:
Group ID

Group

0

Lens

1

Video

2

Audio

3

Output

4

Display

5

Tally

6

Reference

7

Configuration

8

Color Correction

10

Media

11

PTZ Control

The group ID is then used in the Arduino sketch to determine what parameter to change.
The function: sdiCameraControl.writeXXXX, is named based on what parameter you wish to
change, and the suffix used depends on what group is being controlled.
For example sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 is used for focus, aperture, zoom, audio, display,
tally and color correction when changing absolute values.
The complete syntax for this command is as follows:
sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 (
Camera number,
Group,
Parameter being controlled,
Operation,
Value
);

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified parameter
0 = assign value. The supplied Value is assigned to the specified parameter.
1 = offset value. Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the current
parameter Value.
For example:
sdiCameraControl.writeCommandFixed16(
1,
8,
0,
0,
liftAdjust
);
Studio Camera Control Protocol

16

1 = camera number 1
8 = Color Correction group
0 = Lift Adjust
0 = assign value
liftAdjust = setting the value for the RGB and luma levels
As described in the protocol section, liftAdjust is a 4 element array for RED[0], GREEN[1],
BLUE[2] and LUMA[3]. The complete array is sent with this command.
The sketch examples included with the library files contain descriptive comments to explain
their operation.

Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol
Version 1.2
If you are a software developer you can use the SDI Camera Control Protocol to construct
devices that integrate with our products. Here at Blackmagic Design our approach is to open up
our protocols and we eagerly look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Overview
The Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol is used by ATEM switchers, Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino and Blackmagic Camera Remote to provide Camera Control functionality
with supported Blackmagic Design cameras. Please refer to the ‘Understanding Studio Camera
Control’ section in the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and URSA Mini manuals, or the ATEM
Switchers Manual and ATEM Switchers SDK manual for more information. These can be
downloaded at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
This document describes an extensible protocol for sending a uni directional stream of small
control messages embedded in the non-active picture region of a digital video stream. The
video stream containing the protocol stream may be broadcast to a number of devices. Device
addressing is used to allow the sender to specify which device each message is directed to.

Assumptions
Alignment and padding constraints are explicitly described in the protocol document. Bit fields
are packed from LSB first. Message groups, individual messages and command headers are
defined as, and can be assumed to be, 32 bit aligned.

Blanking Encoding
A message group is encoded into a SMPTE 291M packet with DID/SDID x51/x53 in the active
region of VANC line 16.

Message Grouping
Up to 32 messages may be concatenated and transmitted in one blanking packet up to a
maximum of 255 bytes payload. Under most circumstances, this should allow all messages to
be sent with a maximum of one frame latency.
If the transmitting device queues more bytes of message packets than can be sent in a single
frame, it should use heuristics to determine which packets to prioritize and send immediately.
Lower priority messages can be delayed to later frames, or dropped entirely as appropriate.

Abstract Message Packet Format
Every message packet consists of a three byte header followed by an optional variable length
data block. The maximum packet size is 64 bytes.

Studio Camera Control Protocol

17

Destination device (uint8)

Device addresses are represented as an 8 bit unsigned integer. Individual
devices are numbered 0 through 254 with the value 255 reserved to indicate
a broadcast message to all devices.

Command length (uint8)

The command length is an 8 bit unsigned integer which specifies the length
of the included command data. The length does NOT include the length of
the header or any trailing padding bytes.

Command id (uint8)

The command id is an 8 bit unsigned integer which indicates the message
type being sent. Receiving devices should ignore any commands that they do
not understand. Commands 0 through 127 are reserved for commands that
apply to multiple types of devices. Commands 128 through 255 are device
specific.

Reserved (uint8)

This byte is reserved for alignment and expansion purposes. It should be set
to zero.

Command data (uint8[])

The command data may contain between 0 and 60 bytes of data. The format
of the data section is defined by the command itself.

Padding (uint8[])

Messages must be padded up to a 32 bit boundary with 0x0 bytes. Any
padding bytes are NOT included in the command length.

Receiving devices should use the destination device address and or the command identifier to
determine which messages to process. The receiver should use the command length to skip
irrelevant or unknown commands and should be careful to skip the implicit padding as well.

Defined Commands
Command 0 : change configuration
Category (uint8)

The category number specifies one of up to 256 configuration categories
available on the device.

Parameter (uint8)

The parameter number specifies one of 256 potential configuration
parameters available on the device. Parameters 0 through 127 are device
specific parameters. Parameters 128 though 255 are reserved for parameters
that apply to multiple types of devices.

Data type (uint8)

The data type specifies the type of the remaining data. The packet length is
used to determine the number of elements in the message. Each message
must contain an integral number of data elements.

Currently defined values are:
A void value is represented as a boolean array of length zero.
0: void / boolean

The data field is a 8 bit value with 0 meaning false and all other values
meaning true.

1: signed byte

Data elements are signed bytes

2: signed 16 bit integer

Data elements are signed 16 bit values

3: signed 32 bit integer

Data elements are signed 32 bit values

4: signed 64 bit integer

Data elements are signed 64 bit values

5: UTF-8 string

Data elements represent a UTF-8 string with no terminating character.

Studio Camera Control Protocol

18

Data types 6 through 127 are reserved.

128: signed 5.11 fixed point

Data elements are signed 16 bit integers representing a real number with 5
bits for the integer component and 11 bits for the fractional component. The
fixed point representation is equal to the real value multiplied by 2^11. The
representable range is from -16.0 to 15.9995
(15 + 2047/2048).

Data types 129 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Operation type (uint8)

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified
parameter. Currently defined values are:

0: assign value

The supplied values are assigned to the specified parameter. Each element
will be clamped according to its valid range. A void parameter may only be
'assigned' an empty list of boolean type. This operation will trigger the action
associated with that parameter. A boolean value may be assigned the value
zero for false, and any other value for true.

1: offset / toggle value

Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the
current parameter values. The resulting parameter value will be clamped
according to their valid range. It is not valid to apply an offset to a void value.
Applying any offset other than zero to a boolean value will invert that value.

Operation types 2 through 127 are reserved.

Operation types 128 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Data (void)

The data field is 0 or more bytes as determined by the data type and number
of elements.

The category, parameter, data type and operation type partition a 24 bit operation space.

はじめに
ヘッダーの取り付けおよびはんだ付け
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduinoには、積み重ね可能な4つのヘッダーが同梱されています。8ピン
ヘッダーが2つ、そして10ピン/6ピンヘッダーが1つずつです。ヘッダーは、Arduinoボードにシールドをマウント

するためのブリッジコネクターです。積み重ねられるので、コントロールボタンやノブ、ジョイスティックなどの
追加コンポーネントの付いた別のシールドをさらに取り付けることが可能です。ヘッダーレイアウトは、Arduino
UNOなど、R3フットプリントのArduinoボードへのマウントをサポートします。

ヘッダーをシールドに取り付ける:

Communicating with your Blackmagic
Shield for Arduino
You can communicate with your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino via I2C or Serial. We
recommend I2C because of the low pin count and it frees up the serial monitor. This also allows
you to use more I2C devices with the shield.

High Level Overview
The library provides two core objects, BMD_SDITallyControl and BMD_SDICameraControl,
which can be used to interface with the shield’s tally and camera control functionalities. Either
or both of these objects can be created in your sketch to issue camera control commands, or
read and write tally data respectively. These objects exist in several variants, one for each of
the physical I2C or Serial communication busses the shield supports.

Communicating with your Blackmagic Shield for Arduino

43

I2C Interface
To use the I2C interface to the shield:
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

Serial Interface
To use the Serial interface to the shield:
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ Serial
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ Serial

sdiCameraControl;
sdiTallyControl;

Note that the library will configure the Arduino serial interface at the required 38400 baud rate.
If you wish to print debug messages to the Serial Monitor when using this interface, change the
Serial Monitor baud rate to match. If the Serial Monitor is used, some binary data will be visible
as the IDE will be unable to distinguish between user messages and shield commands.

Example Usage
Once created in a sketch, these objects will allow you to issue commands to the shield over
selected bus by calling functions on the created object or objects. A minimal sketch that uses
the library via the I2C bus is shown below.
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

void setup() {
// Must be called before the objects can be used
sdiCameraControl.begin();
sdiTallyControl.begin();
// Turn on camera control overrides in the shield
sdiCameraControl.setOverride(true);
// Turn on tally overrides in the shield
sdiTallyControl.setOverride(true);
}
void loop() {
// Unused
}

The list of functions that may be called on the created objects are listed further on in this
document. Note that before use, you must call the ‘begin’ function on each object before
issuing any other commands.
Some example sketches demonstrating this library are included in the Arduino
IDE’s File‑>Examples->BMDSDIControl menu.

Communicating with your Blackmagic Shield for Arduino

44

Studio Camera Control Protocol
This section contains the Studio Camera Control Protocol from the Blackmagic Studio Camera
manual. You can use the commands in this protocol to control your Blackmagic URSA Mini or
Blackmagic Studio Camera via your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.
The Blackmagic Studio Camera Protocol shows that each camera parameter is arranged in
groups, such as:
Group ID

Group

0

Lens

1

Video

2

Audio

3

Output

4

Display

5

Tally

6

Reference

7

Configuration

8

Color Correction

10

Media

11

PTZ Control

The group ID is then used in the Arduino sketch to determine what parameter to change.
The function: sdiCameraControl.writeXXXX, is named based on what parameter you wish to
change, and the suffix used depends on what group is being controlled.
For example sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 is used for focus, aperture, zoom, audio, display,
tally and color correction when changing absolute values.
The complete syntax for this command is as follows:
sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 (
Camera number,
Group,
Parameter being controlled,
Operation,
Value
);

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified parameter
0 = assign value. The supplied Value is assigned to the specified parameter.
1 = offset value. Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the current
parameter Value.
For example:
sdiCameraControl.writeCommandFixed16(
1,
8,
0,
0,
liftAdjust
);
Studio Camera Control Protocol

45

1 = camera number 1
8 = Color Correction group
0 = Lift Adjust
0 = assign value
liftAdjust = setting the value for the RGB and luma levels
As described in the protocol section, liftAdjust is a 4 element array for RED[0], GREEN[1],
BLUE[2] and LUMA[3]. The complete array is sent with this command.
The sketch examples included with the library files contain descriptive comments to explain
their operation.

Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol
Version 1.2
If you are a software developer you can use the SDI Camera Control Protocol to construct
devices that integrate with our products. Here at Blackmagic Design our approach is to open up
our protocols and we eagerly look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Overview
The Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol is used by ATEM switchers, Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino and Blackmagic Camera Remote to provide Camera Control functionality
with supported Blackmagic Design cameras. Please refer to the ‘Understanding Studio Camera
Control’ section in the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and URSA Mini manuals, or the ATEM
Switchers Manual and ATEM Switchers SDK manual for more information. These can be
downloaded at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
This document describes an extensible protocol for sending a uni directional stream of small
control messages embedded in the non-active picture region of a digital video stream. The
video stream containing the protocol stream may be broadcast to a number of devices. Device
addressing is used to allow the sender to specify which device each message is directed to.

Assumptions
Alignment and padding constraints are explicitly described in the protocol document. Bit fields
are packed from LSB first. Message groups, individual messages and command headers are
defined as, and can be assumed to be, 32 bit aligned.

Blanking Encoding
A message group is encoded into a SMPTE 291M packet with DID/SDID x51/x53 in the active
region of VANC line 16.

Message Grouping
Up to 32 messages may be concatenated and transmitted in one blanking packet up to a
maximum of 255 bytes payload. Under most circumstances, this should allow all messages to
be sent with a maximum of one frame latency.
If the transmitting device queues more bytes of message packets than can be sent in a single
frame, it should use heuristics to determine which packets to prioritize and send immediately.
Lower priority messages can be delayed to later frames, or dropped entirely as appropriate.

Abstract Message Packet Format
Every message packet consists of a three byte header followed by an optional variable length
data block. The maximum packet size is 64 bytes.

Studio Camera Control Protocol

46

Destination device (uint8)

Device addresses are represented as an 8 bit unsigned integer. Individual
devices are numbered 0 through 254 with the value 255 reserved to indicate
a broadcast message to all devices.

Command length (uint8)

The command length is an 8 bit unsigned integer which specifies the length
of the included command data. The length does NOT include the length of
the header or any trailing padding bytes.

Command id (uint8)

The command id is an 8 bit unsigned integer which indicates the message
type being sent. Receiving devices should ignore any commands that they do
not understand. Commands 0 through 127 are reserved for commands that
apply to multiple types of devices. Commands 128 through 255 are device
specific.

Reserved (uint8)

This byte is reserved for alignment and expansion purposes. It should be set
to zero.

Command data (uint8[])

The command data may contain between 0 and 60 bytes of data. The format
of the data section is defined by the command itself.

Padding (uint8[])

Messages must be padded up to a 32 bit boundary with 0x0 bytes. Any
padding bytes are NOT included in the command length.

Receiving devices should use the destination device address and or the command identifier to
determine which messages to process. The receiver should use the command length to skip
irrelevant or unknown commands and should be careful to skip the implicit padding as well.

Defined Commands
Command 0 : change configuration
Category (uint8)

The category number specifies one of up to 256 configuration categories
available on the device.

Parameter (uint8)

The parameter number specifies one of 256 potential configuration
parameters available on the device. Parameters 0 through 127 are device
specific parameters. Parameters 128 though 255 are reserved for parameters
that apply to multiple types of devices.

Data type (uint8)

The data type specifies the type of the remaining data. The packet length is
used to determine the number of elements in the message. Each message
must contain an integral number of data elements.

Currently defined values are:
A void value is represented as a boolean array of length zero.
0: void / boolean

The data field is a 8 bit value with 0 meaning false and all other values
meaning true.

1: signed byte

Data elements are signed bytes

2: signed 16 bit integer

Data elements are signed 16 bit values

3: signed 32 bit integer

Data elements are signed 32 bit values

4: signed 64 bit integer

Data elements are signed 64 bit values

5: UTF-8 string

Data elements represent a UTF-8 string with no terminating character.

Data types 6 through 127 are reserved.

128: signed 5.11 fixed point

Data elements are signed 16 bit integers representing a real number with 5
bits for the integer component and 11 bits for the fractional component. The
fixed point representation is equal to the real value multiplied by 2^11. The
representable range is from -16.0 to 15.9995
(15 + 2047/2048).

Data types 129 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Operation type (uint8)

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified
parameter. Currently defined values are:

0: assign value

The supplied values are assigned to the specified parameter. Each element
will be clamped according to its valid range. A void parameter may only be
'assigned' an empty list of boolean type. This operation will trigger the action
associated with that parameter. A boolean value may be assigned the value
zero for false, and any other value for true.

1: offset / toggle value

Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the
current parameter values. The resulting parameter value will be clamped
according to their valid range. It is not valid to apply an offset to a void value.
Applying any offset other than zero to a boolean value will invert that value.

Operation types 2 through 127 are reserved.

Operation types 128 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Data (void)

The data field is 0 or more bytes as determined by the data type and number
of elements.

The category, parameter, data type and operation type partition a 24 bit operation space.

Mise en route
Fixer et souder les barrettes
La Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino est fournie avec 4 barrettes, dont deux barrettes mâles à
8 broches, une à 10 broches et une à 6 broches. Les barrettes sont des connecteurs qui permettent
d’installer votre carte extension sur l’Arduino. Comme elles se superposent, vous pouvez installer
d’autres cartes les unes sur les autres ainsi que des composants, notamment des boutons de
contrôle, des molettes et des joysticks. Ces barrettes sont conçues pour être installées sur les
cartes Arduino R3, telles que l’Arduino UNO.

Pour fixer les barrettes à votre carte extension :
1

Insérez les broches de chaque barrette dans les trous correspondants situés de part et
d’autre de la Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield. L’illustration ci-dessous vous indique la disposition
des barrettes.

REMARQUE Lors de la connexion à la carte extension, la communication
est établie via le protocole I2C ou le protocole série. Nous recommandons
de choisir I2C afin de pouvoir utiliser le moniteur série et les autres broches.
Sélectionnez le mode de communication lorsque vous définissez l’objet
BMDSDIControl dans le sketch. Pour plus d’informations, consultez la
section « Communication avec la Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino »
de ce manuel.

