To set up multiple Blue Pill Inside units to work in a group together, it is necessary to change some settings in the connected panels to allow them to be controlled by the main Blue Pill panel.  The connected unit needs the following changes: Stop React...

For some workflows it may be necessary to have a package running on a one Blue Pill and use it on another.  Example 1: You are controlling and Atem, and are on a different continent, the latency would probably not work well over the distance with Atem's own...

Unlike UniSketch where a change of configuration and included device cores needed an online exchange with the SKAARHOJ server, on Blue Pill everything is stored and enabled and disabled locally in Reactor. Only software updates or installations of non-existing...

DHCP or Static IP The Blue Pill’s user interface is accessed via the device’s IP Address and any web browser. The IP address can be found on the display after it is plugged into a network connection with PoE or a network connection and a power supply (5V Micr...

There are two ways a panel can be added, Auto Discover and Manually.   Auto Discover Panels can easily be discovered by mDNS look ups on the same subnet the Blue Pill is on. This makes it very easy to discover and include a panel in the configuration. mDNS w...

The controller’s layout is determined by the Mapping. In most cases, the Generic mapping is all that is needed, though for some combinations of panel and device, there are specific mappings.  The mapping is chosen in the drop down next to the panel. 

There are two main ways a device can be added to a new Blue Pill, Auto Discover and Manually.   Auto Discover Searching on the network for devices will find many types by a combination of mDNS look-ups and other methods. However, not all devices can be dis...

The final step is to fill in any constant sets. The constant sets are available based on the chosen configuration and should contain entries such as specific cameras for a PTZ controller, or the inputs for a video switcher etc. They are most common when workin...

The Blue Pill works as a wonderful add-on to connect and control  UniSketch controllers like never before. There are three ways to set a UniSketch controller to allow for connection to the Blue Pill. Two of the methods will involve using the SKAARHOJ Firmware ...

An example of a setup table would be a camera selector and can be seen below. These can be different depending on the selected configuration. From here the order on the camera selector row of the panel will be set as well as the desired name on the displays.  ...

An example of a router inputs selector can be seen below. These can be different depending on the selected configuration and device. From here the order on the inputs/outputs row of the panel will be set as well as the desired name on the displays and button c...

An example of a Routing Triggers constant set can be seen below. From here the camera select will trigger a specific route on either a designated routing panel or an aux source of a router.  Routing Trigger Constant Set Column Description Order...

An example of a Tally Forwarding constant set can be seen below. From here the camera select buttons will reflect the preview program status of the connected switcher. At the time of writing, it was not yet implemented to forward tally to cameras but it is a f...

For cameras that have a native thumbnail preset capture, like the Canon CR-N500 and the Panasonic UE150, thumbnail capture is as easy as saving a preset on a Skaarhoj controller with color displays. This could be the MKA1, MKA2, Frame Shot, or any future color...

With the help of Blue Pill and Reactor, it is now possible to get thumbnail presets for almost any device with an HDMI video output. The Skaarhoj Frame Link package combined with an HDMI Video Capture card allows for thumbnail presets images on compatible S...
