Using an External RS-422 Controller
All current HyperDeck models feature an industry standard Sony™ compatible RS-422 deck
control port, which has the correct pin connections for a direct connection to any remote
controller with RS-422.
You can use pre-manufactured 9 pin cables as long as each end of the cable is wired 'pin for
pin' where the same pin numbers on each end of the cable are connected together. If you
would like to make custom cables, please refer to the accompanying wiring diagram.
You can remotely control your HyperDeck from an RS-422 controller instead of locally
pushing buttons.
1
Connect a video signal to your HyperDeck's video input.
2
Connect an RS-422 cable from your external controller to your HyperDeck.
3
Enable remote control by pressing the remote button on the front control panel, or via
the LCD menu in HyperDeck Studio Mini, to allow remote deck control.
You can now remotely start and stop recording and playback of your HyperDeck as well as
performing other common jog and shuttle functions. The full list of supported RS-422
commands is in the following section named 'supported RS-422 commands'.
