I've been surprised that BM hasn't released a way to control HyperDecks, especially since now you can shade cameras via ATEM Software Control. I found two apps, one for mac and one for iPhone/iPad to control them, but only one deck at a time.

So, I built a web interface that can run on a local server, or virtual server, to control hyperdecks. I also built in a function to sync multiple decks or be able to trigger multiple decks simultaneously.

My hopes is that it would be a resource to everyone who uses them day-to day, to increase usability, and streamline workflow. I made it available for free via my website.

I am open to improving it or increasing its performance. I built it on what I know, PHP, but I'm sure there are probably ways to make it more efficient. So if you have any ideas please feel free to share!

Wonder if the Hyperdeck Shuttle could be controlled via USB 2.0? Anyone know if that's a possibility?

Nope. This is for the Ethernet protocol and the shuttle doesn't feature device control over USB

I will run some tests on this next week. Awesome work from first impressions. Thank you. I've been wanting something like this.

Let us know what your experience was after you used it.

I've tried to get this to work, but when I get to the last step and try typing in the ip address, all i get is a white screen. I never seem to actually ever see the hyper deck control. I've done the config screen exactly like it shows, but can never access the control screen after that.

So it only happens when you modify the IP string? Let me see if I can replicate it or you can send me a screenshot if you'd like.

jparker, I think I solved your issue. If an IP string is missing its end quote or beginning quote that will render the whole config file incorrectly. The IP string when you modify it needs to have quote marks around it. For example:
"tcp://192.168.1.123"

Double check that the ip is being wrapped in quotations. And for that matter just make sure every string in the config file has quotes around it. One missing one will render the whole file incorrect. Each string should look like $thevariable = "some value";

Note that the red characters are a must. Chances are one is missing.
