The deck status indicators to the left of the search dial display the conditions of the
active player or recorder.
Ref
A valid reference signal is important to maintain synchronous timecode
between the connected decks. If the 'ref' status signal is unlit, your deck
doesn't have a reference signal that matches your format. Connect a cable
from the ref out of the controller rear panel to the ref in on your deck.
Servo
An illuminated servo light indicates that the tape deck is in playback or record
mode. If your deck is idle, you may need to press a button on it to establish the
servo status.
Remote
The remote LED lets you know whether the remote switch on the connected
deck is on or off. If the 'remote' indicator is not illuminated, this means your
connected deck is not in remote. While you can see the status of the deck and
the timecode, you will be unable to control the deck with the transport buttons
or search dial. The location of the remote button or switch on traditional
broadcast decks can vary. If you are unable to locate the remote button or
switch, refer to your deck's manual.
TIP
HyperDeck Studio models and HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR have a
REM button on the front panel to turn on remote mode. If you are using a
HyperDeck Studio Mini, remote mode can be enabled via the control panel
display menu on the front panel.
Testing Control
Once your playback and record decks have the remote button enabled, you can then use the
search dial and transport controls to test control and navigate to the location on your deck.
1
To control the playback deck, press the 'player' button. The timecode display on the
controller will now update to reflect the timecode on your deck.
2
Turn the search dial to the right or left, or press the forward or rewind buttons.
The timecode will update to reflect the forward or reverse motion.
3
To control the record deck, press 'recorder'. The timecode and status indicators will
now match those of your HyperDeck recorder. Turn the search dial to confirm control
or press one of the transport buttons.
Now that you have established control over your HyperDeck recorder and Digi Beta deck,
you can use the search dial or transport buttons to locate your 'in' and 'out' points.
Finding your Timecode Point using the Search Dial
The HyperDeck Extreme Control search dial has three modes; shuttle, jog and position.
The selected button will illuminate when you choose your mode. The search direction
indicators will illuminate to show you which direction your are moving and at what speed.
Once you are spooled to your desired location, you can set your in and out points.
