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, nonlinear 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 Studio 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 with RS-422, for example HyperDeck Extreme Control.
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.
You can remotely control your HyperDeck from HyperDeck Extreme Control instead of locally
pushing buttons.
1 Connect a video signal to your HyperDeck’s video input.
2 Connect an RS-422 cable from your HyperDeck Extreme Control to your
HyperDeck Studio.
3 Enable remote control by pressing the remote button on the front control panel, or via
the LCD menu in HyperDeck Studio Mini, to allow remote deck control.
You can now 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’.
