Blackmagic Forum

Hello,

So far from my testing the Micro Studio G2 is an amazing camera ! A bit sad of the lack of bluetooth chip because the buttons are super inconvenient, but I guess there wasn't enough space inside the body.

For the moment, the SDI can only be set to clean feed. Would it be possible to make it like the other Blackmagic cameras ? Which means that False Colors, Status Text, Zebra, Focus Peak , Guides, LUTS, etc can be also toggled on & off on the SDI and not just the HDMI ?

We can toggle everything on and off remotely over SDI with the Camera Control Protocol with the Middle Control app for other Blackmagic cameras, it would be amazing to have this camera behave like all the others.

This way the camera would be fully controllable over SDI just as it would have been with Bluetooth, except the camera ID.

I would like to second, that we need all the overlays for SDI, that we have on HDMI, so that we can confirm the status of the camera remotely from the Atem.

Yes. I totally agree with that. It's actually very difficult to manage the settings because the buttons are so small, too close together, and you have to use a lot of force to get them to work.
As for the firmware, the next update should have better remote control through SDI and HDMI when communicating with ATEM mixers, since it is impossible to see the configuration information through HDMI at the same time that the signal is recorded. Just adding a button to the ATEM to activate/deactivate the output with the clean signal would be a great advance in its use from the mixer.

But what would be a great advance is being able to control it through Bluetooth with the BM application on an Android or IOS mobile/tablet. This would take it to another level since we would have the best camera for filmmakers who do not need a large equipment with a super powerful mobile control.

When that happens, this camera will be the best choice for many people.

Another change in the update would be being able to choose more resolutions: FHD, HD, Anamorphic,... apart from 4K.

I have three Micro G2s in my arsenal and I just need these new features to buy more.

Please, gentlemen of BM, make these wishes come true and I assure you that we will buy many more units of this great camera.
