RS-422 Control
What is RS-422 Control?
The RS-422 standard is a serial deck control broadcast standard and has been used by
broadcasters since the early 1980s and is found on many decks, linear editors, non linear
editors and broadcast automation products. All current HyperDeck models support this
standard so can be integrated into broadcast automation, remote control systems, editing
systems and any kind of custom control you might like to design yourself.
HyperDeck Extreme also supports file based commands from the Advanced Media Protocol
via RS-422. This lets you control your HyperDeck with an external device using AMP commands
such as adding clips to a playlist, determining the filename of the next clip, looping a single clip
or timeline, or clearing a playlist.
Using an External RS-422 Controller
All current HyperDeck 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 that supports 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.
Using RS-422 control means you can build your own custom controller, or incorporate your
HyperDeck Extreme into an already existing RS-422 control solution.
For example, you can remotely start and stop recording and playback of your HyperDeck 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'.
