PTZ with Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino
Using the Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield with an Arduino board, a joystick and a switch, you can
control a PTZ head via Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K.
To connect Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K to the Blackmagic Design 3G-SDI shield
1
Connect the Blackmagic Design 3G-SDI shield to an Arduino board.
2
Connect your custom shield to the Arduino board.
TIP
This means the Blackmagic Design 3G-SDI shield will be the middle
component, sandwiched between the Arduino board and your custom Arduino
shield for PTZ control. The PTZ joystick and buttons can be built into your
custom Arduino shield, or connected to this shield externally.
The Blackmagic Design 3G-SDI shield is the middle component between
the Arduino board and your custom shield for PTZ control
3
Attach the SDI output connector from the shield to the SDI input on your
Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K and set the camera as camera number 1.
The joystick is mapped as follows:
X axis adjusts the PTZ head's pan.
Y axis adjusts the PTZ head's tilt.
Pressing the joystick button tells the PTZ head to store the current X,
Y position in memory.
Pressing the switch recalls the stored position.
