3G-SDI PGM mode

Hello,

On my ursa mini, when I push the button "PGM" I can see the return feed from my switcher.

Can I create a command in my 3G-SDI shield to do the same?
I want to create a button to switch to PGM mode on my camera.

I use the command "sdiCameraControl.writeCommandInt8(1, 6, 0, 0, 1);"
But there is no response on the camera.
(Other commands are working well)

With kind regards,
Jan Hein

Hi Jan Hein,

According to the latest camera manual, the "Program return feed enable" is Display Command 4.6.

Category: Display [4]
Parameter: PGM [6]
Type: Int8 [1]
Operation: assign [0]

Data values are 0 = Disable, 1-30 = enable with timeout (seconds)

Therefore, to toggle camera #1 with a timeout of 10 seconds the command will be:

Code: Select all

sdiCameraControl.writeCommandInt8(1, 4, 6, 0, 10)

Please let me know if this doesn't work.

Hello Brendan,

That did it. Thanks.
Is there also an option for a hold function?
When I push a button the PGM is on, and when I release the button PGM is off.

Is there a new manual, because this command is not explained in the manual I have?

With kind regards,
