Capturing Video and Audio files
Selecting HyperDeck Studio Pro
If you have more than one Blackmagic Design capture product installed or connected to your computer,
go to the Device menu in Media Express and select HyperDeck Studio Pro. In the example pictured on
this page, an Intensity Extreme and a HyperDeck Studio Pro are both connected to the same computer.
Selecting your HyperDeck Studio Pro will allow you to choose suitable video settings for your project.
Select your HyperDeck Studio Pro from the Device menu.
Setting up a Project
Before capturing any clips in Media Express, you will need to select the settings for your project. Go to
Media Express>Preferences on Mac OS X. Any settings which are grayed out are only used with other
Blackmagic Design capture products and are not required by HyperDeck Studio Pro.
Set the project video format to HD1080p and also set the frame rate. Select from a range of professional
compressed and uncompressed capture file formats or even a DPX image sequence. Video will be captured
in the chosen format and saved to a QuickTime movie on Mac.
Set the storage location for your captured video and audio and choose whether to stop capture or playback
if dropped frames are detected.
Usually video applications stop playing video if you send them to the background. If you want Media Express
to keep playing video, even if you open another application in the foreground, enable the checkbox to
"Continue playback when in the background."
The final options for pre-roll and frame timecode offset are not used by HyperDeck Studio Pro when
capturing video via a Thunderbolt connection. They relate to tape decks with RS-422 deck control.
