As you all are aware, most, if not all of Blackmagics products have USB connections for doing firmware updates and configurations; and that's it. Lets face it, it's a direct connection to the internal workings of the device.
So, is there something else this connector can do that we do not know about? Here is an example....
Hyperdeck Shuttle - this is the little brother of the Hyperdeck Studio that has a lot of extra stuff...
Wouldn't it be nice to control the Hyperdeck Shuttle via the USB; simple things like deck control etc.
Then people could make control panels to interface to other devices... even use the USB port to I/O timecode to multiple Hyperdeck Shuttle's to gang them together...
ATEM - The USB port on some models do achieve other functions but it could be expanded to do things like, again, timecode I/O to send to recorders/camera's etc ....
VIDEO ASSISTS - full control via USB so I can keep my screens clear of fingerprints!
I can think of many functions for many products and maybe one day....
