Frequently Asked Questions - HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro Blackmagic Design
Which video codecs can I use with the HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro?
The HyperDeck supports H.264, H.265 (for 4K), Apple ProRes, DNxHD, and DNxHR codecs. Selection is made via the LCD menu or Blackmagic HyperDeck Setup software.
What types of storage media are compatible?
The device accepts SD UHS-II cards, 9.5 mm SSDs (2.5-inch format), USB-C flash drives, and Blackmagic MultiDock 10G for external hard drives. For Ultra HD, use fast media (e.g., Samsung 870 EVO, Angelbird AV Pro).
Can I control the HyperDeck remotely?
Yes, via RS-422 (DE-9 port) or via Ethernet using the Blackmagic HyperDeck protocol. It can also be controlled by an ATEM switcher on the same network. Enable remote control in the menu or with the Rem button on the front panel.
How do I synchronize the HyperDeck with other equipment?
Use the Genlock input (ref in) to lock the video to an external reference signal (black burst or tri-sync). The Settings menu allows you to choose the source (auto, input, external) and adjust timing (lines/pixels).
Does the HyperDeck support HDR?
Yes, the HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro automatically detects HDR metadata and displays it via HDMI output. You can override the HDR format in the Settings menu by choosing Rec.709, Rec.2020 SDR, HLG, or ST2084 (with luminance from 300 to 4000 cd/m²).
How do I use the HyperDeck as a webcam?
Connect the HyperDeck to a computer via the USB-C port (ext disk). It will then be recognized as a webcam. In your streaming software (OBS, Skype), select 'HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro' as the video and audio source. Detailed setup is in the manual.
How do I update the firmware?
Download the latest Blackmagic HyperDeck Setup from www.blackmagicdesign.com/support. Connect the HyperDeck to the computer via USB or Ethernet, launch the utility, and follow the instructions to install the update.
Can I transfer files over the network?
Yes, the HyperDeck supports FTP. From an FTP client (Cyberduck, FileZilla), connect to the HyperDeck's IP address (no password required, check 'Anonymous'). You can copy files to connected disks, even during recording.
What do the slot LEDs mean?
The LEDs indicate media status: green = verification in progress (then off when ready), red = recording, orange = error (unformatted or incompatible media). During playback, the active slot LED blinks green.
How do I record simultaneously from multiple cameras with sync?
Connect each HyperDeck to a video source and a common reference (genlock). Enable input sync in the Recording menu so that all recorders have the same timecode. Once clips are imported into DaVinci Resolve, the Sync Bin feature will automatically align them.
