Blackmagic Videohub Ethernet Protocol v2.3

Summary
The Blackmagic Videohub Ethernet Protocol is a text based protocol that is accessed by
connecting to TCP port 9990 on a Videohub Server. Integrated Videohub Servers and
Videohub Server computers are supported by the protocol.
The Videohub Server 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, the Videohub Server sends a complete dump of the state of the device.
After the initial status dump, status updates are sent every time the Videohub 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.
