Welcome
We hope you share our dream for the television industry to become a truly creative
industry by allowing anyone to have access to the highest quality video.
Our range of HyperDeck disk recorders have made it easier and more affordable than
ever to record and play back full 10 Bit uncompressed video and now Ultra HD 4K!
HyperDeck records directly to removable 2.5” Solid State Disks (SSDs) that are getting
bigger, faster and more affordable every day. It’s incredible that you can now record
and play the most amazing quality video onto something so small thousands of times
without any degradation in quality!
SSDs can also be mounted on any computer for immediate editing and fast transfer
of your media. With no moving parts, SSDs are unbelievably robust and can handle
harsh conditions that would destroy conventional hard drives and videotapes!
You can bypass unwanted camera compression and record directly from HDMI or
SDI cameras straight to SSD and even connect to any HDMI or SDI monitor for instant
playback! With HyperDeck Studio Pro, you can connect analog sources and also
record and play back Ultra HD 4K with 6G-SDI!
If you need longer recording times for each SSD, then HyperDeck also records and plays
back Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD files. These 10 Bit quality codecs retain fantastic
picture quality and increase the recording length of SSDs by more than 5 times!
This instruction manual contains all the information you need to start using your
HyperDeck disk recorder. For uncompressed recording you need to use an SSD
that supports the required data speed and we are continually adding details on
our website of new SSDs that we have tested.
Please check the support page at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the latest version of this
manual and updates to the HyperDeck software. Keeping your software up to date will
always ensure you get all the latest features. When downloading software, please register
with your information so we can keep you updated when new software is released. We are
constantly working on new features and improvements, so we would love to hear from you!
