Plugging in SSDs and SD Cards
All HyperDeck models ship ready to record immediately without having to configure any
settings. All you need is a formatted SSD or SD card.
You can easily format media via the front LCD based menu settings. You can also format using
a computer.
Refer to the 'About SSDs and SD Cards' section in this manual for more information on how to
format, the types of media that are best for recording video and a list of recommended drives
and cards.
To plug in an SSD:
1 Hold a 9.5mm SSD with the connection pins facing the bottom and aligned with your
HyperDeck's drive bay. Gently push the SSD into the drive bay until you feel it slot
into place.
2 Your HyperDeck will verify the SSD. This is shown by an illuminated green light
surrounding the drive bay. When the light or indicator turns off and the 'stop' button on
the control panel is illuminated, your HyperDeck is ready to record.

with the media slot. Now gently push the card into the slot until you feel it lock firmly
into place.

above the SD card slot. When the indicator turns off and the stop button on the control
panel is illuminated, your HyperDeck is ready to record.

distance, allowing you to hold the edge of the card and remove it from the slot.
