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.
HyperDeck Shuttle
SSD Indicator
When you first switch on HyperDeck Shuttle, or any time you insert an SSD, the SSD indicator will light up
while checking the SSD and then switch off. If the SSD has not been formatted correctly, or fails to work, the
SSD indicator will illuminate solid red until the SSD is removed. Check if the SSD is formatted correctly and
also check that it works with a computer.
Video Indicator
The VIDEO indicator lights up when a video signal is detected by HyperDeck Shuttle.
Battery Indicator
The four green battery indicators display the internal battery charge level. When all the LEDs go off, there’s
approximately 4 minutes of battery power left. So you should plug in your external power source or switch
to another charged HyperDeck Shuttle.
HyperDeck Studio Models
SSD Slot
When you first power on HyperDeck, or any time you insert an SSD, the SSD slot will light up while checking
the SSD and then switch off. If the SSD has not been formatted correctly, or fails to work, the SSD slot will
illuminate solid red until the SSD is removed. Check if the SSD is formatted correctly and also check that it
works with a computer.
LCD
HyperDeck Studio models feature an LCD that not only shows your video but also displays status information
such as video format and frame rate, record, playback and jog modes, the active SSD slot as well as timecode
and audio levels.
