Welcome
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 4K! HyperDeck records directly to removable 2.5” Solid State Disks
(SSDs) 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 can also be mounted on any computer for immediate editing and fast transfer of your media. With no moving parts, SSDs 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 straight to SSD and even connect to any HDMI or SDI monitor for instant playback! With HyperDeck Studio Pro, you can connect analog sources and also record and play back Ultra HD 4K with 6G-SDI!
If you need longer recording times for each SSD, then HyperDeck also records and plays back Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD files. These 10 Bit quality codecs retain fantastic picture quality and increase the recording length of SSDs 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!

Getting Started
Introducing HyperDeck
There are three models of HyperDeck disk recorders, which all have internal 3 Gb/s SATA ports for use with standard 2.5" SSDs.
HyperDeck Shuttle
HyperDeck Shuttle is compact, affordable and battery powered, so it’s perfect as a field recorder. HyperDeck
Shuttle bypasses your camera’s compression and records from SDI and HDMI directly into the highest quality uncompressed video. If compressed video better suits your workflow, or if you need to fit more video on a
SSD, the latest model records and plays back Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD formats.
The HyperDeck Shuttle Mounting Plate can be purchased if you want to secure your HyperDeck Shuttle to a camera rig with your choice of rail mounts, cold shoe mounts, articulated arms and more. You can also use the plate to power your HyperDeck Shuttle from an external battery by attaching a V-Mount or Anton
Bauer style battery plate.
HyperDeck Studio
HyperDeck Studio is a rack mount broadcast deck style recorder that features dual SSD slots so it can automatically continue recording onto another SSD when one is full. Only 1 RU high and less than 4 inches deep, HyperDeck Studio is perfect for when space is tight, such as in broadcast vans and fly away rack cases.
HyperDeck Studio features uncompressed quality recording and playback, RS-422 deck control, genlock, jog and shuttle controls and an integrated LCD. It can record and play back in Apple ProRes and Avid
DNxHD formats if compressed video better suits your workflow or if you need to fit more video on a SSD.
Both the HyperDeck Studio and the HyperDeck Studio Pro support the following ProRes codecs:
Prores 422 (HQ)
ProRes 422
ProRes 422 LT
ProRes 422 (Proxy)
HyperDeck Studio Pro

About SSDs
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 Ultra HD 4K video recording include:
Crucial 512GB M4 (firmware 009 only)
Digistor – 128GB SSD Professional Video Extreme
Digistor – 240GB SSD Professional Video Series
Digistor – 480GB SSD Professional Video Series
Intel 335 Series 240GB SSD

