Dear BlackMagic Design.
Seeing that BM has offered SDK's for other BM hardware, would you consider
opening up the BMCC by offering an SDK?
Making the BMCC an 'open' camera, will allow a plethora of modifications for the BMCC which your
company alone would not be able to address (no company could). Something as simple as placing
customized information readouts on a screen...this could be addressed via an SDK.
Some people like their timecode on the upper right...others on the lower left.
Some want it in a smaller font, others in an 'inverted' look to be easier to read.
The tweaks are endless, but completely possible (and easy too). The days of waiting
months/years for a firmware update which does not please everyone are over!
As a C++ programmer myself, I would love to contribute my time/energy for possible features
on the BMCC. First thing I would do: Get rid of the "Degree shutter" (180)
and go back to standard numerical shutter (1/48)
We have all seen what accessing the firmware of a camera can do for the benefit of all (Magic Lantern),
opening up the BMCC via making the SDK downloadable, will give us the tools to get the very best
out of these cameras.
It's time to open cameras up, seeing that BM is 'leading the way' with this revolutionary product:
The time is now.
Thank you.
