Daisy-chaining for Crash Recording
You can simultaneously record the same SDI video signal to multiple HyperDeck Studios. Press the REM
button on each HyperDeck Studio to enable remote deck control. Each HyperDeck Studio can be set to
record in a compressed or uncompressed video format using HyperDeck Utility.
Step 1. Connect a video signal to the SDI video input of the first HyperDeck Studio in the chain.
Step 2. If you are working entirely in high definition, connect a single channel RS-422 controller to the first
HyperDeck Studio in the chain. RP188 timecode will be sent over SDI to every other HyperDeck
in the chain. If working with standard definition video, you will need a multiple channel RS-422
controller connected to each HyperDeck Studio in your chain via RS-422.
Step 3. Connect an SDI cable from the SDI Loop output on the first HyperDeck Studio to the second
HyperDeck Studio's SDI input. Repeat this for however many HyperDeck Studios you want to
daisy-chain together.
Step 4. On the first HyperDeck Studio, press the DISP button. Scroll down to Record and press SET. In the
record menu, scroll to Record Trigger and press SET. Scroll to Timecode Run and press SET.
Step 5. Press the DISP button to exit the record menu. All connected HyperDeck Studios will record the
same video signal simultaneously.
You can now use your external RS-422 controller to set multiple HyperDeck Studios to remotely crash record
the same video signal.
