**Color Fly DB-25 Connector**

<p class="callout info">GPI is an add on option for the Color Fly v3B, it does not come standard.</p>

**[![Eth-GPI.png](https://wiki.skaarhoj.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/eth-gpi.png)](https://wiki.skaarhoj.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/eth-gpi.png)**

**RCP Pro DB-9 Connector**

<p class="callout info">The RCP Pro only has 3x GPI Input and 3x GPI Outputs that are programmable, this is different than the RCPv2.</p>

**3G SDI Arduino Shield**

<p class="callout info">SDI is an add on option for the Color Fly v3B, it does not come standard.</p>

**[![SDI.png](https://wiki.skaarhoj.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/sdi.png)](https://wiki.skaarhoj.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/sdi.png)**The Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield supports the following formats using SDI Level B: 720p50, 720p59.94, 720p60, 1080i50, 1080i59.94, 1080i60, 1080p23.98, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p29.97, 1080p30, 1080p50 (output only), 1080p59.94 (output only) and 1080p60 (output only), but the camera doesn't have to be running the same video format as the program input, so you can use cameras in Ultra HD while the camera protocol is sent over HD signal to the camera.
