Suitable cameras for uncalibrated reference video
...
The following camera has been used for capturing reference video in Shogun Live, but because it has a rolling shutter sensor, it can't be used for calibration:
...
1. SDI reference is supported. A timecode embedder is required.

Recommended capture cards
Shogun Live supports capturing from Blackmagic DeckLink cards using the DeckLink API, thus any DeckLink card should work with it. In addition, Shogun Live 1.6 and later includes support for the two Bluefish444 SDI video capture cards listed at the bottom of the following table.

| Blackmagic Teranex Mini Audio to SDI | 1 x 12G | Use right XLR audio input to insert LTC timecode, and select Timecode mode in control software. |

| Evertz 5601 | If the camera requires SDI sync (eg. Blackmagic URSA) then the Evertz 5601 must have a suitable HD or 3G SDI TG (Test Generator) option. The options are known as +HDTG and 3GTG. The presence of the options is not apparent from the number of connectors (ie, the connectors can be present even if the option is not included). To determine which options are enabled, go to the Status tab in VistaLink. In the Options group, ensure that the TG option is present, ie, it displays HD Present or 3G Present rather than Not Valid.
Typically the following connections are required: - LTC 1, 2 (XLR): Provide LTC for SDI camera or timecode inserter.
- TG 1, 2 (BNC): Provide SDI sync if SDI camera accepts this, or
- Sync 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (BNC): Provide Tri-Sync or Blackburst if camera accepts this.
- Sync 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (BNC): Can be configured to supply PAL/NTSC sync with VITC to Lock/Lock+, or
- TG 1, 2 (BNC): Provide SDI sync to Lock Studio.
|
| Courtyard CY440 | - LTC/Wordclock: May be configured to provide LTC output.
- SDI 1, 2 (BNC): Provide SDI sync to camera, or
- Tri/Black 2, 3, 4: Provide tri-sync to camera
- Composite (BNC): Provides PAL/NTSC sync with VITC to Lock/Lock+, or
- SDI 1, 2 (BNC): Provide SDI sync to Lock Studio
|
| Courtyard CY460 | Typically the following connections are required:
- Balanced Audio/AES/LTC (Molex): May be configured to provide LTC output. Custom cable required.
- SDI 1, 2 (BNC): Provide SDI sync to camera, or
- Tri/Black 2, 3, 4: Provide Tri-sync to camera
- Composite (BNC): Provides PAL/NTSC sync with VITC to Lock/Lock+, or
- SDI 1, 2 (BNC): Provide SDI sync to Lock Studio

Recommended cabling
SDI video uses co-ax cable with 75Ω characteristic impedance. Cables labeled RG-59U will be 75Ω, but may not be of sufficient quality for 3G video. Good quality cables with low return-loss are very important, and become even more crucial over longer distances and at higher standards, such as 6G and 12G. SDI sync also requires good quality video cable because it is also an SDI video signal. Analog blackburst, tri-sync and LTC signals are likely to be more forgiving.
