The Middle Things APC, a pocket controller for ATEM switchers, allows you to control the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K/6K remotely from your Blackmagic ATEM switcher. The BMPCC 4K/6K doesn’t have the SDI port necessary to connect to SDI-only ATEM switchers, so this APC was designed as a solution. It converts the switcher’s SDI program signal into a Bluetooth signal that can be read by the camera. The APC accepts the ATEM switcher’s program output via an SDI input. Then it pairs with the BMPCC over Bluetooth using the companion Middle Things iOS app. Then, using the standard ATEM software or the ATEM camera control panel, you can adjust settings such as gain, shutter, iris, white balance, focus, zoom, and some limited primary color correction. The APC can be used with any ATEM switcher except the ATEM Mini and ATEM Mini Pro, which have HDMI connections.
