Blackmagic HyperDeck control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support Blackmagic HyperDeck?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made Blackmagic HyperDeck handler (version 1.9.0) that talks to the device over TCP, default port 9993. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the Blackmagic HyperDeck handler use?
TCP, default port 9993. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control Blackmagic HyperDeck from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every Blackmagic HyperDeck action can be mapped to an Elgato Stream Deck key, to a button on a custom Fantago touch panel, to a timed schedule, or to a logic flow triggered by another device — including devices from a different manufacturer.
Can I modify the Blackmagic HyperDeck handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (bmd_hyperdeck.js) that you can download from this page, edit and drop back into Fantago. You can also write your own handler from scratch — see the Developer Guide.
Control Blackmagic HyperDeck from a single interface
Fantago drives Blackmagic HyperDeck alongside 50+ other broadcast, lighting, audio and smart home devices — from custom touch panels, an Elgato Stream Deck, a schedule or a logic flow. One-time licence, no subscription, runs offline.
