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 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. If compressed video better suits your workflow, or if you need to fit more video on a
SSD, the latest model records and plays back Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD formats.
The HyperDeck Shuttle Mounting Plate can be purchased if you want to secure your HyperDeck Shuttle to
a camera rig with your choice of rail mounts, cold shoe mounts, articulated arms and more. You can also
use the plate to power your HyperDeck Shuttle from an external battery by attaching a V-Mount or Anton
Bauer style battery plate.
HyperDeck Studio
HyperDeck Studio is a rack mount broadcast deck style recorder that features dual SSD slots so it can
automatically continue recording onto another SSD when one is full. Only 1 RU high and less than 4 inches
deep, HyperDeck Studio is perfect for when space is tight, such as in broadcast vans and fly away rack cases.
HyperDeck Studio features uncompressed quality recording and playback, RS-422 deck control, genlock,
jog and shuttle controls and an integrated LCD. It can record and play back in Apple ProRes and Avid
DNxHD formats if compressed video better suits your workflow or if you need to fit more video on a SSD.
Both the HyperDeck Studio and the HyperDeck Studio Pro support the following ProRes codecs:
Prores 422 (HQ)
ProRes 422
ProRes 422 LT
ProRes 422 (Proxy)
HyperDeck Studio Pro
HyperDeck Studio Pro does everything that HyperDeck Studio does, with the addition of analog video and
audio in and out, timecode in and out, Thunderbolt
TM
connectivity and Ultra HD 4K ProRes capture and
playback via 6G-SDI and HDMI 4K!
