Blackmagicdesign HyperDeck Installation And Operation Manual page 3

Welcome
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 and now Ultra HD! HyperDeck records directly to
removable 2.5" Solid State Disks (SSDs) and SD cards that are getting bigger, faster and more affordable
every day. It's incredible that you can now record and play the most amazing quality video onto
something so small thousands of times without any degradation in quality!
SSDs and SD cards can also be connected to any computer for immediate editing and fast transfer of
your media. With no moving parts, they are unbelievably robust and can handle harsh conditions that
would destroy conventional hard drives and videotapes!
You can bypass unwanted camera compression and record directly from HDMI or SDI cameras and
even connect to any HDMI or SDI monitor for instant playback. The HyperDeck Studio Mini model is
a small and portable, modular Ultra HD disk recorder that records on tiny SD cards. With HyperDeck
Studio Pro, you can connect analog sources and also record and play back Ultra HD with 6G-SDI. The
HyperDeck Studio 12G model can record even higher frame rates
in Ultra HD up to 60 fps!
If you need longer recording times, then HyperDeck also records and plays back Apple ProRes and
Avid DNx files. These 10 Bit quality codecs retain fantastic picture quality and increase the recording
length of your media 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 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 you get all the
latest features. When downloading software, please register with your information so we can keep you
updated when new software is released. We are constantly working on new features and improvements,
so we would love to hear from you!
