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! HyperDeck records
directly to removable 2.5" Solid State Disks (SSDs) and SD cards 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 and SD cards can also be connected to any computer for immediate editing and fast
transfer of your media. With no moving parts, they 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
and even connect to any HDMI or SDI monitor for instant playback. The HyperDeck Studio Mini
model is a small and portable, modular Ultra HD disk recorder that records on tiny SD cards.
With HyperDeck Studio Pro, you can connect analog sources and also record and play back
Ultra HD with 6G-SDI. The HyperDeck Studio 12G model can record even higher frame rates
in Ultra HD up to 60 fps!
If you need longer recording times, then HyperDeck also records and plays back AppleProRes
and Avid DNx files. These 10 Bit quality codecs retain fantastic picture quality and increase the
recording length of your media 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!

Recording
Recording Ultra HD and HD video with HyperDeck
HyperDeck models that support Ultra HD video record compressed Ultra HD using Apple
ProRes, plus Avid DNxHR on HyperDeck Studio 12G and HyperDeck Studio Mini. All HyperDeck
models can record HD video using ProRes and DNxHD 220x codecs. HyperDeck Studio
models that record on SSDs can also record uncompressed HD.
Recording Video with HyperDeck Studio Mini
HyperDeck Studio Mini can record compressed HD and Ultra HD video up to 2160p30
via 6G-SDI.
To record video:
1 Insert your formatted SD card into either of the SD card slots. The indicator above the
slot will illuminate green as your HyperDeck reads the card. When the indicator turns
off, HyperDeck Studio Mini is ready to record.
2 HyperDeck Studio Mini automatically detects when SDI video is connected and
displays the image on the control panel LCD.
If you want to change the codec, you can choose from a variety of codecs using the
control panel LCD menu or the Blackmagic HyperDeck Setup utility software. For more
information, refer to the ‘control panel display menu’ section, or ‘Blackmagic HyperDeck
Setup/selecting your video format’.
3 Press the ‘record’ button and the indicator above the slot will illuminate red.
As your HyperDeck is recording, the slot indicator on the control panel LCD will
alternate between displaying the active slot, and record time remaining on the card.
4 Press the ‘stop’ button to finish recording.
The indicator above the SD card slot
illuminates red when recording video
Recording Video with HyperDeck Studio SSD Models
1 Insert your formatted SSD into either SSD slot. The LED strip surrounding the drive
will illuminate green as HyperDeck reads the disk. When the slot light turns off,
yourHyperDeck is ready to record.
2 Press the input button on the control panel to cycle through your HyperDecks inputs.
When your connected source is selected, it will appear on the control panel LCD.
For HyperDeck Studio Pro, pressing the input button will also cycle through
combinations of video and audio connections, for example SDI + SDI, SDI + XLR,
andSDI + RCA. This lets you record SDI or HDMI video with external audio.

If you want to record using a different codec, you can choose from a variety of codecs
using the control panel LCD menu or the HyperDeck Setup utility software. See the
control panel display menu’ section, or ‘Blackmagic HyperDeck Setup/selecting your
video format’ section for more information.
3 Press the ‘record’ button to start recording instantly. A looping red light on the SSD slot
indicates the SSD is recording.
4 Press the ‘stop’ button to finish your recording.
On HyperDecks with SSD slots, the slot indicator
will illuminate red to show the unit is recording
TIP If HyperDeck records from a video source that contains closed caption data,
theQuickTime or MXF movie will be recorded as well as a separate .MCC file
containing the closed caption data.
Recording using Dual Media Slots
When there is less than 3 minutes of record time remaining on your SD card or SSD,
thetimecode counter on your HyperDeck’s LCD will turn red and the ‘stop’ button will
flash slowly.
This also means there is no second disk with space that recording can continue onto. In this
case, you simply need to insert a disk with space so recording can continue. Once you insert a
blank disk into the slot that’s not being used for recording, the slow flashing will stop and this
means HyperDeck can continue to record, because this second disk has been checked ok and
there is space to keep recording.

If you have less than three minutes
of recording time left on your
current disk and no formatted
media in yourHyperDeck’s second
slot, the timecode indicator will turn
red indicating your recording is
about to stop.
If there is space on a formatted
disk in the second slot, HyperDeck
will display an icon in the top right
corner to indicate that recording will
automatically switch over once the
current disk is full.

