Blackmagic HyperDeck Ethernet Protocol
The Blackmagic HyperDeck Ethernet Protocol is a text based protocol that was originally
written for controlling Blackmagic HyperDeck disk recorders via the Ethernet port, but you can
also use the same protocol to control your Blackmagic Duplicator 4K.
Because the duplicator only records, it does not have the full command set of the HyperDeck
protocol, however this section shows the commands available that are relevant when using the
HyperDeck Ethernet protocol on the duplicator.