2

Soudez la base de chaque broche à la face inférieure de votre carte extension. Veillez à
ce que chaque broche soit solidement raccordée au trou correspondant, sans entrer en
contact avec la soudure des autres broches.

Mise en route

63

CONSEIL Afin que toutes les broches de la carte extension soient bien
alignées avec les trous de la barrette de l'Arduino, nous vous
recommandons, dans un premier temps, de ne souder qu'une broche sur
chaque barrette. Placez ensuite la carte extension sur l'Arduino pour
vérifier l'alignement des broches. Si certaines barrettes ont besoin d'être
ajustées, vous pouvez réchauffer la soudure et ainsi améliorer leur
alignement. C'est bien plus facile que de souder toutes les broches et
d'essayer de les ajuster par la suite.

Installation sur la carte Arduino
Une fois les barrettes soudées sur votre carte extension, vous pouvez l'installer sur la carte Arduino.
Saisissez les deux côtés de la carte extension et alignez les broches avec les barrettes de l'Arduino.
Poussez délicatement les broches dans les trous des barrettes. Veillez à ne pas plier les broches
lors de l'installation.

Une fois les broches enfoncées, la carte extension Blackmagic et la carte
Arduino doivent être fermement connectées.

Branchement de l'alimentation
Pour alimenter votre Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino, il suffit de brancher un adaptateur
12V à l’entrée d’alimentation 12V de la carte extension Blackmagic.

REMARQUE L'alimentation de la carte Arduino n'est pas suffisante pour les
deux cartes. En revanche, si vous alimentez la carte Blackmagic, la carte
Arduino sera également alimentée. Veillez donc à n'alimenter que la carte
Blackmagic.

Mise en route

64

Connexion à du matériel SDI
Une fois la carte alimentée, vous pouvez la connecter à du matériel SDI. Par exemple, un mélangeur
et une Blackmagic URSA Mini :
1

Branchez la sortie programme du mélangeur à l’entrée SDI de la Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield.

2

Branchez la sortie SDI de la Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield à l’entrée programme SDI (PMG) de
la Blackmagic URSA Mini.

Vous trouverez ci-dessous un schéma de connexion.

Entrée SDI
Sortie SDI

Mélangeur

Entrée SDI PGM

Blackmagic URSA Mini

C'est tout ce que vous devez savoir pour démarrer !
Maintenant que votre carte est montée sur l'Arduino, qu'elle est alimentée et connectée à du
matériel SDI, vous pouvez installer le logiciel interne et les fichiers bibliothèque.
Consultez le reste du manuel pour obtenir plus d'informations sur l'installation du logiciel interne de
la carte extension et sur l'installation des fichiers bibliothèque afin que la carte extension puisse
communiquer avec l'Arduino.

CONSEIL Vous pouvez également utiliser la Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for
Arduino pour contrôler d’autres produits Blackmagic Design, tels que le
Blackmagic MultiView 16. Par exemple, lorsque la carte est connectée à l’entrée
16 de l’appareil, une bordure tally s’affiche sur le multivue.

Une fois la carte extension démarrée, le voyant d’alimentation s'allume et les autres LED reprennent
leur fonction standard.
En cas de problème au cours du démarrage, les LED qui rencontrent des problèmes ne clignotent
pas. En revanche, celles qui fonctionnent clignotent rapidement. Cela vous permet d’identifier
facilement l'origine du problème.

Fixation de composants
sur la carte extension
Si vous souhaitez créer votre propre contrôleur matériel, vous pouvez construire une nouvelle carte
extension dotée de boutons, de molettes et d’un joystick pour effectuer un contrôle plus précis.
Fixez simplement la carte extension personnalisée à la Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino en
l’insérant dans les trous de la barrette. Vous pouvez ajouter le nombre de contrôleurs dont vous
avez besoin. Si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez même remplacer le circuit électronique d’une
ancienne voie de commande par votre propre Arduino.

Créez votre propre contrôleur matériel et fixer-le à la Blackmagic
3G-SDI Shield for Arduino pour un contrôle extrêmement précis.

Communiquer avec votre Blackmagic
Shield for Arduino
You can communicate with your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino via I2C or Serial.
We recommend I2C because of the low pin count and it frees up the serial monitor. This also
allows you to use more I2C devices with the shield.

High Level Overview
The library provides two core objects, BMD_SDITallyControl and BMD_SDICameraControl,
which can be used to interface with the shield’s tally and camera control functionalities.
Either or both of these objects can be created in your sketch to issue camera control
commands, or read and write tally data respectively. These objects exist in several variants,
one for each of the physical I2C or Serial communication busses the shield supports.

Fixation de composants sur la carte extension

72

I2C Interface
To use the I2C interface to the shield:
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

Serial Interface
To use the Serial interface to the shield:
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ Serial
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ Serial

sdiCameraControl;
sdiTallyControl;

Note that the library will configure the Arduino serial interface at the required 38400 baud rate.
If you wish to print debug messages to the Serial Monitor when using this interface, change the
Serial Monitor baud rate to match. If the Serial Monitor is used, some binary data will be visible
as the IDE will be unable to distinguish between user messages and shield commands.

Example Usage
Once created in a sketch, these objects will allow you to issue commands to the shield over
selected bus by calling functions on the created object or objects. A minimal sketch that uses
the library via the I2C bus is shown below.
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

void setup() {
// Must be called before the objects can be used
sdiCameraControl.begin();
sdiTallyControl.begin();
// Turn on camera control overrides in the shield
sdiCameraControl.setOverride(true);
// Turn on tally overrides in the shield
sdiTallyControl.setOverride(true);
}
void loop() {
// Unused
}

The list of functions that may be called on the created objects are listed further on in this
document. Note that before use, you must call the ‘begin’ function on each object before
issuing any other commands.
Some example sketches demonstrating this library are included in the Arduino
IDE’s File‑>Examples->BMDSDIControl menu.

Communiquer avec votre Blackmagic Shield for Arduino

Studio Camera Control Protocol
This section contains the Studio Camera Control Protocol from the Blackmagic Studio Camera
manual. You can use the commands in this protocol to control your Blackmagic URSA Mini or
Blackmagic Studio Camera via your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.
The Blackmagic Studio Camera Protocol shows that each camera parameter is arranged in
groups, such as:
Group ID

Group

0

Lens

1

Video

2

Audio

3

Output

4

Display

5

Tally

6

Reference

7

Configuration

8

Color Correction

10

Media

11

PTZ Control

The group ID is then used in the Arduino sketch to determine what parameter to change.
The function: sdiCameraControl.writeXXXX, is named based on what parameter you wish to
change, and the suffix used depends on what group is being controlled.
For example sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 is used for focus, aperture, zoom, audio, display,
tally and color correction when changing absolute values.
The complete syntax for this command is as follows:
sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 (
Camera number,
Group,
Parameter being controlled,
Operation,
Value
);

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified parameter
0 = assign value. The supplied Value is assigned to the specified parameter.
1 = offset value. Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the current
parameter Value.
For example:
sdiCameraControl.writeCommandFixed16(
1,
8,
0,
0,
liftAdjust
);
Studio Camera Control Protocol

74

1 = camera number 1
8 = Color Correction group
0 = Lift Adjust

Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol
Version 1.2
If you are a software developer you can use the SDI Camera Control Protocol to construct
devices that integrate with our products. Here at Blackmagic Design our approach is to open
up our protocols and we eagerly look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Overview
The Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol is used by ATEM switchers, Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino and Blackmagic Camera Remote to provide Camera Control functionality
with supported Blackmagic Design cameras. Please refer to the ‘Understanding Studio Camera
Control’ section in the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and URSA Mini manuals, or the ATEM
Switchers Manual and ATEM Switchers SDK manual for more information. These can be
downloaded at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
This document describes an extensible protocol for sending a uni directional stream of small
control messages embedded in the non-active picture region of a digital video stream. The
video stream containing the protocol stream may be broadcast to a number of devices. Device
addressing is used to allow the sender to specify which device each message is directed to.

Assumptions
Alignment and padding constraints are explicitly described in the protocol document. Bit fields
are packed from LSB first. Message groups, individual messages and command headers are
defined as, and can be assumed to be, 32 bit aligned.

Blanking Encoding
A message group is encoded into a SMPTE 291M packet with DID/SDID x51/x53 in the active
region of VANC line 16.

Message Grouping
Up to 32 messages may be concatenated and transmitted in one blanking packet up to a
maximum of 255 bytes payload. Under most circumstances, this should allow all messages to
be sent with a maximum of one frame latency.
If the transmitting device queues more bytes of message packets than can be sent in a single
frame, it should use heuristics to determine which packets to prioritize and send immediately.
Lower priority messages can be delayed to later frames, or dropped entirely as appropriate.

Abstract Message Packet Format
Every message packet consists of a three byte header followed by an optional variable length
data block. The maximum packet size is 64 bytes.

Destination device (uint8)

Device addresses are represented as an 8 bit unsigned integer. Individual
devices are numbered 0 through 254 with the value 255 reserved to indicate
a broadcast message to all devices.

Command length (uint8)

The command length is an 8 bit unsigned integer which specifies the length
of the included command data. The length does NOT include the length of
the header or any trailing padding bytes.

Command id (uint8)

The command id is an 8 bit unsigned integer which indicates the message
type being sent. Receiving devices should ignore any commands that they do
not understand. Commands 0 through 127 are reserved for commands that
apply to multiple types of devices. Commands 128 through 255 are device
specific.

Reserved (uint8)

This byte is reserved for alignment and expansion purposes. It should be set
to zero.

Command data (uint8[])

The command data may contain between 0 and 60 bytes of data. The format
of the data section is defined by the command itself.

Padding (uint8[])

Messages must be padded up to a 32 bit boundary with 0x0 bytes. Any
padding bytes are NOT included in the command length.

Receiving devices should use the destination device address and or the command identifier to
determine which messages to process. The receiver should use the command length to skip
irrelevant or unknown commands and should be careful to skip the implicit padding as well.

Defined Commands
Command 0 : change configuration
Category (uint8)

The category number specifies one of up to 256 configuration categories
available on the device.

Parameter (uint8)

The parameter number specifies one of 256 potential configuration
parameters available on the device. Parameters 0 through 127 are device
specific parameters. Parameters 128 though 255 are reserved for parameters
that apply to multiple types of devices.

Data type (uint8)

The data type specifies the type of the remaining data. The packet length is
used to determine the number of elements in the message. Each message
must contain an integral number of data elements.

Currently defined values are:
A void value is represented as a boolean array of length zero.
0: void / boolean

The data field is a 8 bit value with 0 meaning false and all other values
meaning true.

1: signed byte

Data elements are signed bytes

2: signed 16 bit integer

Data elements are signed 16 bit values

3: signed 32 bit integer

Data elements are signed 32 bit values

4: signed 64 bit integer

Data elements are signed 64 bit values

5: UTF-8 string

Data elements represent a UTF-8 string with no terminating character.

Studio Camera Control Protocol

76

Data types 6 through 127 are reserved.

128: signed 5.11 fixed point

Data elements are signed 16 bit integers representing a real number with 5
bits for the integer component and 11 bits for the fractional component. The
fixed point representation is equal to the real value multiplied by 2^11. The
representable range is from -16.0 to 15.9995
(15 + 2047/2048).

Data types 129 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Operation type (uint8)

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified
parameter. Currently defined values are:

0: assign value

The supplied values are assigned to the specified parameter. Each element
will be clamped according to its valid range. A void parameter may only be
'assigned' an empty list of boolean type. This operation will trigger the action
associated with that parameter. A boolean value may be assigned the value
zero for false, and any other value for true.

1: offset / toggle value

Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the
current parameter values. The resulting parameter value will be clamped
according to their valid range. It is not valid to apply an offset to a void value.
Applying any offset other than zero to a boolean value will invert that value.

Operation types 2 through 127 are reserved.

Operation types 128 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Data (void)

The data field is 0 or more bytes as determined by the data type and number
of elements.

The category, parameter, data type and operation type partition a 24 bit operation space.

Blackmagic
3G-SDI Shield
for Arduino
Juni 2018
Deutsch



89

Willkommen!
Danke, dass Sie sich für den Kauf des neuen Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino entschieden haben.
Wir haben ein ungemeines Interesse an neuen Technologien und sind immer wieder begeistert, auf
welch kreative Art und Weise unsere SDI-Produkte eingesetzt werden. Mit dem 3G-SDI Shield for
Arduino können Sie den Arduino jetzt in Ihren SDI-Workflow integrieren, um Ihr Blackmagic Design
Equipment um noch mehr Steuerungsmöglichkeiten zu erweitern.
So lassen sich bspw. die URSA Mini und Blackmagic Studio Cameras von einem ATEM Mischer aus
steuern. Das geschieht mithilfe von Datenpaketen, die in das SDI-Signal eingebettet sind. Sollten Sie
über keinen ATEM Mischer verfügen, aber dennoch die Möglichkeit haben wollen, Ihre Blackmagic
Kameras zu steuern, können Sie mit Ihrem 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino auch Steuerungslösungen nach
Ihrem Gusto kreieren. Das Shield dient Ihnen hierbei als SDI-Grundgerüst, damit Sie den ProgrammFeed von Ihrem Mischer anhand des Shields rückführen und durch den Programmeingang Ihrer
Blackmagic Cameras schleifen können.
Der Code für die Befehle, die an die Kamera gesendet werden, ist im Handumdrehen geschrieben.
Alle unterstützten Befehle finden Sie außerdem in diesem Handbuch.
Steuern Sie Ihre Kameras entweder über einen Computer oder erweitern Sie Ihr Shield um Tasten,
Regler und Joysticks. Bauen Sie sich so dynamische Hardware-Controller, mit denen sich Funktionen
wie Fokus, Zoom, Blendeneinstellungen, Schwarzabhebung, Weißabgleich sowie der leistungsstarke
Farbkorrektor der Kamera und vieles mehr anpassen lassen. Sich einen Controller nach den eigenen
Bedürfnissen zu basteln ist nicht nur hilfreich für die Produktion, sondern macht auch eine Menge Spaß!
Wir sind von dieser Technologie begeistert und würden uns freuen, wenn Sie Ihre Ideen mit
uns teilen und uns erzählen, welche SDI-Steuerelemente Sie für Ihr 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino
zusammengestellt haben.
Diese Bedienungsanleitung gibt Ihnen alle Informationen, die Sie für die Inbetriebnahme Ihres
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino brauchen. Bitte sehen Sie auf der Support-Seite unter
www.blackmagicdesign.com/de/support nach der aktuellsten Auflage der Bedienungsanleitung
sowie Aktualisierungen der Produktsoftware Ihres Shields. Indem Sie Ihre Software auf dem neuesten
Stand halten, haben Sie stets Zugriff auf neue, aktuelle Features! Wenn Sie Software herunterladen,
empfehlen wir Ihnen, sich zu registrieren, sodass wir Sie über neue Updates informieren können,
sobald diese zur Verfügung stehen. Da wir ständig an neuen Features und Verbesserungen arbeiten,

Erste Schritte
Aufstecken und Verlöten von Stiftleisten
Ihr Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino wird mit vier stapelbaren Stiftleisten geliefert, darunter zwei
8-polige, eine 10-polige und eine 6-polige. Stiftleisten sind Verbindungsstecker, mit denen Sie Ihr
Shield auf das Arduino-Board aufstecken. Da die Stiftleisten stapelbar sind, können Sie weitere
Shields mit zusätzlichen Komponenten wie Steuerungstasten, Reglern und Joysticks übereinander
anbringen. Die Stiftleisten sind so aufgebaut, dass sie für die Montage auf Arduino-Boards mit
R3-Fläche wie dem Arduino UNO geeignet sind.

