Using your HyperDeck as a Webcam
When connected to a computer via USB, your HyperDeck disk recorder will be detected as
a webcam. This means you can broadcast the playback or recording from your HyperDeck
using streaming software such as Open Broadcaster.
Setting the Webcam Source
In most cases, your streaming software will automatically set HyperDeck as the webcam,
so when you launch your streaming software you will see the picture from your HyperDeck
Studio straight away. If your software doesn't select it automatically, simply set the software
to use HyperDeck as the webcam and microphone.
Below is an example of how to set the webcam settings on Skype.
1
In Skype's menu bar, open the 'audio and video settings'.
2
Click on the 'Camera' menu and select your HyperDeck from the list. You will see the
video from HyperDeck appear in the preview window.
3
Now go to the 'microphone' menu and select your HyperDeck as the audio source.
With your Skype settings set correctly, perhaps try out a Skype call with a friend as a quick test
to check your webcam setup is working.
That's all you need to do, your HyperDeck Studio is now ready to broadcast your video to the
world live!
