Interface with Videohub SDI Matrix Switchers and SmartView Monitors by

`Blackmagic Design `_.

The primary purpose is for use as a library in other applications, but a GUI

application is included (requires installation of the `Kivy framework <#install-kivy>`_

Since neither the devices nor the software for them support presets or macros,

a need arose for instantaneous multiple routing changes.  This, as well as

setting the names for inputs and outputs within a single application can be

accomplished using this project.
