Connecting your Video Signal

With the HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR, you can use the large touchscreen display to view

playback ofyour tape device.

To connect your video signals:

1 Connect a BNC cable to the ‘SDI out’ connection on the rear of your tape based deck

to the ‘SDI in A’ connection on the HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR.

2 Insert your cassette tape into the tape based deck.

3 Put your deck into ‘remote’ mode.

TIP The HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR can accept both digital and analog based

sources, meaning you can also archive media from analog based tape decks. Just

connect the composite out of the tape deck to the composite in on the rear of the

HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR.

Reference Signal

The HyperDeck Extreme Control features reference in and reference out connections on the

rear panel to allow synchronous recordings.

If you are using an external reference source, connect your reference signal from the ‘ref out’

ofyourreference device or deck to the ‘ref in’ on the controller.

Selecting your Devices

Now that your RS-422 devices and video signals are attached, it’s time to select them on the

HyperDeck Extreme Control front panel. Choose you record and playback deck by selecting

the numbered soft touch button in the playback or record row.

1 On the front panel of the controller, press the button numbered ‘1’ on the top row.

Thisselects the tape deck you previously connected into the first RS-422 connection

as your playback deck. The button surround will illuminate green.

Press number ‘2’ button on the second row to select the HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR

as your ‘record’ deck. The button surround will illuminate red to indicate this deck is

the recorder.

The green number 1 button indicated the playback deck,

the red button 2 indicates the recording deck.

Using the M button you can control multiple decks at once. Simply hold down the M button and

press the numbers for the decks. It’s worth noting that once you’ve selected multiple decks, the

timecode and status indicators will display the lowest numbered deck selected. For example, if

you have selected numbers 2,3 and 4 as playback decks, the status and timecode will display

deck number 2. See ‘using the multi deck feature’ later in this manual for more information.