9Recording
If you want to change the disk you are recording to at any time, and you have a second disk that
has free space, then simply hold down the record button and the recording will move from the
current disk to the second disk. This is very useful when you want to get that disk out of the
HyperDeck without pausing recording. This can happen during live events when you need to
get an important recording out to another location, but you don’t want to miss anything and you
don’t want to stop recording.
If the ‘record’ button flashes quickly, this means the disk is not fast enough for sustained
recording. In this case, if you are recording uncompressed HD, we recommend changing to a
compressed recording format such as ProRes or DNxHD, or if you are recording compressed
video and the record button flashes quickly, try using faster recommended media.
Ref Input
If your HyperDeck has a reference input, it can accept black burst and tri-level sync signals from
a sync generator. Connect a reference source to this input if you want to synchronize
HyperDeck with other video equipment, such as a production switcher.
If your HyperDeck has a reference input, you can sync your HyperDeck with other
video equipment
Ref Output
The reference output on HyperDeck Studio Mini lets you connect an internally generated black
burst or tri-level sync signal to other video equipment if you want to synchronize other
equipment with your HyperDeck.

HDR Playback on HyperDeck Studio 12G
HyperDeck Studio 12G is capable of playing back HDR wide gamut video content. This lets you
monitor HDR video on an HDMI TV or SDI monitor. For example, you may have HDR files you
have exported from a DaVinci Resolve workstation and want to view them on a larger screen
or HDMI projector.
Your HyperDeck will automatically read the metadata in the clip file and select the
corresponding HDR output format.
While the auto setting will be successful most of the time, some files may not include the
required metadata, and this may affect how the brightest regions of your image will be
displayed. If the image does not appear as expected, you can set the correct output format
using the ‘HDR’ LCD menu.
To set the HDR output format:
1 Press the ‘menu’ button to open the LCD menu.
2 Navigate to the ‘video’ menu and select ‘HDR’.
3 Select the video clip’s corresponding HDR output format from the list. For example, if
your clip was encoded for HDR 10 using ST2084 at 2000 nits, select ST2084 (2000).
NOTE For HDR playback to work as expected, the monitor or HDMI projector connected
to your HyperDeck Studio 12G must also be capable of displaying HDR content.
The HDR output settings available are:
Auto
Auto is the default setting that will let HyperDeck automatically select the output format
that conforms to the clips HDR metadata.
Rec.709
For high definition video using standard dynamic range.
Rec.2020 SDR
This setting is used for Ultra HD video using standard dynamic range.
HLG
HLG stands for ‘hybrid log gamma’. This format allows HDR video to be played back on
HDR capable TVs and monitors, including those that support up to Rec.2020 SDR.
The following settings support the Rec.2020 color gamut, plus PQ, or perceptual quantizer
published as SMPTE ST2084. PQ is the function of wide gamut HDR that allows for the display
of brighter images. Luminance values in candelas per meter squared, for example 1000 cd/m

About SSDs and SD Cards
Choosing a Fast SSD
When working with high data rate video it’s important to carefully check the SSD you would
like to use. This is because some SSDs can have up to 50% lower write speed than the
manufacturer’s claimed speed, so even though the disk specifications claim an SSD is fast
enough to handle video, in reality the disk is not fast enough for real time video recording.
Hidden data compression mostly affects recording and often these disks can still be used for
real time playback.
In our testing, we have found larger newer models of SSD and larger capacity SSDs are
generally faster. SSDs recommended for use with HyperDeck for uncompressed 10 Bit HD and
ProRes or DNxHR Ultra HD video recording include:

Please visit the Blackmagic Design support center at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the
latestsupport notes and information. If you find an SSD that isn’t fast enough for uncompressed
HDvideo or Ultra HD, try a faster SSD or switch to a compressed recording format such as
ProRes or DNxHD. These recording formats have a much lower data rate and are easier for
theSSD to handle.
Choosing a fast SD Card
For high quality HD recording on HyperDeck Studio Mini, we recommend high speed UHS-II
SDcards. These cards need to be capable of write speeds above 110MB/s for recording up to
Ultra HD 2160p30. However, if you are recording standard definition or lower bit rate, lower
quality compression you might be able to use slower cards. Generally the faster the cards,
the better.
Its worth regularly checking the latest version of this manual for more up to date information
and can always be downloaded from the Blackmagic Design website at

Formatting SSDs and SD Cards
Media used by HyperDeck must be formatted as either HFS+ or exFAT. These disk formats
allow long clips to be recorded as single files. You can easily format a card or SSD via the
format feature in HyperDeck’s LCD menu, or via a Windows or Mac OS computer.
HFS+ is also known as Mac OS Extended and is the recommended format for HyperDeck as it
supports journaling. Data on a journaled disk is more quickly recovered in the rare event it
becomes corrupted, and less likely to be corrupted in the first place. HFS+ is natively supported
by Mac OS.
ExFAT is supported natively by Mac OS and Windows without needing to purchase any
additional software. However, exFAT does not support journaling.
While navigating through the format feature on the LCD menu, you’ll have plenty of
opportunities to cancel the format and return to the previous menu by selecting the return
arrow on the bottom right of the LCD and pressing the ‘set’ button on the control panel, or by
pressing the menu button on HyperDeck Studio Mini. Always press the ‘set’ button to confirm
