Getting Started Blackmagic HyperDeck Utility Blackmagic HyperDeck Utility is used to change settings and update the internal software in your HyperDeck. In addition to installing HyperDeck Utility, uncompressed 10 bit codecs are installed for Mac and Windows. If you use Avid Media Composer 6, you'll also find a HyperDeck Studio deck preset is installed to help with RS-422 deck control.
To choose a recording format: Step 1. Connect HyperDeck to your computer via USB and launch HyperDeck Utility. Step 2. Launch HyperDeck Utility. The title bar of the utility will show you if you have an HyperDeck Shuttle, HyperDeck Shuttle 2 or HyperDeck Studio.
Studio also displays the RP 188 timecode during playback. Trigger Recording HyperDeck Shuttle and HyperDeck Studio support trigger recording so 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.
How HyperDeck Shuttle Checks Your SSD When you first switch on HyperDeck Shuttle, or any time you insert an SSD in to the SSD slot, the SSD indicator will light in green while checking the SSD and then switch off. If the SSD has not been formatted correctly, or fails to work, the SSD indicator will illuminate solid red until the SSD is removed.
Press it again to switch to playback. Then simply press Play. The controls of HyperDeck Shuttle work just like a CD player so pressing next clip will skip to the start of the next clip and continue playing. Press previous clip once to go to the start of the current clip or press twice to skip back to the start of the previous clip.
