Mockup Blackmagic Videohub Server

A mockup server that emulates the Blackmagic Videohub Ethernet Protocol v2.3, allowing you to test and develop applications without access to actual hardware.

Features

• Emulates the Blackmagic Videohub Ethernet Protocol v2.3
• Configurable number of inputs and outputs (IO ports)
• Customizable listening port
• Ideal for testing and development purposes

Installation

You can run the mockup server directly using npx:

npx @bitfocusas/mockup-bmd-videohub

Alternatively, install it globally:

npm install -g @bitfocusas/mockup-bmd-videohub

Usage

Environment Variables

• IO: Sets the number of input/output ports (default: 128).
• PORT: Sets the listening port for the server (default: 9990).

Running the Server

To start the server with default settings:

npx @bitfocusas/mockup-bmd-videohub

To specify the number of IO ports and the listening port:

IO=128 PORT=9991 npx @bitfocusas/mockup-bmd-videohub

Example with custom settings:

export IO=64
export PORT=9992
npx @bitfocusas/mockup-bmd-videohub

Or in one line:

IO=64 PORT=9992 npx @bitfocusas/mockup-bmd-videohub

The server will start and announce:

Starting server with 64 IOs
Successfully bound 9992
