Control Smart Videohub Devices

Project description

Build Status Coverage Status

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.

Dependencies

This project relies heavily on asyncio and other features available in Python v3.5 or later.
