Using HyperDeck as a Disk Recorder

Recording Clips with HyperDeck Studio Models
Before recording, format a recommended SSD in the HFS+ or exFAT format and use HyperDeck Utility to
choose your recording format.
Step 1. Insert a recommended and correctly formatted SSD into either SSD slot.
Step 2. Connect your video source to an input on your HyperDeck Studio. Press the INPUT button once,
while the stop button is illuminated, to preview the video source on the LCD before recording. If
you don't see the video you want, press the button again to switch between the HDMI and SDI
inputs. You can also connect the video outputs of your HyperDeck Studio to your HDMI and SDI
monitors. All outputs are active so you can use one or more outputs together.
Step 3. Press the record button to start recording to the SSD instantly. The SSD slot light will illuminate
with a looping red light to indicate it is being used for recording.
Step 4. Press the Stop button when you've finished recording.
Start/Stop Recording
HyperDeck Shuttle and HyperDeck Studio models support start/stop recording which means that, when
you press the record button on an HD-SDI camera, HyperDeck will start recording without also having to
press the record button on your HyperDeck disk recorder.
To set up start/stop recording for supported cameras:
Step 1. You will need a camera which can trigger the "record" function of HyperDeck via HD-SDI.
Cameras which support trigger recording via HD-SDI may include menu options such as "Trigger
REC", "HD-SDI Remote I/F" or "SDI Remote Start/Stop Trigger".
Step 2. In HyperDeck Utility, set Trigger recording to "When SDI start/stop is detected". The REM button
must also be pressed and illuminated on HyperDeck Studio to allow trigger recording.