So verbinden Sie die Stiftleisten mit Ihrem Shield:
1

Führen Sie die Stifte der Leisten in die jeweiligen Buchsen auf beiden Seiten Ihres
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shields ein. Die Anordnung der Stiftleisten finden Sie in der
Abbildung unten.
A5 (I 2 C) SCL
A4 (I 2 C) SDA

0 - Serial RX
1 - Serial TX

8 PIN

6 PIN

8 PIN
10 PIN
(I 2 C) SDA
(I 2 C) SCL

HINWEIS Wenn Sie sich mit dem Shield verbinden, läuft die Kommunikation über
I2C oder seriell. Wir empfehlen I2C, da dies den seriellen Monitor unterstützt und
alle Pins verfügbar bleiben. Wählen Sie den Kommunikationsmodus, wenn Sie das
BMDSDIControl-Objekt im Sketch festlegen. Weitere Informationen finden Sie im
Abschnitt „Kommunizieren mit Ihrem Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino“.

2

Verlöten Sie den Ansatz eines jeden Stifts mit der Unterseite Ihres Shields. Vergewissern
Sie sich, dass das Lot eine feste Verbindung zwischen Stift und Buchse erzeugt, sich die
einzelnen Lötstellen nebeneinanderliegender Stifte jedoch nicht berühren.

Erste Schritte

92

TIPP Um sicherzustellen, dass alle Pins Ihres Shields auf die weiblichen Buchsenleisten
des Arduino-Boards ausgerichtet sind, ist es ratsam, zunächst nur einen Pin mit jeder Leiste
zu verlöten. Platzieren Sie dann das Shield auf dem Arduino-Board und überprüfen Sie die
Ausrichtung der Pins. Sollten einige Leisten angepasst werden müssen, können Sie die
Lötstelle der jeweiligen Leiste erwärmen und sie neu ausrichten. Das ist sehr viel einfacher
als alle Stellen zu verlöten und anschließend Anpassungen vorzunehmen.

Anbringen an das Arduino-Board
Sobald die Stiftleisten mit Ihrem Shield verlötet sind, können Sie das 3G-SDI Shield auf Ihr ArduinoBoard aufstecken.
Halten Sie das Shield an beiden Seiten fest und richten Sie die Stiftleisten auf die Buchsenleisten Ihres
Arduino-Boards aus. Drücken Sie nun die Stifte vorsichtig in die Buchsen. Achten Sie darauf, dass sich
die Stifte dabei nicht verbiegen.

Wenn alle Stifte eingeführt sind, sollte eine feste und stabile Verbindung
zwischen dem Blackmagic Shield und dem Arduino-Board bestehen

Anschließen an das Stromnetz
Schließen Sie Ihr Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino an das Stromnetz an, indem Sie einfach einen
12V-Stromadapter in den 12V-Stromausgang Ihres Blackmagic Shields stecken.

HINWEIS Die Stromversorgung des Arduino-Boards liefert nicht ausreichend Strom für das
Blackmagic Shield. Wenn Sie jedoch das Blackmagic Shield an das Stromnetz anschließen,
wird auch der Arduino mit Strom versorgt. Stellen Sie also sicher, dass lediglich Ihr
Blackmagic Shield mit dem Netzstrom verbunden ist.

Erste Schritte

93

Anschließen an SDI-Equipment
Ist eine Verbindung zum Stromnetz hergestellt, können Sie das Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino
an Ihr SDI-Equipment anschließen. So schließen Sie bspw. einen Mischer und eine Blackmagic
URSA Mini an:
1

Schließen Sie den Programmausgang Ihres Mischers an den SDI-Eingang des Blackmagic
3G-SDI Shields an.

2

Verbinden Sie den SDI-Ausgang Ihres Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shields mit dem mit „PGM“
gekennzeichneten SDI-Programmeingang Ihrer URSA Mini.

Ein Anschlussdiagramm finden Sie weiter unten.

SDI OUT

Switcher

Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino

SDI ‘PGM’ Input

Blackmagic URSA Mini

Für den Einstieg war das schon alles.
Nun, da Ihr Shield auf dem Arduino-Board angebracht, es mit Strom versorgt und mit Ihrem
SDI‑Equipment verbunden ist, können Sie die Produktsoftware sowie die Bibliotheksdateien
installieren, die Arduino-Software programmieren und mit dem Shield Ihr Equipment steuern.
Im weiteren Verlauf des Handbuchs finden Sie Informationen darüber, wie Sie die Produktsoftware
des Shields installieren und wo Sie die Arduino-Bibliotheksdateien speichern sollten, damit das Shield
mit Ihrem Arduino kommunizieren kann.

TIPP Ihr Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino können Sie auch für die Steuerung anderer
Blackmagic Design Produkte wie bspw. des Blackmagic MultiView 16 benutzen. Wenn Sie
Ihr Shield an Eingang 16 koppeln, können Sie so Tally-Umrandungen in der
Mehrfachansicht anzeigen.

Erste Schritte

94

Softwareinstallation
HINWEIS Laden Sie die aktuellste Arduino IDE Software von www.arduino.cc herunter und
installieren Sie sie auf Ihrem Computer. Installieren Sie erst dann das Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino Setup-Dienstprogramm.
Nachdem Sie die Arduino-Software installiert haben, können Sie die Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield Produktsoftware installieren.

Installieren der Produktsoftware
Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup dient der Aktualisierung der Produktsoftware Ihres Shields. Die
Produktsoftware kommuniziert mit dem Arduino-Board und steuert es mithilfe von ArduinoBibliotheksdateien. Diese Bibliotheksdateien werden zusammen mit der Setup-Software installiert. Sie
müssen lediglich den Ordner mit den Dateien kopieren und in den Arduino-Anwendungsordner
einfügen. Informationen zu den Bibliotheksdateien und wie diese installiert werden, finden Sie im
nächsten Kapitel dieses Handbuchs.

Softwareinstallation

95

Installieren der Arduino
Bibliotheksdateien
Die Programme zur Steuerung Ihres Arduinos werden als Sketche bezeichnet. Ihr Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino macht von Bibliotheksdateien Gebrauch, um das Schreiben von Sketchen zu
vereinfachen. Nach der Installation der Konfigurationssoftware Ihres Shields werden die
Bibliotheksdateien in einem Ordner namens „Library“ (Bibliothek) gespeichert. Kopieren Sie den
Ordner mit den Bibliotheksdateien und fügen Sie ihn in den „Library“-Ordner Ihres Arduino ein.

HINWEIS Während der Installation von Bibliotheken muss die IDE-Software
geschlossen sein.

So installieren Sie Bibliotheksdateien unter Mac OS X:
1

Öffnen Sie „Blackmagic Shield for Arduino“ im Ordner „Programme“.

2

Öffnen Sie den Ordner „Library“ und führen Sie auf dem Ordner „BMDSDIControl“ einen
Rechtsklick aus. Wählen Sie anschließend „Kopieren“.

3

Gehen Sie nun zum Ordner „Dokumente“ und öffnen Sie den „Arduino“-Ordner.

4

Dort befindet sich ein Unterordner namens „Libraries“. Fügen Sie den Ordner
„BMDSDIControl“ in den Ordner „Libraries“ ein.

So installieren Sie Bibliotheksdateien unter Windows:
1

Öffnen Sie den Ordner „Programme“ bzw. „Blackmagic Shield for Arduino“.

2

Sie sehen nun einen Unterordner mit dem Namen „Library“. Öffnen Sie diesen und kopieren
Sie den Ordner mit dem Namen „BMDSDIControl“ per Rechtsklick.

3

Gehen Sie nun zum Ordner „Dokumente“ und öffnen Sie den „Arduino“-Ordner.

4

Dort befindet sich ein Unterordner namens „Libraries“. Fügen Sie den Ordner
„BMDSDIControl“ in den Ordner „Libraries“ ein.

Das ist schon alles, um die Blackmagic Design Bibliotheksdateien auf Ihrem Computer zu installieren.
Wenn Sie mit der Arduino-Software arbeiten, stehen Ihnen jetzt auch Blackmagic Design BeispielSketche zur Verfügung.
Öffnen Sie dazu einfach das Aufklappmenü „File“ (Datei) in der Menüzeile der Arduino-Software und
wählen Sie „Examples“ (Beispiele). Klicken Sie auf „BMDSDIControl“. Nun erscheint eine Liste mit
Beispiel-Sketchen zu Ihrer Auswahl.
Wenn sich die Bibliotheksdateien im korrekten Ordner befinden, kann Ihr Shield nun auf sie zugreifen
und mit dem Arduino-Board kommunizieren. Alles, was Sie dafür tun müssen, ist die Arduino-IDESoftware zu programmieren. Weitere Informationen finden Sie im Abschnitt „Programmieren von
Arduino-Sketchen“.

HINWEIS Wenn in Zukunft ein Update der Bibliotheksdatei mit Beispielen
herausgegeben wird, müssen Sie den alten „BMDSDIControl“-Ordner löschen und ihn
mit dem neuen Ordner ersetzen. Folgen Sie den Anweisungen oben.

Installieren der Arduino Bibliotheksdateien

96

Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup

Über die Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup Software können Sie Änderungen der Einstellungen an Ihrem
Shield vornehmen. Dazu gehören bspw. die I2C-Adresse und das Videoausgabeformat

Wenn Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup auf Ihrem Computer installiert ist, können Sie darüber die
Einstellungen Ihres Shields ändern. Dazu gehört die „I2C Address“ (I2C-Adresse), die Ihr Shield
identifiziert, damit das Arduino-Board mit ihm kommunizieren kann, und das „Video Format“
(Videoformat), das das Ausgabeformat Ihres Shields festlegt.

„I2C Address“
In seltenen Fällen ist es möglich, dass ein weiteres Shield, das auf Ihrem Blackmagic Shield
angebracht ist, dieselbe standardmäßige I2C-Adresse wie Ihr Shield verwendet. Das führt zu einem
Konflikt. Sollte dies der Fall sein, können Sie die Standardadresse ändern.

Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup

97

Die Standardadresse für Ihr Shield ist 0x6E. Sie haben jedoch eine Reihe von Adressen zwischen
0x08 und 0x77 zur Wahl.
So ändern Sie die Adresse Ihres Shields:
1

Starten Sie Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup und klicken Sie auf das Einstellungssymbol.

2

Tragen Sie in den Kasten „Set Address to:“ (Adresse einstellen auf:) die Adresse ein, die Sie
verwenden möchten.

3

Klicken Sie auf „Save“ (Speichern).

„Video Format“
Wenn keine Eingabe angeschlossen ist, wird das im Setup-Dienstprogramm eingestellte
Standardausgabeformat gewählt. Wird eine Eingabe erkannt, erfolgt die Ausgabe im selben
Format wie die Eingabe. Wird diese Eingabe entfernt, setzt sich der Ausgang auf das
Ausgabeformat zurück, das im Dienstprogramm festgelegt wurde. Sie können das Videoformat
ändern, indem Sie im Ausklappmenü unter „Default Output Format“ (Standardausgabeformat)
das gewünschte Format auswählen.
Die folgenden Videoausgabeformate sind verfügbar:

Programmieren von Arduino-Sketchen
Die Programme – oder Sketche – für die Arduino-Software sind kinderleicht zu schreiben! Sketche
werden in gängigen C-Programmiersprachen geschrieben. Wenn Sie Sketche mithilfe von Befehlen
des Studio Camera Control Protocols programmieren, bettet das Shield diese Befehle in die
SDI‑Ausgabe ein. Mit dieser lassen sich Ihre Blackmagic URSA Mini oder Blackmagic Studio Cameras
daraufhin steuern.
Alle unterstützten Befehle finden Sie im Abschnitt „Studio Camera Control Protocol“ dieses
Handbuchs. Nehmen Sie diese und benutzen Sie sie für Ihren Sketch.

Programmieren von Arduino-Sketchen

98

Testen der Blackmagic Shield und
Bibliotheken-Installation
Nachdem alles wie im Abschnitt „Erste Schritte“ beschrieben verbunden wurde und Sie die
Konfigurationssoftware und die Bibliotheksdateien installiert haben, möchten Sie wahrscheinlich
testen, ob Ihr Shield mit dem Arduino-Board kommuniziert und alles einwandfrei funktioniert.
Am schnellsten geht das, wenn Sie den vorhandenen Beispiel-Sketch für das Blinken des Tally‑Lichts
öffnen und ausführen.
Das geht so:
1

Starten Sie die Arduino-IDE-Software.

2

Gehen Sie zum „Tools“-Menü (Werkzeuge) und wählen Sie das Arduino-Board und die
Port‑Nummer aus.

3

Klicken Sie im „File“-Menü (Datei) auf „Examples/BMDSDIControl“ (Beispiele/BMDSDIControl)
und wählen Sie „TallyBlink“ aus.

4

Laden Sie den Sketch auf Ihr Board.

Das Beispiel mit dem Blinken des Tally-Lichts ist eine schnelle und einfache Möglichkeit, Ihr
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino zu testen. Rohdaten können mithilfe von Befehlen
aus dem Studio Camera Protocol Dokument über I2C an Ihr Shield gesendet werden. Wir
haben Ihnen aber zudem eine spezielle Bibliothek zur Verfügung gestellt, damit Sie
Sketche sehr viel einfacher programmieren können.

Testen der Blackmagic Shield und Bibliotheken-Installation

99

HINWEIS Vergewissern Sie sich, dass die Tally-Nummer Ihrer Blackmagic Kamera auf „1“
eingestellt ist.

Nun sollte das Tally-Licht an Ihrer Blackmagic Studio Camera einmal pro Sekunde blinken. Ist dies der
Fall, können Sie sicher sein, dass Ihr Blackmagic Shield mit dem Arduino kommuniziert und alles
einwandfrei funktioniert.
Blinkt das Tally-Licht nicht, vergewissern Sie sich zunächst, dass die Tally-Nummer der Blackmagic
Kamera auf „1“ eingestellt ist.

Status-LEDs
8 PIN

10 PIN

Ihr Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino verfügt über sechs Status-LEDs, die unterschiedliche
Aktivitätszustände wie Stromzufuhr, UART-, I2C- und SPI-Kommunikation anzeigen. Die LEDs zeigen
außerdem an, wenn die Tally- und Camera-Control-Overrides aktiviert sind.
LED 1
LED 2
LED 3

LED 4
LED 5
LED 6

LED 1 – System aktiv
Leuchtet auf, wenn das Shield mit Strom versorgt wird.
6 PIN

8 PIN

LED 2 – Control-Overrides aktiviert
Leuchtet auf, wenn Sie in Ihrem Arduino-Sketch die Kamerasteuerung aktiviert haben.
LED 3 – Tally-Overrides aktiviert
Leuchtet auf, wenn Sie in Ihrem Arduino-Sketch Tally aktiviert haben.
LED 5 – I2C-Parser aktiv
Leuchtet auf, wenn Ihr Shield und der Arduino über das I2C-Protokoll kommunizieren.
LED 6 – Serieller Parser aktiv
Leuchtet auf, wenn UART-Kommunikation erkannt wird.
Wenn Ihr Blackmagic Shield bootet, bleibt die Strom-LED unbeleuchtet. LEDs 3, 4 und 5 zeigen die
folgenden Aktivitäten an:
LED 3 – Anwendungs-Image lädt
LED 4 – EEPROM wird initialisiert
LED 5 – Speichertest wird durchgeführt

Nach erfolgreichem Start leuchtet die Strom-LED auf. Alle anderen LEDs übernehmen daraufhin
wieder ihre betriebliche Standardfunktion.
Im seltenen Fall eines fehlgeschlagenen Systemstarts beginnen alle LEDs – bis auf die für die
fehlgeschlagene Aktivität – schnell zu blinken. So ist die Ursache leicht identifiziert.

Anbringen von Shield-Komponenten
Wenn Sie Ihren eigenen Hardware-Controller bauen möchten, können Sie für eine greifbarere
und praktischere Handhabung ein neues Shield mit Tasten, Reglern und einem Joystick kreieren.
Montieren Sie Ihr eigens angefertigtes Shield einfach auf Ihrem Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for
Arduino, indem Sie es auf die dafür vorgesehenen Leisten Ihres Shields aufstecken. Den Arten
von Steuerelementen, die Sie bauen können, sind keine Grenzen gesetzt. Es lässt sich sogar der
Schaltkreis einer alten CCU durch Ihre selbst zusammengestellte Arduino-Lösung austauschen.
Und schon haben Sie eine Kamerasteuerungseinheit nach Industriestandard.

