The example sketch below shows how the Blackmagic Arduino shield is programmed to send a
tally signal to the camera that has been switched to the program output. All SDI switchers that
have open collector outputs are configurable for tally using the Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino
Shield. For more information, download the Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield instruction
manual from the Blackmagic Design support center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
The example sketch above shows how the Blackmagic Arduino shield is programmed to detect
a tally signal for input 1 or 2 via the switcher’s tally output, and then embed that tally signal into
the shield’s SDI output. The tally light on the corresponding camera will then illuminate.
