1 Power
All HyperDecks feature an IEC power input for AC mains power. HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro features two for redundancy. The DC input allows for external 12V battery power, which can also be used for redundancy. Ensure any DC power source is compatible with the input voltage and current rating marked below the DC in connector.
2 Ethernet
The Ethernet port lets you connect to your network for fast ftp transfers or to remotely control the unit using the HyperDeck Ethernet Protocol. File transfers speeds are supported via 1GbE on HD models and 10GbE on HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro. For more details on transferring files via an FTP client, see the ‘transferring files over a network’ section later in this manual.
When connected to the same network shared with an ATEM switcher, you can also control your HyperDeck using the ATEM switcher or an ATEM hardware panel.
3 Remote
Some HyperDeck Studio models feature two RS-422 DE-9 connectors for remote in and out. HyperDeck Studio HD Mini supports remote in only.
4 Ext Disk
Connect a flash disk to the USB-C connector so you can record to external disks at up to 5Gb/s on HyperDeck Studio HD models. HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro models feature a USB 3.1 gen 2 connection for transfer speeds up to 10Gb/s. You can also connect to multi port USB-C hubs or Blackmagic MultiDock 10G to connect one or multiple SSDs.
When your HyperDeck is connected to your computer via USB, you can use the HyperDeck as your webcam source in software including Open Broadcaster and Skype. For more information, see ‘Setting up Open Broadcaster’ later in this manual.
5 Monitor Out
The 3G-SDI monitor out connection provides a downscaled output with overlays so that you can monitor on an external display. The overlays include drive icons, audio meters and a time counter display as well as a display LUT. For more information on the Monitor SDI settings, including how to output a clean signal, see the ‘settings’ section earlier in this manual.
6 Ref
All HyperDeck models have their own built in sync generator that generates stabilized black burst and tri-sync video reference signals. This means you can connect your HyperDeck’s reference output to other video equipment’s reference input and lock them to a master reference signal generated by your HyperDeck.
You can also connect a reference signal to the reference input and sync your HyperDeck to an external master sync source.
For more information on selecting a reference source, including when looping multiple HyperDeck disk recorders together, see ‘setup’ settings earlier in this manual.
7 Timecode
All HyperDecks also have their own time of day timecode generator. In a similar fashion to reference, you can loop the timecode signal from a master HyperDeck to other HyperDecks or video equipment so that each recording shares the same timecode.
Depending on the HyperDeck model you are using, the timecode connectors will be either BNC or XLR. For more information on how to select your timecode options, see the ‘settings’ section earlier in this manual.
8 HDMI
Connect the HDMI output to HDMI televisions and monitors.
HyperDeck will auto detect SDR and HDR video standards when the signal is flagged with the correct metadata. You can also override the HDR flag using the settings menu. For more information, refer to the ‘settings’ section earlier in this manual.
9 SDI
HyperDeck Studio HD Mini models feature a single 3G SDI for signals up to 1080p60. HyperDeck Studio HD Plus and HyperDeck Studio HD Pro models features 6G-SDI allowing for signals from SD up to 2160p30. HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro features 12G-SDI inputs and outputs allowing for resolutions up to 2160p60.
HyperDecks with two SDI outputs can be used to play back ProRes 4444 files for simultaneous fill and key when connected to ATEM switchers.
