RS-422 Control
What is RS-422 Control?
The RS-422 standard is commonly supported by NLE hardware and software and allows video players and
recorders to be remotely controlled by an external RS-422 controller or capture device. You can remotely
control HyperDeck Studio models using your favorite NLE software and video capture hardware to remotely
capture, batch capture and play back video with your HyperDeck Studio. All you need to do is connect an
RS-422 cable from your capture device to HyperDeck Studio and press the REM button to enable remote
deck control.
Using an External RS-422 Controller
Both HyperDeck Studio 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 Studio from an RS-422 controller instead of locally pushing
buttons.
Step 1. Connect a video signal to an SDI or HDMI video input of your HyperDeck Studio.
Step 2. Connect an RS-422 cable from your external controller to your HyperDeck Studio.
Step 3. Press the REM button to enable remote deck control.
You can now remotely start and stop recording and playback of your HyperDeck Studio 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".
