The new Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield lets you use an Arduino to customize your own studio camera control solutions!Arduino is the popular open-source electronics prototyping platform used by hardware designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating projects. Arduino is designed to be as flexible as possible and very low cost and in many ways is similar to Raspberry Pi, however its simpler and more designed for hardware developers while Raspberry Pi is more targeted to software engineers.Using the Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield is easy, as all you need to do is get an Arduino, download the IDE from arduino.cc and then load the sample code. The sample code shows you how the Arduino communicates to the Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield and the shield sends the commands to the camera via the SDI connection.
