Getting Started 5 Getting Started Introducing HyperDeck There are three models of HyperDeck disk recorders, which all have internal 3 Gb/s SATA ports for use with standard 2.5" SSDs. HyperDeck Shuttle HyperDeck Studio HyperDeck Shuttle HyperDeck Shuttle is compact, affordable and battery powered, so it’s perfect as a field recorder. HyperDeck Shuttle bypasses your camera’s compression and records from SDI and HDMI directly into the highest quality uncompressed video.

DISP VIDEO Playing Video with HyperDeck Shuttle DISP Step 1. Press the Stop button once to stop recording. VIDEO Step 2. Press Stop again to switch HyperDeck Shuttle to playback mode.
Using HyperDeck 10 Using HyperDeck About SSDs Choosing a Fast SSD When working with high data rate video it's important to carefully check the SSD you would like to use. This is because some SSDs can have up to 50% lower write speed than the manufacturer’s claimed speed, so even though the disk specifications claim an SSD is fast enough to handle video, in reality the disk is not fast enough for real time video recording.
Using HyperDeck Preparing SSDs for HyperDeck SSDs used by HyperDeck must be formatted as either HFS+ or exFAT. These disk formats allow long clips to be recorded in single files. HFS+ is also known as Mac OS Extended. It is the recommended format for HyperDeck as it supports "journaling". In the event of a hardware or software malfunction, data on a journaled SSD is more quickly recovered and less likely to be corrupted in the first place. HFS+ is natively supported by Mac OS X.
Using HyperDeck HyperDeck Utility Blackmagic HyperDeck Utility is used to change settings and update the internal software in your HyperDeck. In addition to installing HyperDeck Utility, uncompressed 10 bit codecs are installed for Mac and Windows. The HyperDeck Installer software also installs Blackmagic System Preferences, which allow your favorite video editing software to perform live capture from HyperDeck Studio Pro via Thunderbolt.
OTE 13 Using HyperDeck Selecting Your Video Format in HyperDeck Utility All current HyperDeck models let you select from a choice of uncompressed and compressed video formats. The original HyperDeck Shuttle exclusively records uncompressed video. INPUT DISP SET Selecting your recording and playback format. HyperDeck Studio Pro includes additional ProRes codecs.
Using HyperDeck About Ultra HD 4K With four times as many pixels as full HD 1080p, Ultra HD 4K is the new standard for high resolution video. This means you get 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution, allowing you the greatest creative control for pixel perfect compositing, VFX work, color grading as well as the ability to project onto large displays for digital signage and cinema projections. SD (720x480) HD (1920x1080) Ultra HD 4K (3840x2160) Ultra HD 4K is 4 times the resolution of HD.
Using HyperDeck Accessing Your Clips To access your clips, simply connect the SSD to your computer using an SSD dock. You can either drag the files from the SSD directly to a local hard drive, or you can work directly from the SSD. You can also connect the SSD to your computer with a 2.5" eSATA to USB cable adapter, however this won't be fast enough to handle working directly from the SSD and is really only recommended as a portable solution for getting your video files off the SSD and onto a laptop.
Using HyperDeck Status Indicators When recording or playing video with HyperDeck, any information you need to know is displayed on the unit itself. HyperDeck Shuttle's backlit buttons and LEDs provide vital information such as when your disk is nearly full and the remaining battery life, whereas HyperDeck Studio models display information on a LCD.
