BM Controller vs Oropod

BM Controller is a powerful utility that lets you wirelessly control supported Blackmagic Design cameras using the Camera Control API. Built for reliability and speed, it gives filmmakers and creators a clean, responsive interface to adjust essential camera parameters in real time. Designed specifically for iPhone, BM Controller communicates with your Blackmagic camera over the network. Once connected, you can remotely access and configure a wide range of camera settings — without physically touching the hardware. The following models implement the same Camera Control API version (v1.0) and are supported: • Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 • Cinema Camera 6K • Studio Camera 4K Plus • Studio Camera 4K Plus G2 • Studio Camera 4K Pro • Studio Camera 4K Pro G2 • Studio Camera 6K Pro • URSA Broadcast G2 Note: These models are supported by the API specification. BM Controller interfaces with any compatible device using the documented endpoints but does not perform additional validation per model. Certain features, such as zoom or autofocus, depend on the physical capabilities of the camera and lens. If a lens does not support electronic zoom, the zoom control will not produce any effect. Core Features - Free Edition Single Device Control • Control one Blackmagic camera at a time with direct network communication. Comprehensive Camera Settings • Adjust shutter speed (with Auto), ISO, white balance, tint, aperture (with Auto), focus, zoom, focal length, gain, device codec, frame-rate, and off-speed recording. Audio Control • View and modify levels for two audio channels, and choose from available audio inputs per channel. Recording Control • Start and stop recordings, monitor recording status, and view real-time media availability. Visual Feedback System • Tally indicators and lock states alert you to external recordings or missing media. Built-In Support Resources • Includes a connectivity guide, accessories reference, and device compatibility list — all available from within the app. BM Controller App for the Video Production industry BM Controller is ideal for mobile content creators, videographers, and technicians working with Blackmagic Design cameras in live production or studio environments.

Oropod puts your production's footage in your hands. Made for film and TV professionals, it turns the storage and services you already use into one fast, searchable library of dailies. No new silo, and no uploading everything one more time. FIND ANY TAKE IN SECONDS: Oropod understands how productions are organised. Find any clip by scene, shot, take number, shooting day or tag (including circled takes), and search notes and metadata from the script supervisor, camera and other sources. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY USE: Connect Frame.io projects, network storage (SMB), and Blackmagic URSA cameras, and browse everything side by side. More integrations are on the way. ALWAYS AVAILABLE, EVEN OFFLINE: Oropod works from a local copy of your data. Auto-download clips and metadata so browsing, searching and playback keep working in a basement studio, on a remote location, or on a plane. When disk space runs low, Oropod frees it automatically. MADE FOR ON-SET USE: Native performance on iPad, iPhone and Mac. Group files by take, switch between take versions, compare notes, and play footage right where you found it. Browsing stays instant and out of your way, so you can focus on the work. PRIVATE BY DESIGN: Your media flows directly between your device and your own storage and services. You sign in to connected services on your device, credentials stay in your Keychain, and diagnostics never include personal data. See our privacy policy for details. WHO IS IT FOR: Directors, producers, editors, script supervisors, DITs, and everyone else who needs the footage at their fingertips: on set, in the production office, or in the cutting room. GETTING STARTED: Explore the built-in demo productions to see how Oropod works, then connect your own sources. Browsing network storage is free. Connecting third-party services such as Frame.io requires a subscription, with a free trial so you can make sure everything works for you. Oropod has been developed in close collaboration with working filmmakers and thoroughly tested on real productions. Questions or feedback?
