When using Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K’s expansion port you may
only want to access one or two functions. For example, you may want to control
an attached B4 Broadcast Lens while simultaneously receiving 12V power and
a reference signal. It’s easy to make a connector that will give you just these
functions without the clutter of additional, unused connectors.
Use the following diagram when wiring the expansion cable included or use it
as an example for how you can wire up the connections on your own custom
cable correctly. The full range of available pins are listed under group P1,
while the subsets used for particular functions, as well as their layout within
the appropriate connectors, are shown in groups P2 through P7.
