Fiber Camera Converter + Camera/Paint Remote
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2018 8:20 am
Anybody think/know if the new Fiber CCU setup will allow for using the BMD Camera Control Panel WITHOUT requiring a ATEM switcher in the fold to control the URSA broadcast?
I assuming some communication is happening directly between the control panel and the CCU since there is return data coming from the CCU for network, alarm and status indicators on the panel?
If the setup supports this, it really becomes a bit of a game changer for me, as I currently use Tricaster for the switching side, but our cabling solutions over the years have been less than ideal.
Better yet, if down the road, they figured out how to use the PTZ/Serial port on the side of the camera back to adapt to other manufacturer's paint protocols with an adapter cable, this could be amazing.
