Or for configuration:
configuration: video input: SDI audio input: XLR
Or to switch to the second disk, but only play NTSC clips:
slot select: slot id: 2 video format: NTSC
Using XML
While you can use the Terminal to talk to HyperDeck, if you are writing software you can use XML to
confirm the existence of a specific command based on the firmware of the HyperDeck you are
communicating with. This helps your software user interface adjust to the capabilities of the specific
HyperDeck model and software version.
Protocol Details
Connection
The HyperDeck Ethernet server listens on TCP port 9993.
Basic syntax
The HyperDeck protocol is a line oriented text protocol. Lines from the server will be separated by an ascii
CR LF sequence. Messages from the client may be separated by LF or CR LF.
New lines are represented in this document as a "↵" symbol.
Command syntax
Command parameters are usually optional. A command with no parameters is terminated with a new line:
{Command name}↵
If parameters are specified, the command name is followed by a colon, then pairs of parameter names and
values. Each parameter name is terminated with a colon character:
{Command name}: {Parameter}: {Value} {Parameter}: {Value} ... ↵
Response syntax
Simple responses from the server consist of a three digit response code and descriptive text terminated by
a new line:
{Response code} {Response text}↵
If a response carries parameters, the response text is terminated with a colon, and parameter name and
value pairs follow on subsequent lines until a blank line is returned:
{Response code} {Response text}:↵
{Parameter}: {Value}↵
{Parameter}: {Value}↵
...
↵
