Getting Started with Blackmagic HyperDeck
Getting started with your HyperDeck disk recorder is as easy as connecting power, plugging in
your video sources and destination equipment to your HyperDeck's inputs and outputs and
inserting your SSDs or SD cards.
Plugging in Power
Simply plug a standard IEC cable to your HyperDeck's power input on the rear panel.
Plugging in Video and Audio
Plug your source video to the SDI or HDMI inputs, and your destination equipment to the SDI or
HDMI outputs.
HyperDeck Studio 12G has 12G-SDI connectors so you can input or output Ultra HD up to
2160p60 using a single BNC cable.
HyperDeck Studio Pro provides additional inputs and outputs for connecting video equipment
that supports single link, dual link or quad link Ultra HD.
Plugging in Analog Audio and Timecode on HyperDeck Studio Pro
If you want to connect analog audio sources to HyperDeck Studio Pro, plug into the XLR or RCA
connectors. To select your desired audio input, simply press the 'input' button on the front
control panel to cycle through combinations of video and audio inputs. For example, SDI + XLR,
SDI + RCA, and more. External timecode can also be connected to and from your HyperDeck
Studio Pro via the timecode XLR input and output connectors.