OCZ 480GB Vertex 3
OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD
PNY 240GB Prevail SSD (firmware 5.0.2)
Sandisk Extreme 480GB
Please check the tech notes on the Blackmagic Design website for the latest information.
If you find an SSD that isn’t fast enough for uncompressed HD video or Ultra HD 4K, try a faster SSD or use
HyperDeck Utility to 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.
Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD
11 Using HyperDeck
Use Disk Utility on Mac OS X to erase your SSD in the
Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or exFAT format.
Use the Format dialog box feature in Windows to format your
SSD in the exFAT format.
Preparing SSDs for HyperDeck
SSDs used by HyperDeck must be formatted as either HFS+ or exFAT. These disk formats allow long clips to be recorded in single files.
HFS+ is also known as Mac OS Extended. It is the recommended format for HyperDeck as it supports
"journaling". In the event of a hardware or software malfunction, data on a journaled SSD is more quickly recovered and less likely to be corrupted in the first place. HFS+ is natively supported by Mac OS X.
ExFAT is supported natively by Mac OS X and Windows without needing to purchase any additional software. However exFAT does not support journaling which means data is more prone to corruption, and less likely to be recovered in the event of a hardware or software malfunction.
Preparing SSDs on a Mac OS X computer
The Disk Utility application included with Mac OS X can format a drive in the HFS+ or exFAT formats. Make sure you back up anything important from your SSD as you will lose everything on it when it is formatted.
Step 1. Connect the SSD to your computer with an external dock or cable adapter and dismiss any message offering to use your SSD for Time Machine backups.
Step 2. Go to Applications/Utilities and launch Disk Utility.
Step 3. Click on the disk icon of your SSD and then click the Erase tab.
Step 4. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or exFAT.
Step 5. Type a Name for the new volume and then click Erase. Your SSD will quickly be formatted and made ready for use with HyperDeck.
Preparing SSDs on a Windows computer
The Format dialog box can format a drive in the exFAT format on a Windows PC. Make sure you back up anything important from your SSD as you will lose everything on it when it is formatted.
Step 1. Connect the SSD to your computer.
Step 2. Open the Start Menu or Start Screen and choose Computer. Right-click on your SSD.
Step 3. From the contextual menu, choose Format.
Step 4. Set the file system to exFAT and the allocation unit size to 128 kilobytes.
Step 5. Type a volume label, select Quick Format and click Start.
Step 6. Your SSD will quickly be formatted and made ready for use with HyperDeck.
12 Using HyperDeck
HyperDeck Utility
Blackmagic HyperDeck Utility is used to change settings and update the internal software in your
HyperDeck. In addition to installing HyperDeck Utility, uncompressed 10 bit codecs are installed for Mac and Windows. The HyperDeck Installer software also installs Blackmagic System Preferences, which allow your favorite video editing software to perform live capture from HyperDeck Studio Pro via Thunderbolt.
Blackmagic system preferences provide a central location so you don't need to configure the same software settings in each video application that you use.
On Mac OS X, open the System Preferences and click the Blackmagic Design icon. When using HyperDeck
Studio Pro, settings are grayed out and the main use of the Blackmagic system preferences is to tell you which version of Desktop Video software is installed for video capture via a Thunderbolt port.
When other Blackmagic video capture hardware is connected to your computer, additional settings may be available.
How to Update Your HyperDeck Software on Mac OS X
Step 1. Download and unzip the HyperDeck Utility software.
Step 2. Open the resulting disk image and launch the HyperDeck Installer. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Step 3. After installing the latest Blackmagic HyperDeck Utility, connect a USB cable from HyperDeck to your computer.
Step 4. Launch Blackmagic HyperDeck Utility and follow any onscreen prompt to update the internal software in your HyperDeck. If no prompt appears, the internal software is up to date and there is nothing further you need to do.
How to Update Your HyperDeck Software on Windows
Step 1. Download and unzip the HyperDeck Utility software.
Step 2. You should see a HyperDeck Utility folder containing this manual and the HyperDeck Utility installer. Double-click the installer and follow the onscreen prompts to complete the installation.
Step 3. After installing the latest Blackmagic HyperDeck Utility, connect a USB cable from HyperDeck to your computer.
Step 4. Launch Blackmagic HyperDeck Utility and follow any onscreen prompt to update the internal software in your HyperDeck. If no prompt appears, the internal software is up to date and there is nothing further you need to do.

About Ultra HD 4K
With four times as many pixels as full HD 1080p, Ultra HD 4K is the new standard for high resolution video.
This means you get 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution, allowing you the greatest creative control for pixel perfect compositing, VFX work, color grading as well as the ability to project onto large displays for digital signage and cinema projections.
HyperDeck Studio Pro features 6G-SDI technology, which is easily fast enough to handle Ultra HD 4K playback to the latest 4K monitors. Previously you would have required 4 separate cables to get Ultra
HD resolution over SDI, but now with the amazing data rate 6G-SDI offers, you can get Ultra HD 4K video over a single cable!
Setting Up Ultra HD 4K Recording
HyperDeck Studio Pro records Ultra HD 4K straight to the Apple ProRes codec. ProRes is the most user friendly codec because it is QuickTime based, so your Ultra HD 4K footage can be imported to any
QuickTime compatible software. See the previous page for a description of each available ProRes codec.
Step 1. Connect your Ultra HD 4K source to SDI or HDMI inputs. The SDI inputs will automatically detect if you are connecting via single link 6G-SDI, dual link 3G-SDI or quad link HD-SDI.
Step 2. Press the DISP button on the front of HyperDeck Studio Pro. Use the jog/shuttle wheel to select
Record. Press the SET button and use the jog/shuttle wheel to select Codec. Press the SET button and use the jog/shuttle wheel to select ProRes HQ. Press the SET button.
Step 2. Press the INPUT button once while the stop button is illuminated to preview the video source on the LCD before recording.
Step 3. Press the record button to start recording your Ultra HD 4K source.

