User Manual

For YouTube delivery from HyperDeck Studio Mini, you have the flexibility of three H.264
options, ‘high’, ‘medium’ and ‘low’. When recording H.264, your audio compression will default
to 2 channels of AAC audio so you can simply upload your recorded files to YouTube. If you
want the benefits of smaller file size but also the flexibility of additional audio channels, you can
also record up to 16 channels of PCM audio instead. It’s worth noting that H.264 files will default
to record 2 channels of AAC audio, so if you want record PCM audio instead, after selecting
your H.264 quality, select ‘audio channels’ in the ‘record’ menu and select how many audio
channels you want.
You may decide to experiment to see which format best suits your workflow.
