Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 Ethernet Protocol

Version 1.1
If you are a software developer you can use Ultimatte 12 Ethernet Protocol to construct devices
that integrate with our products. Here at Blackmagic Design our approach is to open up our
protocols and we eagerly look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Overview
The Blackmagic Ultimatte Ethernet Protocol is a text based protocol that is accessed by
connecting to TCP port 9998 on an Ultimatte.
Ultimatte sends information in blocks which each have an identifying header in all caps,
followed by a full colon. A block spans multiple lines and is terminated by a blank line. Each line
in the protocol is terminated by a newline character.
Upon connection, Ultimatte sends a complete dump of the state of the . After the initial status
dump, status updates are sent every time Ultimatte's status changes.
To be resilient to future protocol changes, clients should ignore blocks they do not recognize,
up to the trailing blank line. Within existing blocks, clients should ignore lines they do not
recognize.
Protocol Preamble
The first block sent by Ultimatte is always the protocol preamble:
PROTOCOL PREAMBLE: ↵
Version: 1.1 ↵
↵
The version field indicates the protocol version. When the protocol is changed in a compatible
way, the minor version number will be updated. If incompatible changes are made, the major
version number will be updated.
Device Information
The next block contains general information about the connected Ultimatte device.
