Instruction manual

Welcome

Welcome to HyperDeck!

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. 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 the most amazing quality SD and HD video onto something so small, and record and play an SSD

thousands of times without any degradation in quality!

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 play back 4K through HDMI or SDI in real time! 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!

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 on our web site 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
