SKAARHOJ Blue Pill - BLUEPILL-V1 (CP)
Combine multiple SKAARHOJ devices into one
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 it 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.