Sie können Ihren eigenen Hardware-Controller kreieren und
diesen für eine noch interaktivere und präzisere Steuerung auf
Ihrem Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino montieren

Kommunizieren mit Ihrem Blackmagic
Shield for Arduino (English)
You can communicate with your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino via I2C or Serial.
We recommend I2C because of the low pin count and it frees up the serial monitor. This also
allows you to use more I2C devices with the shield.

High Level Overview
The library provides two core objects, BMD_SDITallyControl and BMD_SDICameraControl,
which can be used to interface with the shield’s tally and camera control functionalities. Either
or both of these objects can be created in your sketch to issue camera control commands, or
read and write tally data respectively. These objects exist in several variants, one for each of
the physical I2C or Serial communication busses the shield supports.

I2C Interface
To use the I2C interface to the shield:
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

Serial Interface
To use the Serial interface to the shield:
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ Serial
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ Serial

sdiCameraControl;
sdiTallyControl;

Note that the library will configure the Arduino serial interface at the required 38400 baud rate.
If you wish to print debug messages to the Serial Monitor when using this interface, change the
Serial Monitor baud rate to match. If the Serial Monitor is used, some binary data will be visible
as the IDE will be unable to distinguish between user messages and shield commands.

Example Usage
Once created in a sketch, these objects will allow you to issue commands to the shield over
selected bus by calling functions on the created object or objects. A minimal sketch that uses
the library via the I2C bus is shown below.
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

void setup() {
// Must be called before the objects can be used
sdiCameraControl.begin();
sdiTallyControl.begin();
// Turn on camera control overrides in the shield
sdiCameraControl.setOverride(true);
// Turn on tally overrides in the shield
sdiTallyControl.setOverride(true);
}
void loop() {
// Unused
}

The list of functions that may be called on the created objects are listed further on in this
document. Note that before use, you must call the ‘begin’ function on each object before
issuing any other commands.
Some example sketches demonstrating this library are included in the Arduino
IDE’s File‑>Examples->BMDSDIControl menu.

Studio Camera Control Protocol (English)
This section contains the Studio Camera Control Protocol from the Blackmagic Studio Camera
manual. You can use the commands in this protocol to control your Blackmagic URSA Mini or
Blackmagic Studio Camera via your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.
The Blackmagic Studio Camera Protocol shows that each camera parameter is arranged in
groups, such as:
Group ID

Group

0

Lens

1

Video

2

Audio

3

Output

4

Display

5

Tally

6

Reference

7

Configuration

8

Color Correction

10

Media

11

PTZ Control

The group ID is then used in the Arduino sketch to determine what parameter to change.
The function: sdiCameraControl.writeXXXX, is named based on what parameter you wish to
change, and the suffix used depends on what group is being controlled.
For example sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 is used for focus, aperture, zoom, audio, display,
tally and color correction when changing absolute values.
The complete syntax for this command is as follows:
sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 (
Camera number,
Group,
Parameter being controlled,
Operation,
Value
);

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified parameter
0 = assign value. The supplied Value is assigned to the specified parameter.
1 = offset value. Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the current
parameter Value.
For example:
sdiCameraControl.writeCommandFixed16(
1,
8,
0,
0,
liftAdjust
);
Studio Camera Control Protocol (English)

103

1 = camera number 1
8 = Color Correction group
0 = Lift Adjust
0 = assign value
liftAdjust = setting the value for the RGB and luma levels
As described in the protocol section, liftAdjust is a 4 element array for RED[0], GREEN[1],
BLUE[2] and LUMA[3]. The complete array is sent with this command.
The sketch examples included with the library files contain descriptive comments to explain
their operation.

Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol
Version 1.2
If you are a software developer you can use the SDI Camera Control Protocol to construct
devices that integrate with our products. Here at Blackmagic Design our approach is to open up
our protocols and we eagerly look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Overview
The Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol is used by ATEM switchers, Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino and Blackmagic Camera Remote to provide Camera Control functionality
with supported Blackmagic Design cameras. Please refer to the ‘Understanding Studio Camera
Control’ section in the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and URSA Mini manuals, or the
ATEM Switchers Manual and ATEM Switchers SDK manual for more information. These can be
downloaded at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
This document describes an extensible protocol for sending a uni directional stream of small
control messages embedded in the non-active picture region of a digital video stream. The
video stream containing the protocol stream may be broadcast to a number of devices. Device
addressing is used to allow the sender to specify which device each message is directed to.

Assumptions
Alignment and padding constraints are explicitly described in the protocol document. Bit fields
are packed from LSB first. Message groups, individual messages and command headers are
defined as, and can be assumed to be, 32 bit aligned.

Blanking Encoding
A message group is encoded into a SMPTE 291M packet with DID/SDID x51/x53 in the active
region of VANC line 16.

Message Grouping
Up to 32 messages may be concatenated and transmitted in one blanking packet up to a
maximum of 255 bytes payload. Under most circumstances, this should allow all messages to
be sent with a maximum of one frame latency.
If the transmitting device queues more bytes of message packets than can be sent in a single
frame, it should use heuristics to determine which packets to prioritize and send immediately.
Lower priority messages can be delayed to later frames, or dropped entirely as appropriate.

Abstract Message Packet Format
Every message packet consists of a three byte header followed by an optional variable length
data block. The maximum packet size is 64 bytes.

Studio Camera Control Protocol (English)

104

Destination device (uint8)

Device addresses are represented as an 8 bit unsigned integer. Individual
devices are numbered 0 through 254 with the value 255 reserved to indicate
a broadcast message to all devices.

Command length (uint8)

The command length is an 8 bit unsigned integer which specifies the length
of the included command data. The length does NOT include the length of
the header or any trailing padding bytes.

Command id (uint8)

The command id is an 8 bit unsigned integer which indicates the message
type being sent. Receiving devices should ignore any commands that they do
not understand. Commands 0 through 127 are reserved for commands that
apply to multiple types of devices. Commands 128 through 255 are device
specific.

Reserved (uint8)

This byte is reserved for alignment and expansion purposes. It should be set
to zero.

Command data (uint8[])

The command data may contain between 0 and 60 bytes of data. The format
of the data section is defined by the command itself.

Padding (uint8[])

Messages must be padded up to a 32 bit boundary with 0x0 bytes. Any
padding bytes are NOT included in the command length.

Receiving devices should use the destination device address and or the command identifier to
determine which messages to process. The receiver should use the command length to skip
irrelevant or unknown commands and should be careful to skip the implicit padding as well.

Defined Commands
Command 0 : change configuration
Category (uint8)

The category number specifies one of up to 256 configuration categories
available on the device.

Parameter (uint8)

The parameter number specifies one of 256 potential configuration
parameters available on the device. Parameters 0 through 127 are device
specific parameters. Parameters 128 though 255 are reserved for parameters
that apply to multiple types of devices.

Data type (uint8)

The data type specifies the type of the remaining data. The packet length is
used to determine the number of elements in the message. Each message
must contain an integral number of data elements.

Currently defined values are:
A void value is represented as a boolean array of length zero.
0: void / boolean

The data field is a 8 bit value with 0 meaning false and all other values
meaning true.

1: signed byte

Data elements are signed bytes

2: signed 16 bit integer

Data elements are signed 16 bit values

3: signed 32 bit integer

Data elements are signed 32 bit values

4: signed 64 bit integer

Data elements are signed 64 bit values

5: UTF-8 string

Data elements represent a UTF-8 string with no terminating character.

Studio Camera Control Protocol (English)

105

Data types 6 through 127 are reserved.

128: signed 5.11 fixed point

Data elements are signed 16 bit integers representing a real number with 5
bits for the integer component and 11 bits for the fractional component. The
fixed point representation is equal to the real value multiplied by 2^11. The
representable range is from -16.0 to 15.9995
(15 + 2047/2048).

Data types 129 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Operation type (uint8)

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified
parameter. Currently defined values are:

0: assign value

The supplied values are assigned to the specified parameter. Each element
will be clamped according to its valid range. A void parameter may only be
'assigned' an empty list of boolean type. This operation will trigger the action
associated with that parameter. A boolean value may be assigned the value
zero for false, and any other value for true.

1: offset / toggle value

Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the
current parameter values. The resulting parameter value will be clamped
according to their valid range. It is not valid to apply an offset to a void value.
Applying any offset other than zero to a boolean value will invert that value.

Operation types 2 through 127 are reserved.

Operation types 128 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Data (void)

The data field is 0 or more bytes as determined by the data type and number
of elements.

The category, parameter, data type and operation type partition a 24 bit operation space.

Primeros pasos
Colocación de los conectores
La tarjeta Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino viene con dos conectores Berg de ocho pines,
uno de diez y uno de seis. Estos se utilizan para montarla sobre la placa Arduino y además
permiten añadir otros componentes, incluidos botones, perillas o palancas de mando. Por otra
parte, su distribución brinda compatibilidad con tarjetas R3, tales como el modelo Arduino Uno.

Para colocar los conectores:
1

Inserte los pines de cada conector en los agujeros correspondientes situados a ambos
lados de la tarjeta. Consulte la siguiente ilustración para obtener más información
al respecto.

A5 (I 2 C) SCL
A4 (I 2 C) SDA

0 - Serial RX
1 - Serial TX

8 PIN

6 PIN

8 PIN
10 PIN
(I 2 C) SDA
(I 2 C) SCL

NOTA: La comunicación con la placa se realiza mediante la interfaz
serial o I2C. Recomendamos la segunda opción, dado que permite
utilizar el Monitor Serie. Por otra parte, de esta forma los restantes pines
estarán disponibles. Seleccione el modo de comunicación al definir
el objeto BMDSDIControl en el entorno de programación. Consulte el
apartado correspondiente en este manual para obtener más
información al respecto.

2

Suelde la base de cada conector a la parte inferior de la tarjeta. Cada patilla metálica
debe quedar firme, pero compruebe que la soldadura no esté en contacto con otras
adyacentes.

Primeros pasos 121

SUGERENCIA: Para garantizar que todas las patillas metálicas de los
conectores en la tarjeta se encuentren alineadas con las ranuras
correspondientes en la placa Arduino, es aconsejable soldar un pin de
cada conector en primer lugar. A continuación, coloque la tarjeta sobre
la placa y verifique la alineación. Si es necesario ajustar uno de los
conectores, caliente la soldadura correspondiente y mejore su posición.
Esto es más sencillo que soldar todas las conexiones primero y luego
tratar de realizar ajustes.

Montaje sobre la placa Arduino
Luego de soldar los conectores, la tarjeta puede colocarse sobre la placa Arduino.
Sostenga cuidadosamente la tarjeta de los costados y compruebe que los conectores en
ambos dispositivos estén alineados. A continuación, inserte las patillas metálicas en los
agujeros correspondientes y empuje la tarjeta con suavidad. Tenga precaución de no doblar
los pines al colocar la tarjeta sobre la placa.

Una vez que los conectores se han acoplado, ambos dispositivos
deberían quedar unidos con firmeza.

Conexión del cable de alimentación
Conecte un transformador de 12 voltios para suministrar corriente eléctrica a la tarjeta.

NOTA: La energía eléctrica suministrada a la placa Arduino mediante
una fuente de alimentación no es suficiente para el funcionamiento de
la tarjeta. Sin embargo, si se conecta esta última a dicha fuente, es
posible alimentar ambos dispositivos.

Primeros pasos 122

Conexión de dispositivos SDI
Una vez que la tarjeta cuenta con una fuente de suministro eléctrico, es posible conectarla
a otros dispositivos tales como mezcladores o cámaras Blackmagic URSA Mini.
1

Conecte la salida principal del mezclador a la entrada SDI en la tarjeta.

2

Conecte la salida SDI de la tarjeta a la entrada PGM de la cámara.

El siguiente diagrama ilustra las conexiones entre los equipos.

SDI IN
SDI OUT

Instalación de librerías para Arduino 125

Programa Blackmagic Shield for Arduino

Al instalar el programa Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup, podrá modificar
ciertos ajustes de la tarjeta, tales como la dirección I2C y el formato de video.

Al instalar el programa Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup en el equipo informático, podrá
modificar ciertos ajustes de la tarjeta. Estos incluyen la dirección I2C, que identifica la unidad
para facilitar la comunicación con la placa Arduino, y el formato de video, que determina el tipo
de señal transmitida por el dispositivo.

Dirección I2C
En raras ocasiones, cabe la posibilidad de que otra unidad montada sobre la tarjeta de
Blackmagic comparta la misma dirección I2C predeterminada, lo cual generará un conflicto.
En este caso, es posible modificar dicho parámetro.

Programa Blackmagic Shield for Arduino 126

La dirección predeterminada de la tarjeta es 0x6E. Sin embargo, el usuario puede escoger
cualquier otra dentro del rango 0x08 - 0x77.
Para cambiar la dirección de la tarjeta:
1

Ejecute el programa Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup y haga clic en el ícono
de configuración.

2

En la opción Set address to:, ingrese la dirección que desea utilizar.

3

Haga clic en el botón Save.

Formato de video
Si no se detecta una señal entrante, la opción Default output format indica el formato
predeterminado. Al conectar una señal, el formato cambiará automáticamente para que
coincida con la misma. Cuando el cable se desconecta, esta opción vuelve a mostrar el
parámetro por defecto. Para seleccionar un formato determinado, haga clic en el menú
desplegable situado a la derecha.
Es posible seleccionar cualquiera de los siguientes formatos:

Entorno de programación
Arduino facilita en gran medida el desarrollo del código. Este se escribe empleando el lenguaje
de programación C. Al utilizar los comandos del protocolo de control Studio Camera, estos se
integran en la señal SDI saliente, permitiendo de tal modo controlar unidades Blackmagic
URSA Mini o Blackmagic Studio Camera.
Todos los comandos compatibles que pueden emplearse para escribir el código se detallan
más adelante en este manual.

Cómo comprobar el funcionamiento
de la tarjeta
Luego de realizar todos los procedimientos descritos en el apartado «Primeros pasos» e
instalar tanto el programa de configuración como las librerías, es preciso comprobar si la tarjeta
efectivamente se comunica con la placa Arduino.
Una forma rápida de lograr este cometido es ejecutar el código ilustrativo para luces piloto.
Para ello, siga los pasos descritos a continuación:
1

Ejecute la aplicación Arduino IDE.

2

En el menú Herramientas, seleccione la placa y el puerto.

3

En el menú Archivo, seleccione la opción Ejemplos, luego BMDSDIControl y a
continuación TallyBlink.

4

Cargue el programa en la placa.

Este ejemplo proporciona una manera rápida y efectiva de comprobar si la tarjeta
funciona correctamente. Los datos pueden transmitirse mediante la interfaz I2C
empleando comandos del protocolo Studio Camera, aunque también proporcionamos
librerías particulares a efectos de facilitar la programación.

Cómo comprobar el funcionamiento de la tarjeta 128

NOTA: Compruebe que el número asignado a la luz piloto sea 1.

La luz piloto del modelo Blackmagic Studio Camera debería parpadear cada un segundo.
Si esto sucede, es posible afirmar que la comunicación entre la tarjeta y la placa Arduino
se ha establecido de manera correcta.
En caso contrario, compruebe que el número asignado a la luz piloto sea 1.
Visite la página de soporte técnico en nuestro sitio web para obtener más información
al respecto: www.blackmagicdesign.com/es/support. De forma alternativa, consulte el
apartado «Ayuda» para ver las distintas maneras en las que es posible procurar asistencia.

Indicadores luminosos

8 PIN

	LED 1 - Sistema activo
Este indicador se enciende cuando hay una fuente de alimentación conectada
a la tarjeta.
	LED 2 - Control anula función activa
Este indicador se enciende cuando el código escrito en el entorno de programación
de Arduino permite controlar la cámara.
	LED 3 - Luz piloto anula función activa
Este indicador se enciende cuando el código escrito en el entorno de programación
de Arduino permite controlar la luz piloto.
	LED 5 - Analizador I2C activo
Este indicador se enciende cuando se establece una comunicación entre la tarjeta
y la placa Arduino mediante el protocolo I2C.
	LED 6 - Analizador serial activo
Este indicador se enciende cuando se establece una comunicación mediante
el dispositivo UART.
Al reiniciar la tarjeta, el indicador 1 permanece apagado. Los indicadores 3, 4 y 5 brindan
la siguiente información:
	LED 3 - Cargando imagen de la aplicación
LED 4 - Iniciando EEPROM
LED 5 - Verificando memoria

Cómo comprobar el funcionamiento de la tarjeta 129

A continuación, el indicador 1 se enciende y los restantes indicadores asumen sus funciones
predeterminadas.
En caso de que ocurra un error al reiniciar la tarjeta, todos los indicadores parpadearán
rápidamente, a excepción de aquel que indica la causa de la falla. Esto brinda la posibilidad
de identificarla fácilmente.

