Capture
Capturing video is easy. All you need to do is connect HyperDeck Studio Pro via a Thunderbolt cable, set
the Media Express preferences and press the Capture button.
Start by connecting your video source to an input of your HyperDeck Studio Pro and check that the video
input is set to the same video input, e.g. SDI, HDMI or analog.
Open Media Express and set its preferences to the project video format and capture file format. The project
video format must be set correctly otherwise you will not see your video in the preview pane.
Click the red Log and Capture tab and enter a description for your video into the Description field of the
logging information area.
Click the "+" button next to the Description to add it to the automatic Name field. Click the "+" button next
to any of the other fields that you wish to add to the Name field.
• You can increment the value in each of these fields by clicking on the corresponding clapper
board icon. Alternatively you can type directly into any field to customize its name and number.
• The text in the automatic Name field will be applied to the clip(s) which are about to be
captured.
• Click the "star" icon next to the Name field if you want to log the clip as a favorite.
• Click the "!" icon next to the Name field if you wish a clip name confirmation prompt to appear
before every capture. This will provide you with the chance to change the clip name.
Set the desired number of audio channels to be captured and then click the "Capture" button to start
recording.
To end capture, click the "Capture" button again to automatically keep the clip. Alternatively press the
"Esc" key if you want to be prompted to delete or save the clip.
The captured clips will be added to the Media List.
