Hyperdeck Countdown (Time Remaining) for clips

[jakekenner]

Hey there! Just wondering if there is any way to get the time remaining out of a hyperdeck clip rather than just the timecode value (atem/hyperdeck/$i/clip-time). That way you can have really useful displays for talent or crew that count you down to the end of a video.

ATEM Software Control and any hardware panels have access to that information from the deck so I don't know if it would be possible to pull that information from the switcher somehow??

Yes, this would be very powerful. Using software such as Max MSP, you could use the countdown to 0 as a trigger without even having to know the actual duration of the clip. The end of the clip in my setup could auto-transition from a Hyperdeck to Camera without having to worry about the timing. Like having an automated engineer!

Unfortunately, I have no way via the SDK to get either the time remaining, or the length of the current clip to calculate the time remaining. I'll reach out to the ATEM developers to see if they can add that in a future version of the SDK.

thanks Peter for going to bat for us.

I missed something in the SDK, it looks like this is possible after all!

Any update on this? Time remaining would be a great feature!

Unfortunately not, it's a busy season of life now so I haven't had time to work on this for a bit

I've released a new major version which includes much more HyperDeck feedback, so give that a try and see if it helps. I don't have it sending out the new time remaining every second, however, so please open a support ticket at www.atemosc.com/support if you still want that and I could probably and that as an opt-in feature.
