RTR Control: Route the show. Roll the decks.

RTR Control routes video matrices from a crosspoint grid or an X-Y view, runs a rack of Blackmagic HyperDecks as one group, and copies their clips to a server, checksummed before any card is erased.

RTR Control window in dark mode showing the Dropdown X-Y routing view on the built-in 16×16 demo device: sources such as CAM 1 and VTR 1 with their resolutions on the left, destinations such as MON 1 and PGM 1 with their current feeds on the right, toolbar controls for Crosspoint or Dropdown, Direct or Take, X-Y or 1 → Many, and Labels, and a Video, Audio 1 and Audio 2 level switch at the bottom.

Why it exists

In live production, you need to know which source feeds which output, which decks are recording and which clips are safely on the server. RTR Control shows what each device actually answered.

What it does

Crosspoint or X-Y

Route matrices from 12×12 to 512×512 on a crosspoint grid or X-Y Dropdown view, with a virtual panel for each operator.

Take, presets, locks

Stage changes and cut them together with Take, use presets that show when they are active, and lock critical outputs.

HyperDeck groups

Record All and Stop All report back deck by deck, and a deck that did not respond is never shown as recording.

Verified offload

Transport copies clips off up to ten decks at once to any share Finder can mount, then reads every clip back and checksums it.

Routers, decks, cameras

Talks directly to Blackmagic Videohub, HyperDeck, ATEM and Teranex AV2, Lightware MX2, Ross Ultrix, Evertz Quartz, AJA KUMO, and VISCA and Panasonic PTZ cameras.

Rehearse without gear

Every device class has a simulator, and a whole rig exports as one .rtrconfig file that is previewed before import.

In practice

Route on air

Stage a set of changes with Take and cut them together. Presets show when the router matches them, and locks keep critical outputs where they are.

Roll every deck

Record All starts the whole HyperDeck group from one button. Each deck answers for itself, and one that did not respond is never shown as recording.

Offload, then erase

When the show is over, Transport copies the clips to a server share, reads each one back and checksums it. A deck can only be erased once every clip on it is verified.

HyperDeck Group panel with Record All, Stop All and Play All buttons, Connect All and Disconnect All, three demo recorders named Deck A, Deck B and Deck C, all stopped at 00:00:00:00, and an empty Last Command card where each device’s answer is listed after a group command. — Drive the decks as a group and see each deck’s own answer.

Transport panel with demo data: 111 clips ready to move, 66.97 GB on 10 decks, a Transfer All button, Verify and a greyed-out Erase All, an SMB server share at 70% of 8 TB, and per-deck transfer progress for HYPERDECK 1 and HYPERDECK 2. — Clips are copied to the server and checksummed before any erase.