Montaje de otros componentes
Es posible crear controladores personalizados con botones, perillas y palancas de mando que
faciliten su manejo. A tales efectos, basta con montar estos dispositivos a la tarjeta Blackmagic
3G-SDI Shield for Arduino insertando los conectores en las ranuras correspondientes. No hay
limitaciones en cuanto al diseño de los controladores. Incluso se pueden remplazar los circuitos
de una unidad de control de cámaras con una solución basada en la plataforma Arduino para
adaptarla a las necesidades particulares de un determinado proyecto.

Es posible crear controladores personalizados y montarlos
sobre la tarjeta Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino para
lograr una mayor interactividad y precisión.

Comunicación con la tarjeta
La comunicación con la tarjeta puede establecerse mediante un bus serial o I2C.
Recomendamos la segunda opción, dado que presenta una menor cantidad de pines. Además,
de este modo, el Monitor Serie estará disponible. A su vez, esto permite utilizar otros equipos
I2C con la tarjeta.

Interfaces de alto nivel
La librería contiene dos objetos principales: BMD_SDITallyControl y BMD_SDICameraControl.
Estos permiten activar las funcionalidades para la luz piloto y el control de las cámaras en la
tarjeta. Ambos pueden crearse mediante el entorno de programación de Arduino para
transmitir los comandos correspondientes. Existen distintas variantes de estos objetos para
cada bus serial o I2C.

Montaje de otros componentes 130

Interfaz I2C
Para utilizar la interfaz I2C:
// NOTE: Must match address set in the setup utility software
const intshieldAddress = 0x6E;
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

Interfaz serial
Para utilizar la interfaz serial:
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ Serial
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ Serial

sdiCameraControl;
sdiTallyControl;

Nótese que la librería determinará la interfaz serial según la velocidad de baudios requerida
(38 400). Para enviar mensajes de depuración al Monitor Serie cuando se emplea esta interfaz,
modifique este parámetro según corresponda. Al utilizar el Monitor Serie, es posible que
aparezcan datos binarios, dado que el entorno de programación no será capaz de distinguir
entre los comandos y los mensajes del usuario.

Ejemplo de uso
Una vez creados en el entorno de programación, estos objetos permitirán transmitir comandos
a la tarjeta mediante el bus seleccionado para activar determinadas funcionalidades.
A continuación se proporciona un breve ejemplo de código que utiliza la librería mediante
el bus I2C.
// NOTE: Must match address set in the setup utility software
const intshieldAddress = 0x6E;
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);
void setup() {
// Must be called before the objects can be used
sdiCameraControl.begin();
sdiTallyControl.begin();
// Turn on camera control overrides in the shield
sdiCameraControl.setOverride(true);
// Turn on tally overrides in the shield
sdiTallyControl.setOverride(true);
}
void loop() {
// Unused
}

Las funciones compatibles con estos objetos se detallan más adelante en este manual. Nótese
que, en primer lugar, deberá ejecutar la función begin para cada objeto antes de transmitir
cualquier otro comando.
En el entorno de programación de Arduino se incluyen otros ejemplos ilustrativos. Para
acceder a los mismos, seleccione BMDSDIControl en la opción Ejemplos del menú Archivo.

Protocolo de control Studio Camera
Este apartado contiene el protocolo de control detallado en el manual del modelo Studio
Camera. Los comandos permiten manejar tanto dicha unidad como la cámara Blackmagic
URSA Mini a través de la tarjeta Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.
Cada parámetro corresponde a un grupo determinado según se describe a continuación:

El número identificatorio se utiliza en el entorno de programación de Arduino para determinar
el parámetro que se modifica.
La función sdiCameraControl.writeXXXX se denomina a partir del valor que se desea cambiar,
y el sufijo depende del grupo controlado.
A modo de ejemplo, sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 se emplea para el enfoque, la apertura
del diafragma, la distancia focal, la pantalla, la luz piloto y el etalonaje al modificar valores
absolutos.
La sintaxis completa para este comando es la siguiente:
sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 (
Camera number,
Group,
Parameter being controlled,
Operation,
Value
);

El tipo de operación especifica la acción realizada en el parámetro indicado.
0 = valor asignado. El valor suministrado se asigna al parámetro indicado.
1 = valor de compensación. Cada valor especifica la compensación que se añade al
parámetro «Valor».
Por ejemplo:
sdiCameraControl.writeCommandFixed16(
1,
8,
0,
0,
liftAdjust
);
Protocolo de control Studio Camera 132

1 = camera number 1
8 = Color Correction group
0 = Lift Adjust
0 = assign value
liftAdjust = setting the value for the RGB and luma levels

Según se describe en el protocolo, liftAdjust es una secuencia de cuatro elementos: RED[0],
GREEN[1], BLUE[2] y LUMA[3]. La secuencia completa se envía con el comando.
Los ejemplos de código incluidos en los archivos de la librería contienen elementos
descriptivos que explican su funcionamiento.

Protocolo de control SDI de cámaras de Blackmagic
Version 1.2
El protocolo de control facilita la integración de nuestros productos con otros dispositivos.
Nuestra filosofía es mantener los protocolos abiertos para facilitar la colaboración entre
usuarios durante los procesos creativos.

Descripción general
El protocolo de control permite manejar cámaras de Blackmagic Design compatibles con el
mezclador ATEM, la tarjeta 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino y Blackmagic Camera Remote.Consulte
la sección Descripción general sobre el control de cámaras en los manuales de los modelos
URSA Broadcast y URSA Mini, de los mezcladores ATEM o del kit de herramientas ATEM para
obtener más información al respecto. Dicho material está disponible en la página
www.blackmagicdesign.com/es/support.
Este documento describe un protocolo expansible para enviar mensajes cortos integrados en
la parte de la señal digital que no contiene información visual. El protocolo puede transmitirse
a distintos dispositivos. El equipo al que debe enviarse el mensaje se determina mediante un
proceso de direccionamiento.

Presunciones
El documento del protocolo describe las limitaciones en cuanto a la compensación y la
alineación de la información. Los grupos de bits se ordenan comenzando por el bit menos
importante (LSB). Se asume que los grupos de mensajes, mensajes individuales y encabezados
de comandos se encuentran optimizados para sistemas de 32 bits.

Codificación en el intervalo de supresión
Los grupos de mensajes se codifican en un paquete SMPTE 291M, con DID/SDID x51/x53 en
la región activa de la línea 16 correspondiente al espacio vertical para datos auxiliares (VANC).

Agrupamiento de mensajes
Es posible concatenar y enviar hasta 32 mensajes en un paquete, con una carga útil máxima
de 255 bytes. En la mayoría de los casos, esto permite transmitir todos los mensajes en un
fotograma como máximo.
Si la cantidad de paquetes de mensajes que el dispositivo intenta transmitir es mayor al número
de bytes que pueden incluirse en un fotograma, será necesario utilizar métodos heurísticos
para determinar cuáles tienen prioridad. Los mensajes menos importantes pueden transmitirse
en fotogramas posteriores o ignorarse por completo según sea necesario.

Formato abstracto de los paquetes
Cada paquete de mensajes consiste en un encabezado de 3 bytes, seguido de un bloque
de datos opcional de longitud variable. El tamaño máximo de los paquetes es de 64 bytes.

Protocolo de control Studio Camera 133

Dispositivo de destino
(uint8)
Longitud del comando

Se reservan los tipos de datos 6 a 127.

128: con signo 5.11 punto fijo

Los elementos de datos se representan mediante enteros de 16 bits con signo que
corresponden a un número real. Se utilizan 5 bits para el componente entero y 11 bits para
la fracción. La representación del punto fijo equivale al valor real multiplicado por 2^11.
El rango representado va de -16.0 a 15.9995 (15 + 2047/2048).

Los números 129 al 255 se asignan a comandos para dispositivos específicos.
Tipo de operación (uint8)

El tipo de operación especifica la acción realizada en el parámetro indicado.
Los valores definidos actualmente son los siguientes:

0: valor asignado

Los valores suministrados se asignan al parámetro indicado. Cada elemento se adjunta
según su rango válido. Solo es posible «asignar» una lista vacía de tipo booleano a
un parámetro nulo. Esta operación producirá la acción vinculada a dicho parámetro.
Un valor booleano puede ser 0 para falso o cualquier otro número para verdadero.

1: valor de compensación/
alternancia

Cada valor especifica la compensación que se añade al parámetro «Valor». El valor
resultante se restringe según el rango válido. No es posible aplicar una compensación
a un valor nulo. Al aplicar cualquier otra compensación distinta de 0 a un valor booleano,
este se invertirá.

Se reservan los tipos de operaciones 2 a 127.

Los tipos de operaciones 128 a 255 se asignan a comandos para dispositivos específicos.
El campo de datos es 0 o más bytes según el tipo de información y la cantidad
de elementos.

入门
安装并焊接排针连接器
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino内附4个堆叠式排针连接器,包括两个8针连接器、一个10针
连接器以及一个6针连接器。排针连接器相当于电桥连接器,您可通过它将盾板安装到Arduino开
发板上。由于连接器可相互堆叠,因此您还可以再添加其他盾板来安装更多元件,如控制按钮、
旋钮以及操纵杆等。这些排针连接器的布局可实现R3式连接方案,比如Arduino UNO。

如何为盾板安装排针连接器:
1

将每个排针连接器上的引脚插入Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield盾板每一侧相应的针孔内。
请参考下图的示范完成排针连接器布局。

1 - Serial TX

备注 连接盾板时,可使用I2C通信或串行通信。我们推荐您使用I2C通信,
因为这一方案可使用串口监视器,从而能更好地利用其它引脚。您可以在
Sketch中定义BMDSDIControl时选择通信模式。请阅读“Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino盾板的通信”章节了解详细信息。

2

将每个连接器底部的引脚焊接到盾板反面。请确保每个引脚与针孔焊接牢固,并且不接触
到邻近的引脚。

入门 150

提示 为有助于确保盾板上的所有引脚都能与Arduino开发板连接器上的排针母座
对齐,请先焊接每个排针连接器上的一个引脚。然后,将盾板放置于Arduino开发板
上,检查引脚对齐情况。如果需要调整任何排针连接器,您可以预热相应拍针连接
器上的焊接点来改善对齐情况。这比完成所有排针焊接之后再进行调整要容易得多。

安装Arduino开发板
将排针连接器焊接到盾板上之后,您就可以将3G-SDI盾板安装到Arduino开发板上了。
小心握住盾板两侧,将它的连接器引脚与Arduino开发板的连接器对齐,并轻轻推按到连接器插槽
内。请注意,切勿在安装过程中将任何引脚压弯。

完全插入之后,Blackmagic盾板和Arduino开发板之
间应已紧密牢固连接。

获得一个符合工业标准的摄影机控制单元。

您可以创建自己的硬件控制器,并将其插入Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino上获得更为互动且精细的控制。

Blackmagic Shield for Arduino盾板的通信
You can communicate with your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino via I2C or Serial. We
recommend I2C because of the low pin count and it frees up the serial monitor. This also allows
you to use more I2C devices with the shield.

High Level Overview
The library provides two core objects, BMD_SDITallyControl and BMD_SDICameraControl,
which can be used to interface with the shield’s tally and camera control functionalities. Either
or both of these objects can be created in your sketch to issue camera control commands, or
read and write tally data respectively. These objects exist in several variants, one for each of
the physical I2C or Serial communication busses the shield supports.

安装盾板元件 159

I2C Interface
To use the I2C interface to the shield:
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

Serial Interface
To use the Serial interface to the shield:
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ Serial
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ Serial

sdiCameraControl;
sdiTallyControl;

Note that the library will configure the Arduino serial interface at the required 38400 baud rate.
If you wish to print debug messages to the Serial Monitor when using this interface, change the
Serial Monitor baud rate to match. If the Serial Monitor is used, some binary data will be visible
as the IDE will be unable to distinguish between user messages and shield commands.

Example Usage
Once created in a sketch, these objects will allow you to issue commands to the shield over
selected bus by calling functions on the created object or objects. A minimal sketch that uses
the library via the I2C bus is shown below.
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

void setup() {
// Must be called before the objects can be used
sdiCameraControl.begin();
sdiTallyControl.begin();
// Turn on camera control overrides in the shield
sdiCameraControl.setOverride(true);
// Turn on tally overrides in the shield
sdiTallyControl.setOverride(true);
}
void loop() {
// Unused
}

The list of functions that may be called on the created objects are listed further on in this
document. Note that before use, you must call the ‘begin’ function on each object before
issuing any other commands.
Some example sketches demonstrating this library are included in the Arduino
IDE’s File‑>Examples->BMDSDIControl menu.

Studio Camera Control Protocol控制协议
This section contains the Studio Camera Control Protocol from the Blackmagic Studio Camera
manual. You can use the commands in this protocol to control your Blackmagic URSA Mini or
Blackmagic Studio Camera via your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.
The Blackmagic Studio Camera Protocol shows that each camera parameter is arranged in
groups, such as:
Group ID

Group

0

Lens

1

Video

2

Audio

3

Output

4

Display

5

Tally

6

Reference

7

Configuration

8

Color Correction

10

Media

11

PTZ Control

The group ID is then used in the Arduino sketch to determine what parameter to change.
The function: sdiCameraControl.writeXXXX, is named based on what parameter you wish to
change, and the suffix used depends on what group is being controlled.
For example sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 is used for focus, aperture, zoom, audio, display,
tally and color correction when changing absolute values.
The complete syntax for this command is as follows:
sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 (
Camera number,
Group,
Parameter being controlled,
Operation,
Value
);

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified parameter
0 = assign value. The supplied Value is assigned to the specified parameter.
1 = offset value. Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the current
parameter Value.
For example:
sdiCameraControl.writeCommandFixed16(
1,
8,
0,
0,
liftAdjust
);
Studio Camera Control Protocol控制协议 161

1 = camera number 1
8 = Color Correction group
0 = Lift Adjust
0 = assign value
liftAdjust = setting the value for the RGB and luma levels
As described in the protocol section, liftAdjust is a 4 element array for RED[0], GREEN[1],
BLUE[2] and LUMA[3]. The complete array is sent with this command.
The sketch examples included with the library files contain descriptive comments to explain
their operation.

Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol
Version 1.2
If you are a software developer you can use the SDI Camera Control Protocol to construct
devices that integrate with our products. Here at Blackmagic Design our approach is to open up
our protocols and we eagerly look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Overview
The Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol is used by ATEM switchers, Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino and Blackmagic Camera Remote to provide Camera Control functionality
with supported Blackmagic Design cameras. Please refer to the ‘Understanding Studio Camera
Control’ section in the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and URSA Mini manuals, or the
ATEM Switchers Manual and ATEM Switchers SDK manual for more information. These can be
downloaded at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
This document describes an extensible protocol for sending a uni directional stream of small
control messages embedded in the non-active picture region of a digital video stream. The
video stream containing the protocol stream may be broadcast to a number of devices. Device
addressing is used to allow the sender to specify which device each message is directed to.

Assumptions
Alignment and padding constraints are explicitly described in the protocol document. Bit fields
are packed from LSB first. Message groups, individual messages and command headers are
defined as, and can be assumed to be, 32 bit aligned.

Blanking Encoding
A message group is encoded into a SMPTE 291M packet with DID/SDID x51/x53 in the active
region of VANC line 16.

Message Grouping
Up to 32 messages may be concatenated and transmitted in one blanking packet up to a
maximum of 255 bytes payload. Under most circumstances, this should allow all messages to
be sent with a maximum of one frame latency.
If the transmitting device queues more bytes of message packets than can be sent in a single
frame, it should use heuristics to determine which packets to prioritize and send immediately.
Lower priority messages can be delayed to later frames, or dropped entirely as appropriate.

