Blackmagic Design 3G-SDI Arduino Shield

The Blackmagic Design 3G-SDI Shield is designed for the Arduino controller to create a customised camera control solution. The shield fits the SDI control signal within the Program return feed to easily operate compatible cameras. Using the SDI shield and its open communication protocol, you can benefit from various controls, such as zoom, focus, gain, tally, detail, shutter, and contrast.

Blackmagic Design 3G-SDI Arduino Shield Key Features:

• Embeds the SDI control signal into the Program return feed for efficient working
