Overview¶
vidhub-control¶
Overview¶
Interface with Videohub SDI Matrix Switchers and SmartView Monitors by Blackmagic Design.
The primary purpose is for use as a library in other applications, but a GUI application is included (requires installation of the Kivy framework)
Since neither the devices nor the software for them support presets or macros, a need arose for instantaneous multiple routing changes. This, as well as setting the names for inputs and outputs within a single application can be accomplished using this project.