Abstract Message Packet Format
Every message packet consists of a three byte header followed by an optional variable length
data block. The maximum packet size is 64 bytes.

Studio Camera Control Protocol控制协议 162

Destination device (uint8)

Device addresses are represented as an 8 bit unsigned integer. Individual
devices are numbered 0 through 254 with the value 255 reserved to indicate
a broadcast message to all devices.

Command length (uint8)

The command length is an 8 bit unsigned integer which specifies the length
of the included command data. The length does NOT include the length of
the header or any trailing padding bytes.

Command id (uint8)

The command id is an 8 bit unsigned integer which indicates the message
type being sent. Receiving devices should ignore any commands that they do
not understand. Commands 0 through 127 are reserved for commands that
apply to multiple types of devices. Commands 128 through 255 are device
specific.

Reserved (uint8)

This byte is reserved for alignment and expansion purposes. It should be set
to zero.

Command data (uint8[])

The command data may contain between 0 and 60 bytes of data. The format
of the data section is defined by the command itself.

Padding (uint8[])

Messages must be padded up to a 32 bit boundary with 0x0 bytes. Any
padding bytes are NOT included in the command length.

Receiving devices should use the destination device address and or the command identifier to
determine which messages to process. The receiver should use the command length to skip
irrelevant or unknown commands and should be careful to skip the implicit padding as well.

Defined Commands
Command 0 : change configuration
Category (uint8)

The category number specifies one of up to 256 configuration categories
available on the device.

Parameter (uint8)

The parameter number specifies one of 256 potential configuration
parameters available on the device. Parameters 0 through 127 are device
specific parameters. Parameters 128 though 255 are reserved for parameters
that apply to multiple types of devices.

Data type (uint8)

The data type specifies the type of the remaining data. The packet length is
used to determine the number of elements in the message. Each message
must contain an integral number of data elements.

Currently defined values are:
A void value is represented as a boolean array of length zero.
0: void / boolean

The data field is a 8 bit value with 0 meaning false and all other values
meaning true.

1: signed byte

Data elements are signed bytes

2: signed 16 bit integer

Data elements are signed 16 bit values

3: signed 32 bit integer

Data elements are signed 32 bit values

4: signed 64 bit integer

Data elements are signed 64 bit values

5: UTF-8 string

Data elements represent a UTF-8 string with no terminating character.

Studio Camera Control Protocol控制协议 163

Data types 6 through 127 are reserved.

128: signed 5.11 fixed point

Data elements are signed 16 bit integers representing a real number with 5
bits for the integer component and 11 bits for the fractional component. The
fixed point representation is equal to the real value multiplied by 2^11. The
representable range is from -16.0 to 15.9995
(15 + 2047/2048).

Data types 129 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Operation type (uint8)

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified
parameter. Currently defined values are:

0: assign value

The supplied values are assigned to the specified parameter. Each element
will be clamped according to its valid range. A void parameter may only be
'assigned' an empty list of boolean type. This operation will trigger the action
associated with that parameter. A boolean value may be assigned the value
zero for false, and any other value for true.

1: offset / toggle value

Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the
current parameter values. The resulting parameter value will be clamped
according to their valid range. It is not valid to apply an offset to a void value.
Applying any offset other than zero to a boolean value will invert that value.

Operation types 2 through 127 are reserved.

Operation types 128 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Data (void)

The data field is 0 or more bytes as determined by the data type and number
of elements.

The category, parameter, data type and operation type partition a 24 bit operation space.

Blackmagic
3G-SDI Shield
for Arduino
2018년 06월
한국어

환영합니다.
새로운 Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino를 구입해 주셔서 감사합니다.
저희는 늘 새로운 기술에 관심을 갖고 있으며 모든 창의적인 방식으로 자사 SDI 제품을 사용할
수 있게 되어 상당히 기쁩니다. 이제 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino를 사용해 Arduino를 SDI
워크플로에 통합하여 Blackmagic Design 장비를 제어할 수 있는 더욱 다양한 옵션을 얻을 수
있습니다.
예를 들어, SDI 신호에 임베드된 데이터 패킷을 통해 ATEM 스위처에서 Blackmagic URSA Mini
와 Blackmagic Studio Camera를 제어할 수 있습니다. ATEM 스위처를 사용하진 않지만 여전히
Blackmagic 카메라를 제어하고자 할 경우 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino를 사용해 자신만의 커스텀
컨트롤 솔루션을 구축할 수 있습니다. 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino를 SDI 플랫폼으로 사용할 수
있어 쉴드를 통해 스위처의 프로그램 리턴 피드를 Blackmagic 카메라 프로그램 입력으로 루프
출력할 수 있습니다.
카메라에 명령어를 전송하는 코드는 쉽게 작성할 수 있으며 모든 지원 명령어는 본 사용
설명서에서 확인할 수 있습니다.
카메라는 컴퓨터에서 제어할 수 있습니다. 또 다른 방법으로 쉴드에 버튼과 노브, 조이스틱을
추가하여 강력한 하드웨어 컨트롤러를 구축하면 렌즈 초점 및 줌, 조리개 설정, 페디스털 및
화이트 밸런스 제어, 카메라에 내장된 강력한 컬러 커렉터 등의 기능을 조절할 수 있습니다.
자신만의 커스텀 컨트롤러를 구축하면 프로덕션에 도움이 될 뿐만 아니라 아주 재미있게 사용할
수 있습니다.
저희는 이러한 놀라운 기술을 제공할 수 있게 된 것을 아주 기쁘게 생각하며 3G-SDI Shield for
Arduino를 위해 사용자들의 SDI 컨트롤러 제작 후기 또한 항상 기다리고 있습니다.
본 설명서에는 Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino 사용에 필요한 모든 정보가 담겨있습니다.
자사 웹사이트 www.blackmagicdesign.com/kr 고객 지원 페이지에서 최신 버전의 사용 설명서와
쉴드의 내부 소프트웨어 업데이트를 확인하실 수 있습니다. 소프트웨어 업데이트를 통해 모든
새로운 기능을 이용하실 수 있습니다. 소프트웨어를 다운로드할 때 사용자 정보를 등록하시면
새로운 소프트웨어가 출시될 때마다 업데이트 소식을 받아보실 수 있습니다. 저희는 새로운 기능
및 제품 향상을 위해 끊임없이 노력하고 있으며, 항상 고객 여러분의 의견을 기다립니다!

헤더 장착 및 납땜하기
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino는 다른 쉴드를 쌓아 올릴 수 있는 8핀 헤더 두 개, 10핀
헤더 한 개, 6핀 헤더 한 개 등 총 4개의 헤더와 함께 제공됩니다. 헤더는 쉴드를 Arduino 보드에
장착하기 위한 연결 커넥터이며 그 위에 쉴드를 쌓아 올릴 수 있도록 설계되어 제어 버튼과 노브,
조이스틱 등의 추가 구성 요소가 담긴 쉴드를 장착할 수 있습니다. 헤더는 Arduino UNO와 같은
R3 크기의 Arduino 보드에 장착할 수 있도록 설계되었습니다.

헤더를 쉴드에 장착하는 방법은 다음과 같습니다.
1

Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield 각 면의 핀 홀에 맞는 헤더의 핀을 삽입하세요. 헤더의
레이아웃 배열은 아래 그림을 참고하세요.

참고 쉴드에 연결할 경우 I2C 또는 Serial을 통해 통신합니다. 시리얼 모니터를
사용할 수 있고 다른 모든 핀들을 활용할 수 있는 I2C를 사용할 것을 권장합니다.
스케치에서 BMDSDIControl 항목을 설정할 경우 통신 모드를 선택하세요. 더
자세한 정보는 [Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino와 통신하기]
부분을 참고하세요.

2

각 헤더 핀의 바닥 면을 쉴드 아래쪽에서 납땜합니다. 핀 홀과 각 핀이 확실히
연결되도록 납땜하되 주변의 다른 핀에 닿지 않도록 주의하세요.

시작하기

179

정보 쉴드의 모든 핀이 Arduino 보드의 헤더 핀 슬롯(암)에 잘 맞춰지도록
하려면 각 헤더의 핀을 하나씩만 먼저 납땜하는 것이 좋습니다. 이제 쉴드를
Arduino 보드 위에 놓고 핀 정렬 상태를 확인하세요. 조정이 필요한 헤더를
발견하면 해당 헤더의 납땜 부위를 녹여 위치를 조정하세요. 이는 모든 부위를
한 번에 납땜한 뒤에 다시 조정하는 것보다 훨씬 수월합니다.

Arduino 보드에 장착하기
헤더를 쉴드에 납땜했으므로 이제 3G-SDI 쉴드를 Arduino 보드에 장착할 수 있습니다.
쉴드의 양옆을 조심스럽게 잡고 헤더 핀을 Arduino 보드의 헤더와 잘 맞춘 뒤, 핀을 헤더 슬롯에
부드럽게 밀어 넣습니다. 쉴드를 장착하는 동안 핀이 구부러지지 않도록 주의하세요.

모든 핀을 꼽으면 Blackmagic 쉴드와 Arduino
보드가 안정적으로 연결됩니다.

전원 연결하기
12V 전원 어댑터를 Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino의 12V 전원 입력에 연결하기만 하면
전원이 공급됩니다.

참고 Arduino 보드에 전원을 연결하면 Blackmagic 쉴드에 충분한 전력을
공급하지 못하지만 Blackmagic 쉴드에 연결하면 Arduino에도 충분한 전력을
공급하므로 반드시 Blackmagic 쉴드에 전원을 연결하세요.

Communicating with Blackmagic
Shield for Arduino
You can communicate with your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino via I2C or Serial. We
recommend I2C because of the low pin count and it frees up the serial monitor. This also allows
you to use more I2C devices with the shield.

High Level Overview
The library provides two core objects, BMD_SDITallyControl and BMD_SDICameraControl,
which can be used to interface with the shield’s tally and camera control functionalities. Either
or both of these objects can be created in your sketch to issue camera control commands, or
read and write tally data respectively. These objects exist in several variants, one for each of
the physical I2C or Serial communication busses the shield supports.

쉴드 부품 장착하기

188

I2C Interface
To use the I2C interface to the shield:
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

Serial Interface
To use the Serial interface to the shield:
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ Serial
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ Serial

sdiCameraControl;
sdiTallyControl;

Note that the library will configure the Arduino serial interface at the required 38400 baud rate.
If you wish to print debug messages to the Serial Monitor when using this interface, change the
Serial Monitor baud rate to match. If the Serial Monitor is used, some binary data will be visible
as the IDE will be unable to distinguish between user messages and shield commands.

Example Usage
Once created in a sketch, these objects will allow you to issue commands to the shield over
selected bus by calling functions on the created object or objects. A minimal sketch that uses
the library via the I2C bus is shown below.
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

void setup() {
// Must be called before the objects can be used
sdiCameraControl.begin();
sdiTallyControl.begin();
// Turn on camera control overrides in the shield
sdiCameraControl.setOverride(true);
// Turn on tally overrides in the shield
sdiTallyControl.setOverride(true);
}
void loop() {
// Unused
}

The list of functions that may be called on the created objects are listed further on in this
document. Note that before use, you must call the ‘begin’ function on each object before
issuing any other commands.
Some example sketches demonstrating this library are included in the Arduino
IDE’s File‑>Examples->BMDSDIControl menu.

Studio Camera Control Protocol
This section contains the Studio Camera Control Protocol from the Blackmagic Studio Camera
manual. You can use the commands in this protocol to control your Blackmagic URSA Mini or
Blackmagic Studio Camera via your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.
The Blackmagic Studio Camera Protocol shows that each camera parameter is arranged in
groups, such as:
Group ID

Group

0

Lens

1

Video

2

Audio

3

Output

4

Display

5

Tally

6

Reference

7

Configuration

8

Color Correction

10

Media

11

PTZ Control

The group ID is then used in the Arduino sketch to determine what parameter to change.
The function: sdiCameraControl.writeXXXX, is named based on what parameter you wish to
change, and the suffix used depends on what group is being controlled.
For example sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 is used for focus, aperture, zoom, audio, display,
tally and color correction when changing absolute values.
The complete syntax for this command is as follows:
sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 (
Camera number,
Group,
Parameter being controlled,
Operation,
Value
);

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified parameter
0 = assign value. The supplied Value is assigned to the specified parameter.
1 = offset value. Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the current
parameter Value.
For example:
sdiCameraControl.writeCommandFixed16(
1,
8,
0,
0,
liftAdjust
);
Studio Camera Control Protocol

190

1 = camera number 1
8 = Color Correction group
0 = Lift Adjust
0 = assign value
liftAdjust = setting the value for the RGB and luma levels
As described in the protocol section, liftAdjust is a 4 element array for RED[0], GREEN[1],
BLUE[2] and LUMA[3]. The complete array is sent with this command.
The sketch examples included with the library files contain descriptive comments to explain
their operation.

Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol
Version 1.2
If you are a software developer you can use the SDI Camera Control Protocol to construct
devices that integrate with our products. Here at Blackmagic Design our approach is to open up
our protocols and we eagerly look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Overview
The Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol is used by ATEM switchers, Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino and Blackmagic Camera Remote to provide Camera Control functionality
with supported Blackmagic Design cameras. Please refer to the ‘Understanding Studio Camera
Control’ section in the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and URSA Mini manuals, or the
ATEM Switchers Manual and ATEM Switchers SDK manual for more information. These can be
downloaded at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
This document describes an extensible protocol for sending a uni directional stream of small
control messages embedded in the non-active picture region of a digital video stream. The
video stream containing the protocol stream may be broadcast to a number of devices. Device
addressing is used to allow the sender to specify which device each message is directed to.

Assumptions
Alignment and padding constraints are explicitly described in the protocol document. Bit fields
are packed from LSB first. Message groups, individual messages and command headers are
defined as, and can be assumed to be, 32 bit aligned.

Blanking Encoding
A message group is encoded into a SMPTE 291M packet with DID/SDID x51/x53 in the active
region of VANC line 16.

Message Grouping
Up to 32 messages may be concatenated and transmitted in one blanking packet up to a
maximum of 255 bytes payload. Under most circumstances, this should allow all messages to
be sent with a maximum of one frame latency.
If the transmitting device queues more bytes of message packets than can be sent in a single
frame, it should use heuristics to determine which packets to prioritize and send immediately.
Lower priority messages can be delayed to later frames, or dropped entirely as appropriate.

Abstract Message Packet Format
Every message packet consists of a three byte header followed by an optional variable length
data block. The maximum packet size is 64 bytes.

Studio Camera Control Protocol

191

Destination device (uint8)

Device addresses are represented as an 8 bit unsigned integer. Individual
devices are numbered 0 through 254 with the value 255 reserved to indicate
a broadcast message to all devices.

Command length (uint8)

The command length is an 8 bit unsigned integer which specifies the length
of the included command data. The length does NOT include the length of
the header or any trailing padding bytes.

Command id (uint8)

The command id is an 8 bit unsigned integer which indicates the message
type being sent. Receiving devices should ignore any commands that they do
not understand. Commands 0 through 127 are reserved for commands that
apply to multiple types of devices. Commands 128 through 255 are device
specific.

Reserved (uint8)

This byte is reserved for alignment and expansion purposes. It should be set
to zero.

Command data (uint8[])

The command data may contain between 0 and 60 bytes of data. The format
of the data section is defined by the command itself.

Padding (uint8[])

Messages must be padded up to a 32 bit boundary with 0x0 bytes. Any
padding bytes are NOT included in the command length.

Receiving devices should use the destination device address and or the command identifier to
determine which messages to process. The receiver should use the command length to skip
irrelevant or unknown commands and should be careful to skip the implicit padding as well.

Defined Commands
Command 0 : change configuration
Category (uint8)

The category number specifies one of up to 256 configuration categories
available on the device.

Parameter (uint8)

The parameter number specifies one of 256 potential configuration
parameters available on the device. Parameters 0 through 127 are device
specific parameters. Parameters 128 though 255 are reserved for parameters
that apply to multiple types of devices.

