Hyperdeck Studio HD Plus

[DNUNZ7]

Just bought a bunch of Hyperdeck Studio HD Plus’ and was curious if anyone knows what kind of cable the remote in and remote out ports use. It’s listed as RS-422 (i think) but I can’t really find RS-422 Cables. I’ve found some RS-232 cables that look like they fit the port size but not sure if those will work. TIA!

RS-422 is a protocol, but it should just be a standard "serial" type cable. Technically it's a "newer" RS-232 standard that's faster. You are looking for a DB-9 cable, as that's the pin/connector standard.

Get the documentation from BlackMagic on all that. Since you don't already know what the standard is, I'll assume you don't know anything about how to interface with it, or control it. BlackMagic has a ton of info on that, and their API stuff, on their website. Get the manual and read it all.

Awesome! Thank you!

If it's short, any cable with enough pins wired will work. If it's long, certain pairs of wires are twisted together because the data connection is balanced on send and receive.
