Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Extreme Control

Reap Full Control of Your Video Deck

Do you need a formidable control option for your HyperDeck Extreme video deck? Look no further than the HyperDeck Extreme Control from Blackmagic Design. Capable of handling up to eight broadcast deck units at a time, the HyperDeck Extreme Control is a sensible solution to controlling your rackmounted deck setup. Onboard 1Gb/s, USB-C, and legacy-compatible RS-422 deck control outputs further extend use to several devices and possible setup options, enabling astute video recording and playback control across several potential applications. Whether you’re looking to control a pre-existing legacy broadcast deck system or add to the versatility of a brand-new HyperDeck setup, the Extreme Control unit will ensure peak workflow efficiency.

Eight RS-422 deck control outputs

You read that right. The HyperDeck Extreme Control’s eight onboard RS-422 connections allow control of up to eight separate decks simultaneously. City Music A/V enthusiasts have found that utilizing Blackmagic Design’s HyperDeck Extreme 4K and HK HDR models produces the best results; however, legacy support through the HyperDeck Extreme Control means you’ll have full authority over older equipment, including D2, Betacam SP, and Digital Betacam broadcast decks. No matter the complexity and size of your current video deck setup, the HyperDeck Extreme Control will ensure you’ve always got a solid hold on your workflow.

Traditional controls leverage advanced functionality

Given it’s high-quality search dial, onboard transport functions, and visual time-code display, the Blackmagic Design Hyperdeck Control offers no shortage of detailed workflow control. The dial serves as both a jog and shuttle control, complete with an electronic clutch and free spinning features, making movements up and down your recording a walk in the park. Likewise, familiar Broadcast VTR style transport controls are universally easy to use. Plus, to ensure the safety of cassettes and other physical media, REC and PLAY controls must be pressed to start recording over a master. Topped off with additional fast-forward and reverse functionality, you’ll have no problem navigating your work when the time comes.
