So for the past few days i have been trying to get my arduino to communicate with my Black Magic switcher but with no success. i have gone through the setup process multiple times with no luck. i connected it to my network through my router using the web server sketch in the ethernet examples so i know the board is working. But i can not get it to connect to my switcher. I have set up the MAC and IP address, and i am using the IP address for the switcher i found in atem setup utility.
this is what the serial monitor is showing. i let it run for a while just to see if it was trying to find a port but nothing changed, this is just a few lines.
Serial Started

Sending connect packet to ATEM switcher on IP 192.168.10.240 from port 59294
here is my code, im just using the
/*****************
* Basic ATEM Connection
* Connects to the Atem Switcher and outputs keep-alive package information
*
* - kasper
*/
/*****************
* TO MAKE THIS EXAMPLE WORK:
* - You must have an Arduino with Ethernet Shield (or compatible such as "Arduino Ethernet", http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardEthernet)
* - You must have an Atem Switcher connected to the same network as the Arduino - and you should have it working with the desktop software
* - You must make specific set ups in the below lines where the comment "// SETUP" is found!

// Start the Ethernet, Serial (debugging) and UDP:
Ethernet.begin(mac,clientIp);
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial << F("\n- - - - - - - -\nSerial Started\n");
Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
// Initialize a connection to the switcher:
AtemSwitcher.begin(switcherIp);
AtemSwitcher.serialOutput(2);
AtemSwitcher.connect();
// Shows free memory:
Serial << F("freeMemory()=") << freeMemory() << "\n";
}
void loop() {
// Check for packets, respond to them etc. Keeping the connection alive!
// VERY important that this function is called all the time - otherwise connection might be lost because packets from the switcher is
// overlooked and not responded to.
AtemSwitcher.runLoop();
}
any ideas on what i might be doing wrong?
