Using HyperDeck

Disk Check

When you ﬁrst switch on HyperDeck, or any time you insert an SSD, the SSD indicator will light up 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. Refer to the previous section "Preparing SSDs for

HyperDeck" to check if the SSD is formatted correctly and also check that it works with a computer.

Recording

Recording Clips with HyperDeck Shuttle

Before recording, format a recommended SSD in the HFS+ or ExFAT format and use HyperDeck Utility to

choose your recording format.

Step 1. Insert the formatted SSD into HyperDeck Shuttle. As it reads the disk, the SSD light on the unit will

illuminate. When the light goes off, HyperDeck Shuttle is ready to record.

Step 2. Connect your video source to the HyperDeck Shuttle’s input. It doesn’t matter if you use the

HDMI or SDI input, as HyperDeck Shuttle will automatically detect which one is connected. You

can also connect the video output of the HyperDeck Shuttle to your HDMI or SDI monitor. All

outputs are active so you can use either one connection or both SDI and HDMI outputs together.

Step 3. If you see the Video status LED light up, it means that HyperDeck Shuttle has detected a valid

video input.

Step 4. If you don’t see your source video on the output, press the Stop button to switch HyperDeck

Shuttle between video input loop through and playback.

Step 5. Press the Record button and HyperDeck Shuttle will start recording instantly. The SSD light will

also ﬂash to indicate the SSD activity. Once you’ve ﬁnished recording, press the Stop button.

If the Stop button starts ﬂashing while recording, there are only 3 minutes of recording time left

on the SSD. Make sure you have another empty SSD ready so you don’t miss the next take.