15 Using HyperDeck
Accessing Your Clips
To access your clips, simply connect the SSD to your computer using an SSD dock. You can either drag the files from the SSD directly to a local hard drive, or you can work directly from the SSD. You can also connect the SSD to your computer with a 2.5" eSATA to USB cable adapter, however this won't be fast enough to handle working directly from the SSD and is really only recommended as a portable solution for getting your video files off the SSD and onto a laptop.
Mac OS X
QuickTime is built into Mac OS X. Apple ProRes and uncompressed QuickTime movies recorded by
HyperDeck can be opened in almost any video software on Mac OS X.
DNxHD MXF files recorded by HyperDeck can be opened with Avid Media Composer and DaVinci
Resolve for Mac.
MCC closed caption data files recorded by HyperDeck can be opened with MacCaption software for
Mac OS X from http://www.cpcweb.com.
Windows
Apple ProRes and uncompressed QuickTime movies recorded by HyperDeck require QuickTime to be installed on your PC. Almost any video software on Windows that supports QuickTime can open movies recorded by HyperDeck. QuickTime for Windows can be downloaded free from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/.

Step 3. If using HyperDeck Studio models, press the REM button after setting SDI start/stop recording in
HyperDeck Utility. The REM button must be illuminated on the unit to allow trigger recording.
To set this on HyperDeck Studio models using the Display menu:
Step 1. Press the DISP button to bring up the main menu.

Timecode Run Recording
HyperDeck also supports timecode run recording, which is similar to start/stop recording, but is only used if your HD-SDI camera does not support trigger recording via HD-SDI.
To set up timecode run recording:
Step 1. Go into your camera's timecode settings and change them from "free run timecode" to "record run timecode".
Step 2. In HyperDeck Utility, set Trigger recording to "When SDI timecode runs".
Step 3. If using HyperDeck Studio, press the REM button after setting Timecode Run Recording in
HyperDeck Utility. The REM button must be illuminated on the unit to allow trigger recording.
To set this on HyperDeck Studio models using the Display menu:
Step 1. Press the DISP button to bring up the main menu.
Step 2. Scroll to the Record menu and press SET.
Step 3. Scroll to the Record Trigger menu and press SET.
Step 4. Select Timecode Run and press SET to confirm your selection. Press DISP to exit.
Step 5. Press the REM button. The REM button must be illuminated on the unit to allow trigger recording.
Now whenever your HyperDeck detects the timecode running via HD-SDI it will start recording. Recording will stop whenever the timecode stops.
Be careful if your HyperDeck is connected to the SDI output of a video router, as any change to the video source might cause HyperDeck to start recording unexpectedly due to a change in timecode being detected via HD-SDI.

Capturing video via Thunderbolt
When connected to a computer with Thunderbolt technology, HyperDeck Studio Pro can be used as a powerful capture solution for your editing workflow. Thunderbolt offers a blazingly fast 10 Gb/s connection, which is enough bandwidth to handle the highest resolution video formats easily!
Capturing from SSD
If you want to dub a video that you've already recorded to SSD, you can capture via Thunderbolt using the video software and codec of your choice.
Step 1. Connect HyperDeck Studio Pro via a Thunderbolt cable to your computer.
Step 2. Launch your video capture software, such as Media Express, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple
Final Cut Pro 7or AVID Media Composer.
Step 3. Make sure your software is configured to capture the same format as your source. e.g., 1080i/50, 720p/60.
Step 4. Press Play on HyperDeck Studio Pro. Video should appear on your computer screen within a few seconds.
Step 5. Click the capture button in your video software.
Simultaneous Capture and Recording
You can also simultaneously capture via Thunderbolt while recording to a SSD. This might be useful if you are recording a live event and are unsure if you have enough space on your SSDs to record the whole event. Alternatively, you may want to record in two different codecs, such as ProRes and
DNxHD, simultaneously.
Step 1. Connect HyperDeck Studio Pro via a Thunderbolt cable to your computer.
Step 2. Launch your video capture software, such as Media Express, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple
Final Cut Pro 7 or AVID Media Composer.
Step 3. Make sure your software is configured to capture the same format as your source. e.g., 1080i/50, 720p/60.
Step 4. Press the INPUT button on HyperDeck Studio Pro to select the input from which you want to record to SSD and capture to your computer.
Step 5. Press Record on HyperDeck Studio Pro and click the capture button in your video software.
You are now recording the same video input to both the SSD and to your computer.

