    This document provides information about controlling Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) cameras using Blackmagic equipment. It discusses: 1) Using ATEM switchers to send VISCA commands to control PTZ cameras via RS-422 or over SDI. 2) How the Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield can be used to send PTZ commands over SDI to a Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera, which then sends VISCA commands to a PTZ head. 3) An example Arduino sketch for controlling pan, tilt, zoom, and storing/recalling positions of a PTZ head connected to a Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera using a joystick and button on a Black

    Camera Control using ATEM
    VISCA
    All ATEM switchers with a remote port support VISCA camera control via RS-422. VISCA
    commands are defined by controlling the cameras via ATEM external hardware panels, such
    as ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel and ATEM Broadcast Panels.
    Refer to the ATEM Production Studio Switchers and ATEM Television Studio Switchers manuals
    for more information.

    PTZ Control over SDI


    ATEM
    ATEM external hardware panels, such as ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel and ATEM Broadcast
    Panels can control PTZ camera heads via your switcher’s SDI program return output. By
    connecting the program return feed from your switcher to a Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera,
    then connecting the SDI output from the camera’s expansion cable to your PTZ head, you can
    control the head via the SDI signal.
    For more information on PTZ control using a Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera refer to the
    Blackmagic Studio Cameras manual. This manual can be downloaded from the Blackmagic
    Design support center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support

    Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield


    Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K supports PTZ output in the form of VISCA commands,
    which can be sent to a compatible motorized head. By using a Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino
    Shield, you can send pan, tilt and zoom commands over SDI to your Blackmagic Micro
    Studio Camera 4K. Your camera will then translate these SDI camera control protocol
    commands into the VISCA protocol, and send them to a compatible motorized head via the
    9-pin connector on the expansion cable labelled ‘PTZ control’.
    This means that you can use one SDI cable in a live production environment, to send camera
    control commands to remotely control any setting in the camera, as well as send PTZ commands to
    a compatible motorized head to control pan and tilt. The pan and tilt commands will be sent by your
    Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K to the motorized head, whereas lens related commands such
    as iris, focus and zoom commands will be sent to the active lens that is connected to the camera.

    Camera Control using ATEM 3


    The commands that the Micro Studio Camera 4K can accept over SDI are:
    ‚‚ Lens Zoom ‚‚ Memory Set
    ‚‚ Lens Focus ‚‚ Memory Recall
    ‚‚ Lens Iris ‚‚ Memory Reset
    ‚‚ Pan Tilt
    These commands are referenced in the ‘Blackmagic SDI Control Protocol’ in the
    ‘Blackmagic Camera Control’ developer information document which can be downloaded at
    www.blackmagicdesign.com/developer/
    Most PTZ heads support the setting and recalling of their positions but it is a good idea to
    check which commands are supported by each PTZ head manufacturer.
    The commands that are output through the ‘PTZ control’ connector in the form of VISCA
    commands are:
    ‚‚ CAM_Memory ‚‚ Pan-tiltDrive

    Controlling Pan, Tilt and Zoom with
    Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield
    Using the Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield with an Arduino board, a joystick and a switch,
    you can control a PTZ head via Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K.
    Connecting your 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 the custom shield to the Arduino board.
    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.
    4 Connect the joystick and button to the shield

    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.

    NOTE  The ATEM SDK supports the Blackmagic SDI Camera Control Protocol, and is an
    alternative to using a Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield for control.
    Refer to the ATEM Switchers SDK manual for more information. The ATEM Switchers
    SDK manual can be downloaded at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
