XR-FreeD_to_UDP

Project description

Overview Modern virtual production (XR) stages live on the network. Engines like Unreal Engine, Pixotope, and Vizrt expect camera tracking data to arrive as UDP packets over Ethernet. But a huge installed base of broadcast camera-tracking hardware still speaks FreeD (D1) over RS-422 serial — a point-to-point legacy link with no concept of an IP network. XR-FreeD_to_UDP closes that gap. It is an Arduino-based protocol converter that reads 29-byte FreeD D1 frames from an RS-422 line and re-broadcasts them as UDP unicast packets to up to four production engines simultaneously. The interesting…
