Using HyperDeck

Recording Clips with HyperDeck Studio

Before recording, format a recommended SSD in the HFS+ or ExFAT format and use HyperDeck Utility to

choose your recording format.

Step 1. Insert a recommended and correctly formatted SSD into either SSD slot.

Step 2. Connect your video source to an HyperDeck Studio input. Press the INPUT button once, while the

stop button is illuminated, to preview the video source on the LCD before recording. If you don’t

see the video you want, press the button again to switch between the HDMI and SDI inputs. You

can also connect the video outputs of the HyperDeck Studio to your HDMI and SDI monitors. All

outputs are active so you can use one or more outputs together.

Step 3. Press the record button to start recording to the SSD instantly. The SSD slot light will illuminate

with a looping red light to indicate it is being used for recording.

Step 4. Press the Stop button when you've ﬁnished recording.

Start/Stop Recording

HyperDeck Shuttle and HyperDeck Studio support start/stop recording which means that, when you press

the record button on an HD-SDI camera, HyperDeck will start recording without also having to press the

record button on your HyperDeck disk recorder.

To set up start/stop recording for supported cameras:

Step 1. You will need a camera which can trigger the "record" function of HyperDeck via HD-SDI.

Cameras which support trigger recording via HD-SDI may include menu options such as "Trigger

REC", "HD-SDI Remote I/F" or "SDI Remote Start/Stop Trigger".

Step 2. In HyperDeck Utility, set Trigger recording to "When SDI start/stop is detected". The REM button

must also be pressed and illuminated on HyperDeck Studio to allow trigger recording.
