Blackmagic HyperDeck

Connect a HyperDeck as a recorder in Pixelrush.

Capabilities

A HyperDeck provides one capability to Pixelrush:

  • Recorders — the deck exposes its transport state (recording or stopped) and accepts record and stop commands.

Add the HyperDeck

  1. Open Settings → Connections.
  2. Select Add Connection.
  3. From Connection Type, choose HyperDeck Recorder.
  4. Fill in the form:
    • Connection Name — a short label you will recognize later, for example A-Roll Deck.
    • IP Address — the HyperDeck's IP address on your local network. Configure this in the deck's network settings; see the HyperDeck manual for the steps that match your model.
  5. Select Add Connection to save.

Verify the connection

The status indicator next to the connection name changes to Connected once the link is established. The deck also appears in Settings → Recorders, where you can choose which recorders to monitor on live sessions and which to arm for automatic sessions.

If the status stays on Connecting, see the Troubleshooting guide.
