Hi all, I posted similar topic a while ago, and I see some other similar ones, but none of them gives me proper answer, so I decided to start a new one. Hope it is ok.
We have 2 ATEM switchers (ATEM Television Studio HD and ATEM 1M/E Production studio 4k)
Both are controlled by the ATEM software app. Also we have X-keys 124 t-bar controller. I connect it to the switchers in two ways - JustMacros app (where I program the behavior of all the keys the way I want them to work) and also small blackbox-controller with few different connectors. The controller is easier to use when working on field, because sometimes I can't be bothered with installing laptop and doing all the connections.
However, the controller is not properly programmed. The first 8 input keys (for PGM and Preview) work fine, most of the other keys have strange behavior (like pressing one button turns on the lights on another one, or pressing input 7 calls input 9), which is a problem. So I need to find a way to reprogram that controller. A while ago someone mentioned it here that this is probably Arduino micro controller, but I couldn't find information on my device. Now I connected it to my computer and it recognized it as "BeagleBone Black" device. I google it and found these are some small computers, that can be used for different operations. When I look at the pictures on internet about this device, they look exactly the same (and also the circuit board looks the same).
So I guess this device is just some sort of platform, used with additional software (or something like that), that controls the way the Xkeys buttons affect the ATEM switcher. But right now I can't find any information about any software or a way to reprogram the device. Few days ago I worked with the mobile broadcasting system of another company - they have the same switchers in the van and the same X-keys device. The controller between the X-keys and ATEM switchers is also the same like mine, but it works properly, so the engineer of the van said maybe mine is not properly programmed.
I'm thankful for any information and advises on that matter.
