Welcome
Welcome
We hope you share our dream for the television industry to become a truly
creative industry by allowing anyone to have access to the highest quality video.
Our range of HyperDeck disk recorders have made it easier and more affordable
than ever to record and play back full 10 Bit uncompressed video and now
Ultra HD 4K! HyperDeck records directly to removable 2.5” Solid State Disks
(SSDs) that are getting bigger, faster and more affordable every day. It’s incredible
that you can now record and play the most amazing quality video onto something
so small thousands of times without any degradation in quality!
SSDs can also be mounted on any computer for immediate editing and fast
transfer of your media. With no moving parts, SSDs are unbelievably robust and
can handle harsh conditions that would destroy conventional hard drives and
videotapes!
You can bypass unwanted camera compression and record directly from HDMI
or SDI cameras straight to SSD and even connect to any HDMI or SDI monitor for
instant playback! With HyperDeck Studio Pro, you can connect analog sources
and also record and play back Ultra HD 4K with 6G-SDI!
If you need longer recording times for each SSD, then HyperDeck also records
and plays back Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD files. These 10 Bit quality codecs
retain fantastic picture quality and increase the recording length of SSDs by more
than 5 times!
This instruction manual contains all the information you need to start using your
HyperDeck disk recorder. For uncompressed recording you need to use an SSD
that supports the required data speed and we are continually adding details on
our website of new SSDs that we have tested.
Please check the support page at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the latest
version of this manual and updates to the HyperDeck software. Keeping your
software up to date will always ensure you get all the latest features. When
downloading software, please register with your information so we can keep
you updated when new software is released. We are constantly working on new
features and improvements, so we would love to hear from you!