Capturing Video and Audio Files
Blackmagic Media Express 3 software is included with every HyperDeck Studio Pro to perform video and audio capture to files. Blackmagic Media Express 3 is a great tool when you don’t need the complexity of
NLE software, but simply want to capture video from HyperDeck Studio Pro's Thunderbolt port.
Selecting HyperDeck Studio Pro
If you have more than one Blackmagic Design capture product installed or connected to your computer, go to the Device menu in Media Express and select HyperDeck Studio Pro. In the example pictured on this page, an Intensity Extreme and a HyperDeck Studio Pro are both connected to the same computer.
Selecting your HyperDeck Studio Pro will allow you to choose suitable video settings for your project.
Setting Up a Project
Before capturing any clips in Media Express, you will need to select the settings for your project.
Step 1. Go to Media Express>Preferences. Any settings which are grayed out are only used with other
Blackmagic Design capture products and are not required by HyperDeck Studio Pro.
Step 2. Set the project video format (i.e., HD1080p) and also set the frame rate.
Step 3. Select from a range of professional compressed and uncompressed capture file formats or even a
DPX image sequence in the Capture File Format drop down menu. Video will be captured in the chosen format and saved to a QuickTime movie.
Step 4. Set the storage location for your captured video and audio.
Step 5. Choose whether to stop capture or playback if dropped frames are detected.
Usually video applications stop playing video if you send them to the background. If you want Media Express to keep playing video, even if you open another application in the foreground, enable the checkbox to
"Continue playback when in the background".
The final options for pre-roll and frame timecode offset are not used by HyperDeck Studio Pro when capturing video via a Thunderbolt connection. They relate to tape decks with RS-422 deck control.

DPX capture preferences
DPX Capture
If you want to capture a DPX image sequence rather than a movie file, open the Media Express preferences and set the Capture File Format to DPX 10 Bit RGB. You will need a fast disk array to cope with the uncompressed, 10 Bit RGB format.
Step 1. Connect your video source to an input on HyperDeck Studio Pro.
Step 2. Check that HyperDeck Studio Pro is set to the input you have connected your source to. e.g. SDI, HDMI or analog.
Step 3. Open Media Express and create a DPX project by setting the capture file format to DPX.
Step 4. Enter your description and logging information.
Step 5. Click the “Capture” button to start recording. To end capture, click the “Capture” button again to automatically keep the clip. Alternatively, press esc if you want to be prompted to delete or save the clip. The captured clips will be added to the Media List.
When the capture has been completed, a single thumbnail will appear in the Media List representing the entire frame sequence. The sequence of DPX frames will be stored in its own folder in your disk storage.
Audio will be stored in a .wav file in the same folder.
By default, DPX captures are assumed to be from YUV sources. If you need to capture from an RGB source, disable the "Capture to DPX from a YUV source" option in the preferences menu, otherwise your DPX files will show weird pink and green colors.
If you want the DPX frame numbers to be based on the timecode of the captured video, rather than just starting from zero, enable the option to "Use absolute frame numbering when capturing DPX".
If you aren't performing long DPX captures, you may wish to reduce the number of zeroes in the frame numbers by changing the option "When capturing DPX files, use (2-8) digit numbers in the frame count".

