HyperDeck Status Indicators

Status Indicators
When recording or playing video with HyperDeck, any information you need to know is
displayed on the unit itself via LED indicators for each media slot and the built in LCD.
Media Slot Indicators
When you first power on HyperDeck, or any time you insert an SSD or SD card, the slot
indicator will illuminate green while checking the media and then switch off. If the disk has not
been formatted correctly, or fails to work, the slot will illuminate solid red until the disk is
removed. In this case, check if the disk is formatted correctly and also check that it works with
a computer.
HyperDeck's media slot indicators illuminate to let you know the status of
the disk, for example red when recording, and green during playback
Control Panel LCD
HyperDeck Disk Recorders feature an LCD that not only shows your video but also displays
status information such as video format and frame rate, record, playback and jog modes, the
active media slot as well as timecode and audio levels.

About SSDs and SD Cards

Choosing a Fast SSD
When working with high data rate video it's important to carefully check the SSD you would like
to use. This is because some SSDs can have up to 50% lower write speed than the
manufacturer's claimed speed, so even though the disk specifications claim an SSD is fast
enough to handle video, in reality the disk is not fast enough for real time video recording.
Hidden data compression mostly affects recording and often these disks can still be used for
real time playback.
