SKAARHOJ ETH-SDI Link Ethernet to SDI camera control bridge

SKAARHOJ ETH-SDI Link

The SKAARHOJ ETH-SDI Link bridges Ethernet-based control systems and SDI-embedded control. It receives camera control information over Ethernet and forwards it to its SDI output, so operators can control Blackmagic Design cameras with SKAARHOJ controllers without using an ATEM switcher.

It can merge network data from multiple remote control panels (RCPs) onto a single SDI wire, simplifying the control signal design, and it allows real-time control of cameras in remote locations where running SDI cables is impractical, for example a Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 controlled from SKAARHOJ RCP panels or the Blackmagic Design Camera Control Panel.
