Using HyperDeck as a Disk Recorder
16
The LCD on HyperDeck Studio models displays embedded
SDI timecode when the option to "Use SDI video input timecode
when recording" is switched on.
Timecode Run Recording
HyperDeck Shuttle and HyperDeck Studio models also support timecode run recording, which is similar to
start/stop recording, but is only used if your HD-SDI camera does not support trigger recording via HD-SDI.
To set up timecode run recording:
Step 1. Go into your camera's timecode settings and change them from "free run timecode" to "record
run timecode".
Step 2. In HyperDeck Utility, set Trigger recording to "When SDI timecode runs". The REM button must
also be pressed and illuminated on your HyperDeck Studio to allow trigger recording.
Now whenever your HyperDeck detects the timecode running via HD-SDI, it will start recording. It will stop
recording whenever the timecode stops.
If your HyperDeck is connected to the SDI output of a video router, any change to the video source might
cause HyperDeck to start recording unexpectedly due to a change in timecode being detected via HD-SDI.
Recording RP 188 Embedded Timecode
When recording from HD-SDI video sources which provide embedded SMPTE RP 188 metadata, switching
on the option to "Use SDI video input timecode when recording" will record the embedded timecode from
the video source instead of using timecode generated by your HyperDeck. It might be necessary to turn on
the RP 188 setting in your camera before HyperDeck will be able to record the timecode.
