Bluetooth+ for Blackmagic vs Agitate

-- NEW External Controllers -- Connect Tilta Nucleus Nano & Nucleus-M to control Focus, Iris and Zoom, as well as Start & Stop Recording. Zoom and Focus control supported on Pocket 4K only. This is part of the new Pro feature set, which also includes Multi-Cam mode. -- MULTI-CAM MODE -- Multi-Cam Mode is now part of the Pro feature set, and includes these fantastic features: • Control up to 12 Blackmagic cameras at once • Create up to 3 distinct Control Groups, to give you fine-grain control over different settings for different cameras • You can choose to have changes made on one camera automatically update all the other cameras in its Control Group, or control everything straight from Bluetooth+ • Give your cameras Nicknames to quick, easy control Multi-Cam gives you control over the following features synced across an entire Group: • Start/Stop Recording • White Balance + Tint • Project frame rate (off-speed frame rates not supported) • Shutter Angle/Speed • ISO • Overlays • Slate • Trigger Auto-focus You can still control all other settings on a camera-by-camera basis, including: • Trigger stills capture • Iris control • Focus + Zoom (on supported lenses) • Codec + Resolution • Playback control • You can also set ISO specifically, rather than by camera group And of course, everyone has access to all of these amazing features: • Follow Focus (limited support for EF Mount cameras). See below for more info • Zoom Control on supported lenses • Trigger Stills capture • Record Start/Stop • White Balance + Tint, including 5 helpful presets and Auto White Balance • Audio Controls • Trigger Autofocus (for supported electronic lenses with autofocus enabled on lens) • Off-speed frame rates • Aperture (for supported electronic lenses) • Shutter Angle • ISO • Auto-Exposure Control • Active Card • Power On/Off • Monitor Overlays • Codec & Resolution • Enter metadata in the Digital Slate (including location data from your iPhone or iPad if you give permission) • Control Lock - locks critical controls while recording, preventing accidental settings changes during takes -- Follow Focus -- You can now pull focus wirelessly right from your iPhone or iPad. There are some limitations outlined below. • Currently only fully supports Pocket 4K, but as of v1.4 we now have limited support for EF mount cameras - Pocket 6K, Ursa Mini Pro G1 & G2 • The camera does not supply the app with any information on the lenses current focus distance, so the app will not update in real time if you pull focus manually on the lens • Due to the nature of bluetooth, focus pulls may not be 100% smooth. It works well for nice slow pulls, but fast pulls my not feel entirely natural and organic. Unfortunately this is a limitation of the available technology. • On EF mount cameras, we can only offset focus from its current position, with no broader knowledge of where the lens is in its focus range. This means that focus marks are not possible. In addition, focus pulls on EF mount cameras can be quite jerky depending on the lens in use. -- Playback Control -- With Bluetooth+ you can control the playback of clips right from your iOS device. There are some notable limitations at this point. Currently you can: • Start playing a clip, either forwards or backwards • Navigate between clips, either forwards or backwards For now, you will not be able to: • Pause a clip that is already playing • Change the speed of a clip that is already playing • Control clip looping -- Zoom Control -- Control the zoom level on supported lenses. For the most part, this will only work on MFT lenses with electronic zoom. We are currently unaware of EF lenses that support this feature -- Slate-Only Mode -- As the name suggests, this feature locks the app into Slate-Only mode, without the ability to change critical camera settings or start/stop recording. This means you can let an assistant keep metadata up to date without the fear of interfering with important camera settings.

Agitate is a darkroom timer for iPhone and Apple Watch. Load a process, fill your tank, press Start, and work by feel: a big countdown and an Invert Now prompt on the phone, a buzz on your wrist at every inversion and step change, and the next event on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. You do not have to touch the phone with wet hands to know what comes next. Film-box yellow, black ink, sprocket edges: built to be read from across the room. FREE TO START, ONE PURCHASE FOR THE REST The download is a complete single-tank timer: one tank with up to eight rolls in it, every bundled preset, push and pull by stops, temperature compensation, the Live Activity and alerts, the Sunny 16 meter, and a lab log of every roll you develop. Agitate Pro is a one-time purchase, shared with your family through Family Sharing, that adds up to four tanks at once, the chemistry shelf, the shooting diary and stats, and the Apple Watch app. Sections marked Pro need it. UP TO FOUR TANKS AT ONCE (PRO) Run one tank or four, each with its own process, color and label. Stagger the starts so the tanks come due one after another. Pause one tank while the others keep running, or pause them all. TIMING THAT HOLDS UP Agitate does not count seconds. Every countdown is computed from the moment a tank started and its step schedule, so after time in the background it comes back showing the true state. Inversion, step and completion alerts are local notifications scheduled from those same start times, each with its own sound and haptic setting. APPLE WATCH COMPANION (PRO) The watch takes over a running session: the next tank to flip as a large countdown, other tanks as chips, a swipe to pause or resume. It schedules its own alerts, so it buzzes at every inversion and step boundary with the phone locked in your pocket, and a watch-face complication shows the time to the next flip. PRESETS AND PROCESSES Ships with CineStill Cs41, B&W standard (D-76), E-6 and DF-96 monobath. Build your own with any number of steps, review and adjust each tank before a run without touching the saved process, and share any process as an .agitaterecipe file. CHEMISTRY THAT KNOWS ITS AGE (PRO) Keep a shelf of mixed batches with mix date, rated capacity and shelf life. Attach one to a tank and Agitate counts the rolls through it, warns you at capacity, and extends the developer time for reused chemistry from a published reuse schedule (Unicolor C-41) or a flat per-roll rate. For C-41, a change of developer temperature recomputes the time from the published chart; off the chart, Agitate says so instead of guessing. Optional expiry reminders fire as a batch nears its shelf life. A calculator and the Ilford wash helper round it out. THE LAB LOG AND THE NOTEBOOK Every roll the timer develops gets a journal entry: process, push, temperature, roll number and the real development time, filled in at completion. Name each roll's stock at setup or afterwards, keep a film-stock library with colours, rate the roll and add a note. With Agitate Pro the entry becomes a shooting diary: camera, lens, EI, subject and date shot, with the journal grouped by day or by stock, filtered by date, stock and process, and a stats screen over what you filtered. SUNNY 16 METER A meter you read by eye. Pick the light from six conditions, set the ISO from a film stock or by hand, and read the aperture at 1/ISO. Slide over to see the same exposure at every full stop, and correct a long exposure for reciprocity with published curves. NOTHING COLLECTED Agitate works entirely offline: no account, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDK. The only network traffic is Apple's own App Store purchase and restore, handled by iOS. Notifications are local. Your data stays on your iPhone. REQUIREMENTS iPhone with iOS 17 or later; iPhone only. The Apple Watch app needs watchOS 10 or later and installs with the iPhone app. Dynamic Island features need an iPhone that has one.
