Backmagic Video Hub API


A ruby abstraction library to give a REST API web service for controlling a Blackmagic Video Router. It utilises the existing blackmagic driver and communicates over the IP interface supplied with it using the published wire protocol. It will eventually allow timed switches with an ability to account for switching delays in the processing of the commands. https://github.com/simonh10/RVideoHub

Timecode Transmitter


A device/embedded system that reads the meta-data from the SDI feed from a camera, including stereo pair of cameras. The meta-data can include the timecode, roll number, filename being recorded and a whole set of other information depending on the source camera. The system then transmits the information over ZigBee, Bluetooth and Wifi so it can be picked up by bespoke systems, laptops tablets and mobile devices on set.
