10 Blackmagic Arduino Shield Setup
Blackmagic Arduino Shield Setup
The Blackmagic Arduino Shield Setup software lets you change
settings on your shield such as the I
2
C address and video output format.
With Blackmagic Arduino Shield Setup installed on your computer, you can now change settings
for your shield, such as the ‘I
2
C address’, which identifies your shield so the Arduino board can
communicate with it, and the ‘video format’, which sets the output format for your shield.
I
2
C Address
In very rare cases, there is a potential for another shield mounted to your Blackmagic shield to
share the same I
2
C address as your shield’s default address which will create a conflict. If this
occurs, you can change your shield’s default address setting.
The default address for your shield is 0x6E, however, you can choose from a range of
addresses between 0x08 and 0x77.
To change the address for your shield:
1 Launch Blackmagic Arduino Shield Setup and click on your shield’s ‘settings’ icon.
2 In the ‘set address to:’ edit box, type the address you wish to use.
3 Click ‘save’.
Video Format
The default output format is selected in the setup utility for when no input is connected. When
an input is detected, the output will follow the same format as the input. If this input is removed
the output will revert to the default output format selected in the utility. You can change the
video format by clicking in the ‘default output format’ drop down menu and selecting the
format you want.
