Transport controls are located in the HyperDecks palette in ATEM Software Control, or in the
system control menu on an ATEM broadcast panel, which lets you play back video, jog and
shuttle, skip clips, pause and more. You can also record video.
When you combine this feature with ATEM’s powerful macros feature, it opens up a world of
creative possibilities that can really enhance your live production!
Connecting HyperDecks
Connecting Blackmagic HyperDecks to your switcher is very similar to connecting cameras and
other video sources via your switcher’s SDI or HDMI inputs. The only additional connection is
Ethernet which lets your ATEM switcher communicate with the HyperDeck disk recorder.
1 Make sure your ATEM switcher and broadcast panel software are updated to version
6.8 or newer, and your HyperDeck disk recorder is running HyperDeck software 4.3
or newer.
2 Using the Ethernet connector, connect your HyperDeck disk recorder to the same
network your ATEM switcher is connected to.
3 Press the remote button marked ‘REM’ on the HyperDeck’s control panel. The ‘REM’
button will illuminate which means the HyperDeck has remote control enabled.
Plugging the SDI output of a HyperDeck into the SDI input of an ATEM 2
M/E Production Studio 4K switcher.
4 Plug the SDI or HDMI output of your HyperDeck into one of the SDI or HDMI inputs of
your ATEM Switcher.
5 If you want to record your ATEM switcher’s program output with your HyperDeck, plug
one of the switcher’s SDI auxiliary outputs into the SDI input of your HyperDeck.
6 Repeat the process for each HyperDeck you want to connect.
Now all you have to do is tell your ATEM software or ATEM broadcast panel which input and
IPaddress each HyperDeck is using. You can do this easily in the HyperDeck tab in
ATEMSoftware Control switcher settings, or using the system control soft buttons on an
ATEMbroadcast panel.
