Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 Ethernet Protocol
Version 2.0
If you are a software developer you can use Ultimatte 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. Each block has 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 Ultimatte device sends a complete update of its status. After the initial
status transmission, status updates are sent every time the Ultimatte device’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 that they do not
recognize.
Protocol Preamble
The first block sent by Ultimatte is always the protocol preamble:
PROTOCOL PREAMBLE:
↵
Ve rsio n: 2.0

↵
The version field indicates the protocol version. When the protocol is changed in a backwards
compatible way, the minor version number will be updated. If incompatible changes are made,
the major version number will be updated.
Identity
The next block contains information about the device identity.
