Product description

• ATEM CCU Take full remote control of up to eight Blackmagic Design digital film or live production cameras with the ATEM CCU from SKAARHOJ. This hardware control surface allows you to adjust multiple camera parameters simultaneously. Master black and iris are controlled by multi-turn dials, while illuminated buttons and displays provide high visibility even in dark locations. The OLED menu rocker switch lets you toggle between all the settings you need to adjust and refine for each camera's image. The CCU relays information to the cameras via a separately available ATEM switcher, to which it connects via Ethernet.
  • Transparent button caps for custom labels
  • Five preset menus and one custom menu
  • UniSketch OS
  Camera Selector
  • By default, the ATEM CCU selects between CAM 1-8 on the camera selector. Alternatively, you can configure the ATEM CCU to select between the eight cameras on MultiViewer 1 or 2 by selecting this option in the web interface. In UniSketch OS, you can enable auto-route to a specific ATEM AUX channel or any other device capable of video routing.
  Camera Control via ATEM
  • The ATEM CCU connects to the ATEM Switcher either directly via Ethernet or via a network switch/hub. Once connected, the ATEM CCU communicates with the ATEM Switcher, which then relays CCU shading information to the cameras. An SDI return feed is required for the cameras you want to relay the CCU data. This setup is similar to using the ATEM Software Control Panel. The ATEM Software Control Panel and the ATEM CCU are in sync, so when changing shading parameters, these will be reflected both places.
  Camera Support
  • Any camera that supports CCU control over the return SDI feed will work with the ATEM CCU. Some examples of compatible cameras are the Micro Studio Camera 4K, Studio Cameras, and the URSA Mini (+ Pro).
• 3G-SDI Arduino Shield Create a custom camera control solution with the 3G-SDI Arduino Shield from Blackmagic Design. Working in conjunction with a separately available Arduino controller, the Shield embeds an SDI control signal in the Program return feed that will operate compatible cameras, such as the Blackmagic Studio Camera or URSA Mini with the Studio Camera firmware update. These are the same controls output via an ATEM series switcher.
  Blackmagic Video Device Embedded Control Protocol
  • This open communication protocol takes advantage of blanking space in the SDI data stream to add talkback, tally, and other camera control information directly to the camera via the program return feed. Because of its open nature, you can create custom solutions that are compatible with switchers, cameras, and other supporting hardware
  Available Controls
  • The following controls are supported via SDI (Note: Availability may depend on camera and lens configuration):
    • Tally
    • Gain
    • Detail
    • Shutter
    • Zoom
    • Focus
    • Iris
    • Pedestal
    • Color Balance
    • Contrast
    • Hue
    • Saturation
  About Arduino
  • An Arduino is a controller - basically a simple computer - that can be embedded in other devices to create custom solutions. In this case, installing on the Shield. Once you have the Arduino, you can download the IDE (developer software) from the Arduino website, then load the Shield's "sample code". This will give you a feel for how the Arduino interoperates with the camera and help you get started programming
  Program Using Arduino IDE
  • Arduino programs are called Sketches and are designed to be easy to write. You can install "sample code" via the Arduino IDE (available from Arduino's website) to get a feel for how the system works. The commands for camera control are documented in the ATEM and Studio Camera manuals (available from the Support section of the Blackmagic Design website)
  I2C Bus Interface
  • The Arduino Shield only uses the I2C bus, which means it is also compatible with other micro controllers, including a Raspberry Pi

• 12V Power Supply

• USB Programming Cable

• Networking Cable

• Limited 1-Year Warranty
