How to detect hyperdecks on the network (without SDK)

PostThu Nov 10, 2022 9:29 am

Hi,

Is there a network broadcast / multicast message I can send / listen for to detect hyperdecks on the same network without the sdk if I just want to use the ethernet control protocol and not the full sdk?

I can do everything I need with the ethernet control protocol except find the devices. I'm guessing there's something but can't find documentation on it.

Thanks

Hi
HyperDecks announce their ftp service using Bonjour (so look for _ftp._tcp)

Older HyperDecks (as well as all ATEM switchers) use Bonjour to broadcast their information.

Search for service "_blackmagic._tcp.".
Newer HyperDecks announce their information with the service "_bmd_blockcfg._tcp.".

You can check your devices on your network using a Bonjour browser, for macOS e.g. there is a free app called "Discovery".

Cheers,

Nina

Thanks Binakadin, did not know that!
_bmd_blockcfg._tcp. works like a charm
