I have a series of PTZ 4k60 12g cameras that feed into my main production where I can record video on my HyperDeck Extremes, however I would like to have an additional recording at the camera location, however I want to be able to remote start and stop the recording without moving to each camera. I don't see documentation from my camera that I could trigger a record signal off the SDI signal, so the Video Assist behavior of triggering off of the SDI signal may not be sufficient.
The 7" models of Video Assist have the LANC connector on them, and can have the recording triggered that way, however I've not seen a reasonable route of passing a remote signal to the LANC to then pass on to the Video Assist ($469 for a Skaarhoj ETH-LANC Linc seems higher than reasonable).
Has someone figured out a way to reliably trigger the recording on a remote Blackmagic recorder? The UltraStudio 4K mini also doesn't have a ethernet connection, and a HyperDeck Studio 12G is too large for my remote locations. A Video Assist 7" 12G HDR would fit into the form of my remote "islands", but I'd have no way to control it.
