Skaarhoj Blue Pill
Description
Blue Pill enhances the UniSketch ecosystem by combining multiple controllers into a single seamless controller. For example, you can take a PTZ Pro and combine with a Frame Shot and have the Frame Shot show thumbnails for your preset recalls. The selected camera on the PTZ Pro will drive the preset selection on the Frame Shot because to Blue Pill they are essentially just one single panel.
Blue Pill talks to UniSketch panels via the Raw Panel device core on UniSketch. This device core has been around for a long time as a way for third party developers to interface with UniSketch controllers. With this road tested technology, Blue Pill simply takes control over the UniSketch panels and offers unprecedented possibilities that UniSketch could never do on its own. This includes:
• Virtually unlimited SKAARHOJ panels combined (seamless modularity)
• Virtually unlimited devices being integrated (cameras, switcher, routers, etc.)
• New integrations not available on UniSketch (like new camera releases from Canon, RED, Panasonic etc., just for a start)
• System provided features such as presets (macros / timelines), virtual triggers etc.
Features:
- OLED display
- Tally: The LED light bar on the back of your BluePill can be configured to any color and intensity. You can also configure this feedback based on your device parameters or custom conditions. Perfect for that extra tally light!
- USB: Data in + out and power out. This can be used for any third party frame-grabber in conjunction with Skaarhoj’s Frame Link application to create visual thumbnails for your panel. With this port, you can also hook up a hard-drive, keyboard, mouse and more to extend the functionality of your BluePill.
- USB: Data in + out and power out. The Micro USB port on your BluePill is capable of powering your BluePill in situations where PoE is not accessible to you. It can also power external devices in cases where PoE is powering the BluePill. Additionally, it provides an option to program or reset the device through serial connection or read data from external devices.
- Two ¼”-20 UNC standard screw holes for easy mounting anywhere in your setup.
- No screws? No problem! BluePill also comes with two slots for strips. 2.5 cm wide cutouts can be used to help you attach it anywhere!
