Connecting HyperDeck Extreme
HyperDeck Extreme Control features eight RS-422 connectors on the rear panel to allow
remote control of up to 8 HyperDeck units, or broadcast decks.
Connect the HyperDeck Extreme’s ‘remote in’ connector to your HyperDeck controller’s
RS-422 port labeled ‘remote out 1’ using an RS-422 serial cable.
By tightening the screws on both sides of the RS-422 connector, you
can prevent any interruption to the connection.
Enabling Remote Control on your HyperDeck
Now that your HyperDeck Extreme is connected, press the remote button labeled ‘rem’ on the
unit’s front panel. This lets your HyperDeck disk recorder knowthat you are assigning remote
control to HyperDeck Extreme Control.
Playback using HyperDeck Extreme Control
The two rows of numbered soft buttons on the HyperDeck Extreme Control correspond to the
numbered RS-422 ports on the rear panel. Earlier in this section we connected HyperDeck
Extreme to RS-422 port 1. This means you can control that HyperDeck as either the record or
playback unit by selecting unit 1 on the playback and record buttons.
To enable the HyperDeck as a playback unit, simply press the ‘1’ button in the playback row.
The ‘1’ playback button will now be green.
If it’s not already illuminated, tap on the ‘player’ button. The timecode display and status
indicators on your HyperDeck controller will match the playback unit. Your HyperDeck
Extreme is ready to be operated using HyperDeck Extreme Control’s powerful deck controls.
