Riedel hiPush Series

Driver Maturity

Production

Recommended for normal production use.

Caution

Compatibility Note: This information is a general guide and may be incomplete, may not match a specific project implementation, and is subject to change as supported products and versions evolve. Confirm the exact implementation and requirements for each project with Riedel and the relevant equipment vendor, then validate the required functions end to end in the target environment before deployment.

Available controls vary by product and hardware generation.

Minimum hi Version: v1.1.0

Overview

The Riedel hiPush^™ family uses the proprietary hi Hardware Panel protocol. The panel initiates a persistent connection to the hi system, and control data then flows in both directions.

Supported products are hiPush18, hiPush20, hiPush32-D, hiPush32-S, hiPush36, and hiPush54.

The Hardware User Manual summarizes the product range. Use the current Riedel product datasheet as the authoritative source for hardware specifications.

Network Requirements

Connection Model: Inbound to hi from the panel; bidirectional after connection.
Multicast / Unicast: Unicast only.
Bandwidth: Control data only.
IP Version: IPv4.
Firewall: Allow the panel to reach the configured hi Hardware Panel service.

Operator Workflow

hiPush panels use the Hardware Panel editor, Router Panel Preset delegation, Static Preset layouts, and the Hardware Panel simulator where supported by the selected product. Operators can assign buttons and rotaries to routing, disconnect, Parameters, Triggers, Presets, and Destination locks.

Connection Details

Property	Value
Protocol	hi Hardware Panel protocol (proprietary)
Transport	TCP / WebSocket
Default Port	Not specified (device-dependent)
Authentication	Not specified (device-dependent)
Encryption in Transit	Not specified (device-dependent)
Connection Model	Persistent connection initiated by the panel
Required License	hiGlue
Traffic Flow	Bidirectional

Required Configuration

The integration requires hiGlue. Each connected panel also consumes one hiUser session. Confirm available capacity using hiUser before connecting panels.

The panel must be configured to reach the assigned hi Hardware Panel service. On connection, the panel registers its identity and hardware description with hi.

Device-Side Setup

Follow Riedel hiPush Series Integration Configuration for the device-side and hi-side configuration steps.

Supported Features

Feature	Access	Exposed Operation and Scope

Presets and Layouts	hi-side configuration and write actions	Delegate Presets and configure supported panel layouts.
Routing	Read/write actions	Route, take, disconnect, and select entries from Port Containers.
Parameters	Per-parameter access	Read and write only Parameters whose hi access mode permits the requested operation.
Triggers	Write-only actions	Execute configured triggers.
Destination Locking	Read/write	Apply and display Destination lock state.
Displays and Indicators	Write-only panel output	Update button/display content, LEDs, and meters where provided by the selected product.
Panel Operation	Read/write and read-only status	Register the panel, synchronize initial data, and control standby state.

Supported Product Range

Product	Implemented Controls
hiPush18	18 buttons and 2 rotaries Mark 1 has 0 meters, while Mark 2 and supported Mark 3 have 2 meters
hiPush20	20 buttons
hiPush32-D	32 buttons 2 rotaries and 2 meters
hiPush32-S	32 buttons 2 rotaries and 2 meters
hiPush36	36 buttons 2 rotaries and 2 meters
hiPush54	54 buttons and 2 rotaries Mark 1 has 0 meters, while Mark 2 and supported Mark 3 have 2 meters

Known Limitations

Available indicators and meters depend on the selected hiPush product.
Static Presets are not available on hiPush32-D or hiPush32-S.
hi identifies a connecting panel by its source IP address. The address entered on the Node must match the panel's own IP address. hi does not register a panel whose address matches no enabled Node.
When two enabled Nodes use the same panel IP address, hi uses only the first match.
After registration, hi records the MAC address and firmware version that the panel reports.

What's Not Supported

Firmware updates, physical commissioning, and hardware diagnostics are outside this integration.
Standalone offline operation is outside the hi Hardware Panel workflow.
