Plugging in Power
To power your HyperDeck Extreme Control, connect an IEC cable to the AC power input on the
rear of the unit. You can also use the 12V DC input if you want to connect external power or
redundancy via an external power supply, for example an uninterruptible power supply or
external 12V battery.
Connecting HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR
HyperDeck Extreme Control features eight RS-422 connectors on the rear panel to allow
remote control of up to 8 HyperDeck units, or broadcast decks.
Connect the HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR's 'remote in' connector to your HyperDeck
controller's RS-422 port labelled '1' using an RS-422 serial cable.
By tightening the screws on both sides of the RS-422 connector, you
can prevent any interruption to the connection.
Enabling Remote Control on your HyperDeck
Now that your HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR is connected, press the remote button labelled
'rem' on the unit's front panel. This lets your HyperDeck disk recorder know that you are
assigning remote control to HyperDeck Extreme Control.
Playback using HyperDeck Extreme Control
The two rows of numbered soft buttons on the HyperDeck Extreme Control correspond to the
numbered RS-422 ports on the rear panel. Earlier in this section we connected HyperDeck
Extreme 8K HDR to RS-422 port 1. This means you can control that HyperDeck as either the
record or playback unit by selecting unit 1 on the playback and record buttons.
To enable the HyperDeck as a playback unit, simply press the '1' button in the playback row.
The '1' playback button will now be green.
