All models record to H.264, ProRes and DNx files, so are perfect for recording broadcast masters.

Bright Color LCD Status Display

HyperDeck Studio features traditional deck style transport controls, including a search dial for jog, shuttle and scroll. The compact LCD shows timecode and transport information, plus a full color thumbnail preview of the current clip in record or playback.
It also displays information about each card’s recording status, along with video format, frame rate information and audio levels.

Traditional Broadcast Deck Controls

HyperDeck Studio includes a traditional broadcast style control panel that's very fast to use. Simply press the record button and you instantly start recording the video input to a file. There are transport control buttons for playback, rewind, fast forward, previous clip, next clip and more. Any button pressed on the front panel is sent to the rear RS-422 remote output for looping control to multiple HyperDecks. It also include a front panel speaker and headphone socket for live audio monitoring.

Supports SD Cards, UHS‑II Cards or SSDs

All HyperDeck Studio models support recording to common SD cards and UHS-II cards so you don't need expensive custom media.
When using H.264, the files are so incredibly small you get very long recordings even on smaller low cost cards. Plus, you can even record to external USB disks. With H.265, you can record up to 58 hours in 2160p60 Ultra HD or up to 157 hours of H.264 recording in 1080p59.94 on a 1 TB card. 

Record to External USB-C Media Disks

If recording to other types of media is required, the USB-C expansion port lets you plug in an external flash disk for recording. USB-C flash disks have unlimited capacity because they can be physically larger than an SD card or SSD.

Popular ProRes, DNx, H.264 and H.265 Files

Hyperdeck include DNx and ProRes file formats. However all models also include H.264 in quality levels up to full 10 bit 4:2:2 when recording in NTSC, PAL, 720p, 1080p and true 1080i interlaced formats. That means you get tight 60:1 to 285:1 compression ratios for very small files at full broadcast quality. Plus you can choose uncompressed PCM audio, or even AAC audio when uploading files to YouTube. All models support both ExFAT and HFS+ disk formats and long duration single file recordings.

The internal timecode and reference generator connections can be looped to sync multiple units for ISO recording.

Fill and Key Outputs for Broadcast Animations

The HyperDeck Studio Plus can play ProRes 4444 HD files to the 2 separate SDI fill and key outputs. That means you can use HyperDeck Studio as a graphics clip player for broadcast animation because the ProRes 4444 file’s alpha channel will be automatically converted to the key SDI output for realtime keying in a live production switcher.

Advanced HDR Support and Monitoring 3D LUTs

When recording, the SDI and HDMI inputs will also automatically detect HDR video standards and then tag the files with the correct HDR information. Static metadata PQ and HLG formats are handled according to the ST2084 standard. Plus the front panel LCD has a wider color gamut for both Rec. 2020 and Rec. 709 colorspaces. It even allow you to load a 3D LUT into the monitoring output to add looks or to convert film to video gamma.