Data type (uint8)

The data type specifies the type of the remaining data. The packet length is
used to determine the number of elements in the message. Each message
must contain an integral number of data elements.

Currently defined values are:
A void value is represented as a boolean array of length zero.
0: void / boolean

The data field is a 8 bit value with 0 meaning false and all other values
meaning true.

1: signed byte

Data elements are signed bytes

2: signed 16 bit integer

Data elements are signed 16 bit values

3: signed 32 bit integer

Data elements are signed 32 bit values

4: signed 64 bit integer

Data elements are signed 64 bit values

5: UTF-8 string

Data elements represent a UTF-8 string with no terminating character.

Studio Camera Control Protocol

192

Data types 6 through 127 are reserved.

128: signed 5.11 fixed point

Data elements are signed 16 bit integers representing a real number with 5
bits for the integer component and 11 bits for the fractional component. The
fixed point representation is equal to the real value multiplied by 2^11. The
representable range is from -16.0 to 15.9995
(15 + 2047/2048).

Data types 129 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Operation type (uint8)

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified
parameter. Currently defined values are:

0: assign value

The supplied values are assigned to the specified parameter. Each element
will be clamped according to its valid range. A void parameter may only be
'assigned' an empty list of boolean type. This operation will trigger the action
associated with that parameter. A boolean value may be assigned the value
zero for false, and any other value for true.

1: offset / toggle value

Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the
current parameter values. The resulting parameter value will be clamped
according to their valid range. It is not valid to apply an offset to a void value.
Applying any offset other than zero to a boolean value will invert that value.

Operation types 2 through 127 are reserved.

Operation types 128 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Data (void)

The data field is 0 or more bytes as determined by the data type and number
of elements.

The category, parameter, data type and operation type partition a 24 bit operation space.

Developer Information
This section of the manual provides all the details you will need if you want to write custom
libraries and develop your own hardware for your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.

Physical Encoding - I2C
The shield operates at the following I2C speeds:
1.
2.

Standard mode (100 kbit/s)
Full speed (400 kbit/s)

The default 7-bit shield I2C slave address is 0x6E.
Shield Pin

**I2C Protocol (Reads):**
(START W) [REG ADDR L] [REG ADDR H] ... (STOP) (START R) [VAL] [VAL] [VAL] ... (STOP)
The maximum payload (shown as **VAL** in the examples above) read/write length (following the internal
register address) in a single transaction is 255 bytes.

Physical Encoding - UART
The shield operates with a UART baud rate of 115200, 8-N-1 format.
Shield Pin
| Function
--------------------- |----------------------------IO1

Подготовка к работе

208

СОВЕТ. Рекомендуется сначала выполнить распайку по одному контакту на каждом
разъеме. Это поможет точно совместить контакты модуля с разъемами платы
Arduino. После установки модуля на плату убедитесь, что все контакты выровнены.
При необходимости можно подогреть место спайки, чтобы устранить перекосы. Этот
способ намного проще, чем припаять одновременно все контакты, а уже затем их
выравнивать.

Установка модуля на плату Arduino
После распайки разъемов модуль Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino можно устанавливать на
плату Arduino.
Удерживая модуль за края, совместите его контакты с разъемами платы Arduino и осторожно
установите их в слоты. Чтобы не погнуть контакты, будьте внимательны при установке модуля.

Утилита Blackmagic Shield
for Arduino Setup

Утилита Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup позволяет менять настройки
на модуле, в том числе I2C-адрес и формат видео на выходе

Утилита Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup позволяет менять настройки, в том числе “I2C address”,
предназначенные для идентификации модуля и его соединения с платой Arduino.

I2C-адрес
Иногда возможна установка дополнительного модуля на Blackmagic Arduino Shield. Однако, если у
обоих модулей одинаковый I2C-адрес, может возникнуть сбой. В этом случае следует изменить
заданный по умолчанию адрес модуля.
Заданный по умолчанию адрес модуля — 0x6E, но можно выбрать любой в диапазоне от

Проверка Blackmagic Arduino Shield
и загрузка библиотеки
После того, как будут выполнены все инструкции раздела «Подготовка к работе», установлено
необходимое ПО и загружены библиотечные файлы, следует проверить наличие связи между
модулем и платой Arduino.
Самый быстрый способ — это открыть и запустить имеющийся скетч TallyBlink (мигание индикатора).
Для этого выполните следующие действия

1

Запустите ПО Arduino.

2

В меню tools выберите плату Arduino и Port number (номер порта).

3

В меню File перейдите в Examples/BMDSDIControl и выберите скетч TallyBlink.

4

Загрузите его на вашу плату.

Самый быстрый способ — это открыть и запустить имеющийся скетч TallyBlink.
Исходные данные можно передавать на модуль Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield по
протоколу I2C, используя команды из Studio Camera Protocol. Чтобы упростить
процесс написания скетчей, мы создали пользовательские библиотеки.

Проверка Blackmagic Arduino Shield и загрузка библиотеки

215

ПРИМЕЧАНИЕ. Убедитесь в том, что номер камеры Blackmagic (Tally number)
установлен на 1.

Tally-индикатор камеры Blackmagic Studio Camera должен мигать с интервалом в одну секунду, что
означает наличие связи между Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield и платой Arduino.
Если индикатор не мигает, проверьте, что Tally number (номер камеры) задан на 1.
Помощь можно получить в разделе поддержки на странице www.blackmagicdesign.com/ru/support.
Подробнее о настройках модуля см. в разделе «Помощь».

обычном режиме.
В некоторых случаях, если при запуске модуля произошел сбой, будут мигать все индикаторы. Тот
индикатор, где произошла ошибка, не будет мигать, что поможет выявить проблему.

Установка компонентов модуля
При разработке собственного контроллера для управления камерами легко создать
дополнительный модуль любого типа и оснастить его кнопками, ручками и джойстиком. Соедините
новый модуль с разъемами Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino. Потенциал создания таких
контроллеров неограничен. При желании можно заменить прежнюю схему блока CCU на
собственное решение на основе Arduino.

Разрабатывайте собственные микроконтроллеры
и подключайте их к Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino
для повышения точности управления

Обмен данными с модулем
Blackmagic Shield for Arduino
Связь с модулем Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino возможна по I2C- или последовательному
протоколу. Рекомендуется выбирать I2C-протокол из-за низкого числа контактов и доступности
использования монитора с последовательным интерфейсом. Также это обеспечивает работу модуля
с большим количеством I2C-устройств.

High Level Overview
The library provides two core objects, BMD_SDITallyControl and BMD_SDICameraControl, which
can be used to interface with the shield’s tally and camera control functionalities. Either or both of
these objects can be created in your sketch to issue camera control commands, or read and write tally
data respectively. These objects exist in several variants, one for each of the physical I2C or
Serial communication busses the shield supports.

Установка компонентов модуля

217

I2C Interface
To use the I2C interface to the shield:
// NOTE: Must match address set in the setup utility software
const int			

shieldAddress = 0x6E;

BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C

sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);

BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

Serial Interface
To use the Serial interface to the shield:
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ Serial

sdiCameraControl;

BMD _ SDITallyControl _ Serial

sdiTallyControl;

Note that the library will configure the Arduino serial interface at the required 38400 baud rate. If you
wish to print debug messages to the Serial Monitor when using this interface, change the Serial
Monitor baud rate to match. If the Serial Monitor is used, some binary data will be visible as the IDE will
be unable to distinguish between user messages and shield commands.

Example Usage
Once created in a sketch, these objects will allow you to issue commands to the shield over selected
bus by calling functions on the created object or objects. A minimal sketch that uses the library via the
I2C bus is shown below.
// NOTE: Must match address set in the setup utility software
const int			

shieldAddress = 0x6E;

BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C

sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);

BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

void setup() {
// Must be called before the objects can be used
sdiCameraControl.begin();
sdiTallyControl.begin();
// Turn on camera control overrides in the shield
sdiCameraControl.setOverride(true);
// Turn on tally overrides in the shield
sdiTallyControl.setOverride(true);
}
void loop() {
// Unused
}

The list of functions that may be called on the created objects are listed further on in this document.
Note that before use, you must call the ‘begin’ function on each object before issuing any
other commands.
Some example sketches demonstrating this library are included in the Arduino IDE’s File->Examples>BMDSDIControl menu.

Studio Camera Control Protocol
This section contains the Studio Camera Control Protocol from the Blackmagic Studio Camera
manual. You can use the commands in this protocol to control your Blackmagic URSA Mini or
Blackmagic Studio Camera via your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.
The Blackmagic Studio Camera Protocol shows that each camera parameter is arranged in
groups, such as:
Group ID

Group

0

Lens

1

Video

2

Audio

3

Output

4

Display

5

Tally

6

Reference

7

Configuration

8

Color Correction

10

Media

11

PTZ Control

The group ID is then used in the Arduino sketch to determine what parameter to change.
The function: sdiCameraControl.writeXXXX, is named based on what parameter you wish to change,
and the suffix used depends on what group is being controlled.
For example sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 is used for focus, aperture, zoom, audio, display, tally
and color correction when changing absolute values.
The complete syntax for this command is as follows:
sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 (
Camera number,
Group,
Parameter being controlled,
Operation,
Value
);
The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified parameter
0 = assign value. The supplied Value is assigned to the specified parameter.
1 = offset value. Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the current
parameter Value.
For example:
sdiCameraControl.writeCommandFixed16(
1,
8,
0,
0,
liftAdjust
);
Studio Camera Control Protocol

219

1 = camera number 1
8 = Color Correction group
0 = Lift Adjust
0 = assign value
liftAdjust = setting the value for the RGB and luma levels
As described in the protocol section, liftAdjust is a 4 element array for RED[0], GREEN[1], BLUE[2] and
LUMA[3]. The complete array is sent with this command.
The sketch examples included with the library files contain descriptive comments to explain their
operation.

Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol
Version 1.2
If you are a software developer you can use the SDI Camera Control Protocol to construct devices that
integrate with our products. Here at Blackmagic Design our approach is to open up our protocols and
we eagerly look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Overview
The Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol is used by ATEM switchers, Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield
for Arduino and Blackmagic Camera Remote to provide Camera Control functionality with supported
Blackmagic Design cameras. Please refer to the ‘Understanding Studio Camera Control’ section in the
Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and URSA Mini manuals, or the ATEM Switchers Manual and
ATEM Switchers SDK manual for more information. These can be downloaded at
www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
This document describes an extensible protocol for sending a uni directional stream of small control
messages embedded in the non-active picture region of a digital video stream. The video stream
containing the protocol stream may be broadcast to a number of devices. Device addressing is used
to allow the sender to specify which device each message is directed to.

Assumptions
Alignment and padding constraints are explicitly described in the protocol document. Bit fields are
packed from LSB first. Message groups, individual messages and command headers are defined as,
and can be assumed to be, 32 bit aligned.

Blanking Encoding
A message group is encoded into a SMPTE 291M packet with DID/SDID x51/x53 in the active region of
VANC line 16.

Message Grouping
Up to 32 messages may be concatenated and transmitted in one blanking packet up to a maximum of
255 bytes payload. Under most circumstances, this should allow all messages to be sent with a
maximum of one frame latency.
If the transmitting device queues more bytes of message packets than can be sent in a single frame, it
should use heuristics to determine which packets to prioritize and send immediately. Lower priority
messages can be delayed to later frames, or dropped entirely as appropriate.

Abstract Message Packet Format
Every message packet consists of a three byte header followed by an optional variable length data
block. The maximum packet size is 64 bytes.

Destination device (uint8)

Device addresses are represented as an 8 bit unsigned integer. Individual devices
are numbered 0 through 254 with the value 255 reserved to indicate a broadcast
message to all devices.

Command length (uint8)

The command length is an 8 bit unsigned integer which specifies the length of the
included command data. The length does NOT include the length of the header or
any trailing padding bytes.

Command id (uint8)

The command id is an 8 bit unsigned integer which indicates the message type
being sent. Receiving devices should ignore any commands that they do not
understand. Commands 0 through 127 are reserved for commands that apply to
multiple types of devices. Commands 128 through 255 are device specific.

Reserved (uint8)

This byte is reserved for alignment and expansion purposes. It should be set to zero.

Command data (uint8[])

The command data may contain between 0 and 60 bytes of data. The format of the
data section is defined by the command itself.

Padding (uint8[])

Messages must be padded up to a 32 bit boundary with 0x0 bytes. Any padding
bytes are NOT included in the command length.

Receiving devices should use the destination device address and or the command identifier to
determine which messages to process. The receiver should use the command length to skip
irrelevant or unknown commands and should be careful to skip the implicit padding as well.

Defined Commands
Command 0 : change configuration
Category (uint8)

The category number specifies one of up to 256 configuration categories available
on the device.

Parameter (uint8)

The parameter number specifies one of 256 potential configuration parameters
available on the device. Parameters 0 through 127 are device specific parameters.
Parameters 128 though 255 are reserved for parameters that apply to multiple types
of devices.

Data type (uint8)

The data type specifies the type of the remaining data. The packet length is used to
determine the number of elements in the message. Each message must contain an
integral number of data elements.

Currently defined values are:
0: void / boolean

A void value is represented as a boolean array of length zero.
The data field is a 8 bit value with 0 meaning false and all other values meaning true.

1: signed byte

Data elements are signed bytes

2: signed 16 bit integer

Data elements are signed 16 bit values

3: signed 32 bit integer

Data elements are signed 32 bit values

4: signed 64 bit integer

Data elements are signed 64 bit values

5: UTF-8 string

Data elements represent a UTF-8 string with no terminating character.

221

Data types 6 through 127 are reserved.

128: signed 5.11 fixed point

Data elements are signed 16 bit integers representing a real number with 5 bits for
the integer component and 11 bits for the fractional component. The fixed point
representation is equal to the real value multiplied by 2^11. The representable range
is from -16.0 to 15.9995
(15 + 2047/2048).

Data types 129 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Operation type (uint8)

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified parameter.
Currently defined values are:

0: assign value

The supplied values are assigned to the specified parameter. Each element will be
clamped according to its valid range. A void parameter may only be 'assigned' an
empty list of boolean type. This operation will trigger the action associated with that
parameter. A boolean value may be assigned the value zero for false, and any other
value for true.

1: offset / toggle value

Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the current
parameter values. The resulting parameter value will be clamped according to their
valid range. It is not valid to apply an offset to a void value. Applying any offset other
than zero to a boolean value will invert that value.

Operation types 2 through 127 are reserved.

Operation types 128 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Data (void)

The data field is 0 or more bytes as determined by the data type and number
of elements.

The category, parameter, data type and operation type partition a 24 bit operation space.

Operazioni preliminari
Inserire e saldare i connettori
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino include 4 connettori sovrapponibili: due connettori a 8
pin, un connettore a 10 pin, e un connettore a 6 pin. Questi connettori fungono da collegamento
tra lo shield e la scheda Arduino, ed essendo sovrapponibili, permettono di aggiungere altri
shield dotati di ulteriori componenti, per esempio pulsanti, manopole e joystick. Il connettore
consente di montare lo shield su schede Arduino UNO R3.

Per applicare i connettori allo shield:
1

Inserisci i pin di ogni connettore negli appositi fori per pin in entrambi i lati dello shield
Blackmagic. L’illustrazione qui sotto mostra la disposizione dei connettori.
A5 (I 2 C) SCL
A4 (I 2 C) SDA

0 - Serial RX
1 - Serial TX

8 PIN

6 PIN

8 PIN
10 PIN
(I 2 C) SDA
(I 2 C) SCL

NOTA La comunicazione con lo shield avviene tramite I2C o è seriale.
Consigliamo I2C perché usa il monitor seriale e lascia liberi tutti gli altri pin.
Seleziona la modalità di comunicazione in fase di scrittura del comando
BMDSDIControl nello sketch. Per tutti i dettagli, consulta il capitolo
“Comunicare con lo shield”.

2

Salda la base di ogni connettore sulla parte inferiore dello shield. Assicurati di saldare
fermamente ogni singolo pin, evitando di toccare la saldatura degli altri pin.

