PiDeck

An off line version of this documentation can be downloaded PiDeck PDF

PiDeck is a low cost, easy to use HDMI Video playback device. You can install the software on any Raspberry Pi from the Pi-Zero and up and control from Blackmagic ATEM software, Companion by Bitfocus, or indeed anything which uses the HyperDeck protocol.

Currently we only support official Raspberry Pi hardware. There are a number of clone devices out there, however until we have managed to get our hands on them we can not guarantee they operate correctly so we’ve chosen not to support them as this time.
