Hi,
I would need a remote control for an ATEM Television Studio HD, i.e. for the eight channel buttons and the cut button. I want to put one of these extremely flat 4x4 membrane keypads that are sold on the common microelektronics shops (like https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-4-4 ... 81405.html) on a moderator's table to allow him to switch cameras while in the show.
It must be possible to remote control the ATEM over the network, since there's software for the Mac, that does exactly that. So technically it should be possible to attach the keypad to a ESP8266 module and to build the remote control with hardware for just $5.
So the question is: The API. To program the ESP, knowledge of the protocol between the Mac and the ATEM would be needed.
Would be really, really nice if that was possible.
Could anyone help?
Wouldn't that be a nice support project for Blackmagic?
(BTW: Blackmagic offers an 3G-SDI Arduino Shield, and although Arduinos are somewhat outdated and have been replaced by ESP8266 and ESP32, which are more powerful and have WLAN and Bluetooth, there are special versions of ESP8266 boards with the same footprint as Arduino boards and can take the same shields, including I2C. Would in general be nice to give some support for ESP modules. They are really useful, and some support for these would greatly improve the usability for all those special cases and experimental applications.)