SUGGERIMENTO Per allineare i pin dello shield con i fori per pin della scheda
Arduino, salda solo un pin su ogni connettore. Poi posa lo shield sulla scheda
Arduino per controllare l’allineamento. Se è necessario spostare i connettori
per correggere l’allineamento, scalda leggermente il giunto di saldatura del
connettore interessato. Questo metodo è migliore perché spostare i connettori
quando tutti i giunti sono stati già saldati è più difficile.

Operazioni preliminari

237

Inserire lo shield nella scheda Arduino
Ora che i connettori sono saldati allo shield 3G-SDI, puoi montarlo sulla scheda Arduino.
Allinea i connettori dello shield ai fori per pin della scheda Arduino, e inseriscili delicatamente,
evitando di piegarli.

Una volta inseriti i pin, lo shield Blackmagic e la scheda Arduino si
incastrano perfettamente.

Collegare l'alimentazione
Per alimentare Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino, collega un adattatore all’ingresso per
alimentazione 12V dello shield.

NOTA L’adattatore collegato alla scheda Arduino non è sufficiente per alimentare lo
shield Blackmagic. Accertati di collegare l’alimentazione solo allo shield, che invece è
sufficiente per operare sia lo shield che la scheda Arduino.

Operazioni preliminari

238

Collegare i dispositivi SDI
Una volta collegata l’alimentazione, puoi connettere Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino ai
dispositivi SDI. Ad esempio, per collegare lo shield a uno switcher e a una Blackmagic
URSA Mini:
1

Collega l’uscita di programma dello switcher all’ingresso SDI dello shield Blackmagic.

2

Collega l’uscita SDI dello shield Blackmagic all’ingresso PGM di Blackmagic URSA Mini.

Segui lo schema di connessione qui sotto.

Con lo shield montato sulla scheda Arduino, alimentato e connesso ai dispositivi SDI, è il
momento di installare il software interno e i file della libreria, programmare il software Arduino e
cominciare a utilizzare lo shield!
Il prossimo capitolo spiega come installare il software interno dello shield e dove installare i file
della libreria di Arduino, cosicché lo shield comunichi con la scheda Arduino.

SUGGERIMENTO Con Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino puoi controllare anche
altri dispositivi Blackmagic Design, ad esempio Blackmagic MultiView 16. Per esempio
se lo shield è connesso all’ingresso 16, puoi abilitare il bordo tally sui riquadri
multiview.

Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup

Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup consente di cambiare le impostazioni
dello shield, così come l’indirizzo I 2C e il formato video di uscita.

A installazione effettuata, puoi cambiare sia l’indirizzo “I 2C address” per identificare lo shield e
comunicare con la scheda Arduino, sia il formato “video format” di uscita dello shield.

Indirizzo I2C
Nei rari casi in cui è presente un secondo shield che utilizza lo stesso indirizzo I2C dello shield
Blackmagic, sarà necessario cambiare le impostazioni di default.

Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup

242

L'indirizzo di default del tuo shield è 0x6E, ma puoi scegliere un valore compreso tra
0x08 e 0x77.
Per cambiare l’indirizzo dello shield:
1

Lancia Blackmagic Shield for Arduino Setup e clicca sull’icona delle impostazioni.

2

Assegna l'indirizzo desiderato in "Set address to:"

3

Clicca su "Save".

Formato video
Se non è collegata nessuna fonte, il formato di uscita è selezionato di default. Quando è rilevata
una fonte, il formato di uscita corrisponde a quello di entrata. Scollegando la fonte di entrata, il
formato di uscita ritorna a quello di default. Per cambiare il formato video di default, clicca su
"Default output format" dalla barra menù e seleziona il formato desiderato.
Scegli tra i seguenti formati di uscita:
‚‚ 720p50
‚‚ 720p59.94
‚‚ 720p60
‚‚ 1080i50
‚‚ 1080i59.94
‚‚ 1080i60
‚‚ 1080p23.98
‚‚ 1080p24
‚‚ 1080p25
‚‚ 1080p29.97
‚‚ 1080p30
‚‚ 1080p50
‚‚ 1080p59.94
‚‚ 1080p60

Programmare gli sketch di Arduino
I programmi Arduino, detti "sketch", sono facilissimi da scrivere e usano il comune linguaggio di
programmazione C. Se programmi gli sketch utilizzando i comandi del protocollo dello Studio
Camera Control Protocol, lo shield li integra all'uscita SDI, permettendo di controllare
Blackmagic URSA Mini o Blackmagic Studio Camera.
Tutti i comandi supportati sono inclusi nella sezione "Studio Camera Control Protocol"
del manuale.

Programmare gli sketch di Arduino

243

Testare lo shield Blackmagic
e installazione della libreria
Una volta completate le operazioni preliminari e installato il software e i file della libreria,
accertati che lo shield e la scheda Arduino comunichino correttamente.
Il metodo più veloce è di aprire e testare l'esempio di sketch per fare lampeggiare la spia tally.

Con l’esempio di sketch per illuminare la spia tally, verificare il funzionamento dello
Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino è facile e veloce. Invia i dati direttamente allo
shield tramite I2C, utilizzando i comandi del protocollo Studio Camera Protocol. Per
facilitare la programmazione degli sketch puoi consultare le librerie incluse.

Testare lo shield Blackmagic e installazione della libreria

244

NOTA Assicurati che il numero tally della camera Blackmagic sia impostato su 1.

Se la spia tally lampeggia sulla Blackmagic Studio Camera a intervalli di un secondo, la
comunicazione è stata instaurata con successo.
Se la spia tally non lampeggia, controlla che il numero di tally della telecamera si impostato su 1.

Ad avvio riuscito, il LED di alimentazione si accende, e tutti i LED riprendono le loro funzioni
standard durante l'elaborazione.
Nel raro caso che l'avvio fallisca, tutti i LED lampeggiano velocemente tranne quelli che
mostrano la causa dell'anomalia.

Applicare componenti allo shield
Per ottenere un dispositivo di controllo hardware su misura e interamente manuale, puoi creare
un nuovo shield con pulsanti, manopole e joystick. Per montarlo su Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield
for Arduino basta inserire i connettori dello shield personalizzato nei fori per pin del connettore
dello shield. Non c’è limite al tipo di microcontrollori che puoi creare. Puoi addirittura sostituire
completamente i circuiti di una vecchia CCU con la tua soluzione Arduino su misura e di
standard professionale.

Crea il tuo controller su misura e connettilo a Blackmagic
3G-SDI Shield for Arduino per un controllo mirato e interattivo.

Comunicare con Blackmagic
Shield for Arduino (English)
You can communicate with your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino via I2C or Serial. We
recommend I 2C because of the low pin count and it frees up the serial monitor. This also allows
you to use more I2C devices with the shield.

High Level Overview
The library provides two core objects, BMD_SDITallyControl and BMD_SDICameraControl,
which can be used to interface with the shield’s tally and camera control functionalities. Either
or both of these objects can be created in your sketch to issue camera control commands, or
read and write tally data respectively. These objects exist in several variants, one for each of
the physical I2C or Serial communication busses the shield supports.

Comunicare con Blackmagic Shield for Arduino (English)

246

I2C Interface
To use the I2C interface to the shield:
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

Serial Interface
To use the Serial interface to the shield:
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ Serial
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ Serial

sdiCameraControl;
sdiTallyControl;

Note that the library will configure the Arduino serial interface at the required 38400 baud rate.
If you wish to print debug messages to the Serial Monitor when using this interface, change the
Serial Monitor baud rate to match. If the Serial Monitor is used, some binary data will be visible
as the IDE will be unable to distinguish between user messages and shield commands.

Example Usage
Once created in a sketch, these objects will allow you to issue commands to the shield over
selected bus by calling functions on the created object or objects. A minimal sketch that uses
the library via the I2C bus is shown below.
// NOTE: Must match address
const int			
BMD _ SDICameraControl _ I2C
BMD _ SDITallyControl _ I2C

set in the setup utility software
shieldAddress = 0x6E;
sdiCameraControl(shieldAddress);
sdiTallyControl(shieldAddress);

void setup() {
// Must be called before the objects can be used
sdiCameraControl.begin();
sdiTallyControl.begin();
// Turn on camera control overrides in the shield
sdiCameraControl.setOverride(true);
// Turn on tally overrides in the shield
sdiTallyControl.setOverride(true);
}
void loop() {
// Unused
}

The list of functions that may be called on the created objects are listed further on in this
document. Note that before use, you must call the ‘begin’ function on each object before

Studio Camera Control Protocol (English)
This section contains the Studio Camera Control Protocol from the Blackmagic Studio Camera
manual. You can use the commands in this protocol to control your Blackmagic URSA Mini or
Blackmagic Studio Camera via your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino.
The Blackmagic Studio Camera Protocol shows that each camera parameter is arranged in
groups, such as:
Group ID

0

2

Audio

3

Output

4

Display

5

Tally

6

Reference

7

Configuration

8

Color Correction

10

Media

PTZ Control

The group ID is then used in the Arduino sketch to determine what parameter to change.
The function: sdiCameraControl.writeXXXX, is named based on what parameter you wish to
change, and the suffix used depends on what group is being controlled.
For example sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 is used for focus, aperture, zoom, audio, display,
tally and color correction when changing absolute values.
The complete syntax for this command is as follows:
sdiCameraControl.writeFixed16 (
Camera number,
Group,
Parameter being controlled,
Operation,
Value
);

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified parameter
0 = assign value. The supplied Value is assigned to the specified parameter.
1 = offset value. Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the current
parameter Value.
For example:
sdiCameraControl.writeCommandFixed16(
1,
8,
0,
0,
liftAdjust
);
Studio Camera Control Protocol (English)

248

1 = camera number 1
8 = Color Correction group
0 = Lift Adjust
0 = assign value
liftAdjust = setting the value for the RGB and luma levels
As described in the protocol section, liftAdjust is a 4 element array for RED[0], GREEN[1],
BLUE[2] and LUMA[3]. The complete array is sent with this command.
The sketch examples included with the library files contain descriptive comments to explain
their operation.

Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol
Version 1.2
If you are a software developer you can use the SDI Camera Control Protocol to construct
devices that integrate with our products. Here at Blackmagic Design our approach is to open up
our protocols and we eagerly look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Overview
The Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol is used by ATEM switchers, Blackmagic 3G-SDI
Shield for Arduino and Blackmagic Camera Remote to provide Camera Control functionality
with supported Blackmagic Design cameras. Please refer to the ‘Understanding Studio Camera
Control’ section in the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and URSA Mini manuals, or the ATEM
Switchers Manual and ATEM Switchers SDK manual for more information. These can be
downloaded at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
This document describes an extensible protocol for sending a uni directional stream of small
control messages embedded in the non-active picture region of a digital video stream. The
video stream containing the protocol stream may be broadcast to a number of devices. Device
addressing is used to allow the sender to specify which device each message is directed to.

Assumptions
Alignment and padding constraints are explicitly described in the protocol document. Bit fields
are packed from LSB first. Message groups, individual messages and command headers are
defined as, and can be assumed to be, 32 bit aligned.

Blanking Encoding
A message group is encoded into a SMPTE 291M packet with DID/SDID x51/x53 in the active
region of VANC line 16.

Message Grouping
Up to 32 messages may be concatenated and transmitted in one blanking packet up to a
maximum of 255 bytes payload. Under most circumstances, this should allow all messages to
be sent with a maximum of one frame latency.
If the transmitting device queues more bytes of message packets than can be sent in a single
frame, it should use heuristics to determine which packets to prioritize and send immediately.
Lower priority messages can be delayed to later frames, or dropped entirely as appropriate.

Abstract Message Packet Format
Every message packet consists of a three byte header followed by an optional variable length
data block. The maximum packet size is 64 bytes.

Studio Camera Control Protocol (English)

249

Destination device (uint8)

Device addresses are represented as an 8 bit unsigned integer. Individual
devices are numbered 0 through 254 with the value 255 reserved to indicate
a broadcast message to all devices.

Command length (uint8)

The command length is an 8 bit unsigned integer which specifies the length
of the included command data. The length does NOT include the length of
the header or any trailing padding bytes.

Command id (uint8)

The command id is an 8 bit unsigned integer which indicates the message
type being sent. Receiving devices should ignore any commands that they do
not understand. Commands 0 through 127 are reserved for commands that
apply to multiple types of devices. Commands 128 through 255 are device
specific.

Reserved (uint8)

This byte is reserved for alignment and expansion purposes. It should be set
to zero.

Command data (uint8[])

The command data may contain between 0 and 60 bytes of data. The format
of the data section is defined by the command itself.

Padding (uint8[])

Messages must be padded up to a 32 bit boundary with 0x0 bytes. Any
padding bytes are NOT included in the command length.

Receiving devices should use the destination device address and or the command identifier to
determine which messages to process. The receiver should use the command length to skip
irrelevant or unknown commands and should be careful to skip the implicit padding as well.

Defined Commands
Command 0 : change configuration
Category (uint8)

The category number specifies one of up to 256 configuration categories
available on the device.

Parameter (uint8)

The parameter number specifies one of 256 potential configuration
parameters available on the device. Parameters 0 through 127 are device
specific parameters. Parameters 128 though 255 are reserved for parameters
that apply to multiple types of devices.

Data type (uint8)

The data type specifies the type of the remaining data. The packet length is
used to determine the number of elements in the message. Each message
must contain an integral number of data elements.

Currently defined values are:
A void value is represented as a boolean array of length zero.
0: void / boolean

The data field is a 8 bit value with 0 meaning false and all other values
meaning true.

1: signed byte

Data elements are signed bytes

2: signed 16 bit integer

Data elements are signed 16 bit values

3: signed 32 bit integer

Data elements are signed 32 bit values

4: signed 64 bit integer

Data elements are signed 64 bit values

5: UTF-8 string

Data elements represent a UTF-8 string with no terminating character.

Studio Camera Control Protocol (English)

250

Data types 6 through 127 are reserved.

128: signed 5.11 fixed point

Data elements are signed 16 bit integers representing a real number with 5
bits for the integer component and 11 bits for the fractional component. The
fixed point representation is equal to the real value multiplied by 2^11. The
representable range is from -16.0 to 15.9995
(15 + 2047/2048).

Data types 129 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Operation type (uint8)

The operation type specifies what action to perform on the specified
parameter. Currently defined values are:

0: assign value

The supplied values are assigned to the specified parameter. Each element
will be clamped according to its valid range. A void parameter may only be
'assigned' an empty list of boolean type. This operation will trigger the action
associated with that parameter. A boolean value may be assigned the value
zero for false, and any other value for true.

1: offset / toggle value

Each value specifies signed offsets of the same type to be added to the
current parameter values. The resulting parameter value will be clamped
according to their valid range. It is not valid to apply an offset to a void value.
Applying any offset other than zero to a boolean value will invert that value.

Operation types 2 through 127 are reserved.

Operation types 128 through 255 are available for device specific purposes.
Data (void)

The data field is 0 or more bytes as determined by the data type and number
of elements.

The category, parameter, data type and operation type partition a 24 bit operation space.

The shield operates at the following I2C speeds:
1.
2.

Standard mode (100 kbit/s)
Full speed (400 kbit/s)

The default 7-bit shield I2C slave address is 0x6E.
Shield Pin
| Function
--------------------- |----------------------------A4
| Serial Data (SDA)
A5
| Serial Clock (SCL)
**I2C Protocol (Writes):**
(START W) [REG ADDR L] [REG ADDR H] [VAL] [VAL] [VAL] ... (STOP)
**I2C Protocol (Reads):**
(START W) [REG ADDR L] [REG ADDR H] ... (STOP) (START R) [VAL] [VAL] [VAL] ... (STOP)
The maximum payload (shown as **VAL** in the examples above) read/write length (following the internal
register address) in a single transaction is 255 bytes.

Always zero.

**Override Output:** 	When 1, the input SDI signal (if present) is discarded and the
shield generates its own SDI signal on the SDI output
connector. When 0, the input signal is passed through to the
output if present, or the shield generates its own SDI
signal if not.
**Reset Tally:**	When 1, the last received incoming tally data is immediately copied
over to the override tally data register. Automatically cleared
by hardware.
**Override Tally:** 	When 1, tally data is overridden with the user supplied data.
When 0, input tally data is passed through to the output
unmodified.
