A Bridge Between Classic Remote Controls and the HyperDeck Ecosystem
Designed to fit within the professional HyperDeck range, the
HyperDeck Extreme Control delivers the feel of a traditional deck control while managing modern recorders. Compatible with the
Sony control protocol via RS-422, it enables control room and post-production teams to adopt the HyperDeck Extreme 8K without changing their workflows.
For Whom and For What Uses?
Ideal for live control rooms, ingest suites, TV studios, or archiving, this controller centralizes the command of multiple machines. Video reference synchronization and LED timecode display facilitate the management of recordings, pickups, and timecode conforming in environments where reliability and speed are paramount.
Key Features for Reliable Control
Multi-Device Control
Operate up to eight recorders from a single panel to orchestrate redundant recordings, media switching, or synchronized copies. The familiar interface design reduces the learning curve in broadcast environments.
Reference and Synchronization
The reference input accepts tri-sync or black burst, and the output follows the input to cascade the reference signal. You maintain clock consistency across all devices.
