Connecting Hyperdecks; Hyperdeck Settings - Blackmagicdesign ATEM Installation And Operation Manual

Connecting HyperDecks

Connecting Blackmagic HyperDecks to your switcher is very similar to connecting cameras and
other video sources via your switcher's SDI or HDMI inputs. The only additional connection is
Ethernet which lets your ATEM switcher communicate with the HyperDeck disk recorder.
1 Make sure your ATEM switcher and hardware panel software are updated to version
6.8 or newer, and your HyperDeck disk recorder is running HyperDeck software 4.3
or newer.
2 Using the Ethernet connector, connect your HyperDeck disk recorder to the same
network your ATEM switcher is connected to.
3 Press the remote button marked 'REM' on the HyperDeck's control panel. The 'REM'
button will illuminate which means the HyperDeck has remote control enabled. On
HyperDeck Studio Mini, remote is enabled by setting the 'remote' setting to 'on' using
the LCD menu.

Plug the SDI or HDMI output of a HyperDeck into one of
your ATEM switcher's SDI or HDMI inputs
4 Plug the SDI or HDMI output of your HyperDeck into one of the SDI or HDMI inputs of
your ATEM Switcher.
5 Repeat the process for each HyperDeck you want to connect.
Now all you have to do is tell ATEM Software Control or ATEM hardware panel which input and
IP address each HyperDeck is using. You can do this easily in the HyperDeck tab in
ATEM Software Control switcher settings, or using the system control soft buttons or LCD menu
on an ATEM hardware panel.
TIP If you want to record the output from your switcher to a HyperDeck, plug your
switcher's program or auxiliary SDI output into the SDI input of the HyperDeck. If using
the auxiliary output to record the program feed, don't forget to route the program
output to the aux output. Or if you want to, you can even record a clean feed, or any
of your switcher's inputs by routing them to the aux output.

HyperDeck Settings

HyperDeck connection settings are located in the 'HyperDeck' tab of the ATEM Software
Control switcher settings. Here you'll see setup options for up to four HyperDecks.
Type in your HyperDeck's IP address in the 'IP Address' box and choosing the source it's
plugged into from the 'input' dropdown menu. Click 'connect' and your HyperDeck is ready
to be controlled.
Status indicators appear above and below each HyperDeck icon to let you know the connection
status. A green tick means your HyperDeck is connected, in remote and ready to go.
If your HyperDeck is connected and recognized, but does not have its remote button enabled,
you will see an indicator letting you know remote is not active.
