bmd-tools

Tools to connect with and manage Blackmagic Design video equipment with built-in H.264 encoder.

Currently tested device:

  • ATEM TV studio
  • H.264 Pro Recorder

Use bmd-extractfw to extract the firmware out from BMDStreamingServer.exe (part of the Windows drivers).

bmd-streamer can be used to upload the extracted firmwares, and to stream out (currently to stdout) the MPEG TS stream from the device. For example, to dump stream to vlc you could do "bmd-streamer | vlc stream:///dev/stdin".

Dependencies:

  • libusb (1.0.16 or newer) or libusbx
