Set the record timer to start and finish a recording automatically.

It monitors if all decks are in the state requested and whether a deck’s remaining recording capacity gets below certain limits. • information is displayed graphically and optionally acoustically using spoken messages in clear English • connect your iOS device running HyperSynchron via audio out to an intercom system, hear all warnings and you can concentrate on your main job, e.g. vision mixing, In case you missed a message due to hustle and bustle in live operation, it can be repeated with a single tap. • The recorded clips on SSD / SD card are displayed and accessible in a list. Tapping on a list item tells the deck to jump to the first frame of it. • You can wind fast forward and backward in clips using the innovative Jog/Shuttle control. You decide whether you control all decks at once or only a single one. Use the additional pause button to control your HyperDecks in traditional VTR-mode. • In single deck window you can use all setup options provided by Blackmagic like slot, recording, video and audio options, formatting storage media, setting base clip name. • integrated timer functionality: A very helpful feature to set a time for start (and optionally end) of recording, so the decks begin automatically to record. We all know how much hectic there is before a live event starts and to set all decks to record mode easily gets forgotten. That’s history now. The speech assistant informs you about a successful or unsuccessful start of recording.
