An Example Of Controlling Via An Arduino - Blackmagic Design Duplicator 4K Manual De Instalación Y Funcionamiento

You can develop your own custom solutions to control your duplicator from computers or
dedicated hardware control devices or large systems used in broadcast studios or trucks. For
example, Arduino microcontrollers are small circuit boards that can be customized with
expansion boards called 'shields'. There are many types of shields and they can house different
connectors. To control your Blackmagic Duplicator 4K an Ethernet shield is required. You can
even buy additional shields with programmable buttons! Arduino microcontrollers are easy to
set up, very affordable and are completely open source. After programming the Arduino
software, you can simply connect the Arduino to your Blackmagic Duplicator 4K's Ethernet port
and start controlling your duplicator immediately.
An Example of Controlling via an Arduino
Arduino microcontrollers are programmed using common C programming language. Simply
program your controller to trigger commands to your Blackmagic Duplicator 4K using the
HyperDeck Ethernet Protocol. All supported commands are shown in the following section
named "Blackmagic HyperDeck Ethernet Protocol".
You can add other expansion shields to your Arduino so you can perform various recording
functions. For example, if you add an internal clock, you can program your controller to instruct
Blackmagic Duplicator 4K to record at specific times of the day, which may be helpful if you are
scheduling security recordings.
We are excited by this technology and would love to hear about any external Ethernet
controllers you have built!
When programming an external Ethernet controller, such as this example of using an
Arduino with an Ethernet shield, then you simply use the Ethernet protocol reference
here to select which commands you need to use to get the control you desire.
