User's Manual
The next section of the manual provides a basic workflow example showing how to control a
broadcast deck for archiving material to a HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR.
HyperDeck Extreme Control Workflow
The following example features a traditional broadcast tape deck recording to a HyperDeck
Extreme 8K HDR recorder, but you don’t need to use a HyperDeck with the HyperDeck
Extreme Control. You could connect two or more traditional broadcast decks and dub from tape
to tape or connect up to 8 decks to control simultaneous playback at the press of a button.
Connecting your RS-422 Devices
RS-422 connections on the rear of the HyperDeck Extreme Control allow up to 8 RS-422
enabled decks and devices to be attached from the rear of your HyperDeck recorder or
broadcast deck to the RS-422 connections on the rear panel of the HyperDeck Extreme
Control. Up to 8 separate devices can be connected.
1 Connect a 9 pin serial cable from the RS-422 connection on your tape based deck to
the firstRS-422 connection on the controller.
2 Now connect a serial cable from the RS-422 connection on your HyperDeck recorder
to the second RS-422 connection on the HyperDeck Extreme Control.
3 You can repeat these steps to connect up to 8 devices.
By tightening the screws to either side of your 9 pin serial
cable, you can prevent any interruption to the connection.
TIP HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR and HyperDeck Extreme Control can both be rack
mounted using the HyperDeck rack mount kit. See the section ‘accessories’ later in
this manual.