There are three ways to import clips into Media Express
You can use the transport controls to play, stop, jump to the next or previous clip and loop playback of your clips.
Playing back Video and Audio Files
Importing clips
You can play back your video and audio files after importing media into Media Express in any of the following ways:
Double-click an empty area of the Media List.
Right-click an empty area of the Media List and select Import Clip from the contextual menu.
Go to the File menu, select Import and then Media Files.
Select the video and audio clip(s) you wish to import from the Open Video Clip dialog box. The clips will appear in the Scratch area of the Media List. If you have created your own bins in the Media List, you can drag the clips into the desired bin.
If you want to import media directly to a bin, right-click within the desired bin and select Import Clip from the contextual menu.
If the files being imported do not match the frame rate and size of existing clips in the Media List, you will be prompted to create a new project and to save the current project.
Media Express also supports the import of multichannel audio-only files recorded at 48kHz in the uncompressed WAVE (.wav) and AIFF (.aif) formats.
Another way to import media is to use an XML file which has been exported from Final Cut Pro. Go to the
File menu, select Import and then Final Cut Pro XML. Open the desired XML and all the bins and media from the Final Cut Pro project will appear in the Media List.
Playing back single and multiple clips
To play back a clip, double-click the clip in the Media List. Alternatively select the clip in the Media List and press the space bar on your keyboard or the play button in the transport controls.
To play back multiple clips, select the clips in the Media List and then press the space bar on your keyboard or the play button in the transport controls.
41 Using Blackmagic Media Express
In the Media List, choose to view your clips in Timecode List view or Thumbnail view. Click the Favorites button to only show your favorite clips. Type in the Search field to find your favorite clips.
Browsing Media
In the Media List, you can view your clips in Thumbnail view or Timecode List view by clicking on the desired view button at the top-right of the Media List.
Thumbnail view
Thumbnails are the most intuitive way to display your clips. To get information for a clip, hover your mouse over the clip's thumbnail and then click on the popup info icon which will appear at the bottom-right of the thumbnail. Click the info bubble to hide it.
List view
You can view your clips in Timecode List view by clicking on the Timecode List button at the top-right of the Media List. Use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the Media List to view all the columns of information for your clips including: in and out points, video format, audio channels, field dominance and logging information.
Creating and using bins
To create a bin for your clips, right click an empty spot in the Media List and select "Create Bin". Type in a name for the new bin.
You can move clips from the Scratch, or from one bin to another, by dragging the clip icons to the desired bin. If you want a clip to appear in more than one bin, import the same clip again by right-clicking on the bin and choosing "Import Clip".
By default, logged clips appear in the Scratch. If you want to log clips and have them appear in a new bin, right-click the new bin and choose "Select As Log Bin".
Click the popup info icon on a thumbnail to view its info bubble.
42 Using Blackmagic Media Express
Clips marked as favorites are easily identified by the yellow star in their icon.
Creating and using favorites
In the Log and Capture tab, click the "star" icon next to the Name field if you want to log a clip as a favorite.
In the Playback tab, clicking the "star" icon will make the clip a favorite if it is selected in the Media List.
Click the "star" icon again to deselect it as a favorite.
Clips marked as favorites will show a yellow star in their icon in Timecode List view and Thumbnail view.
Once you have marked clips as favorites, click on the gray Favorites star button at the top of the Media list and it will turn yellow. All clips in your Media List will be hidden except for those marked as favorites.
This is similar to creating a playlist and makes it easy to only play back your favorite clips and even master them to tape.
Deleting clips and bins
To delete clips, select the unwanted clips and press the forward delete button on your keyboard. This will only delete the clips from the Media List and they will safely remain stored on your disk.
To delete bins, right-click within a bin and choose "Delete Bin". This action will delete the bin and any clips it contains. This will only delete the clips from the Media List and they will safely remain stored on your disk.
Searching the Media List
Clips can easily be found in a project by typing the name of your clips in the Search field at the top of the
Media List. When used in conjunction with the favorites feature, the search will be confined to your favorite clips so you will see a shorter list of found clips.
In the Log and Capture tab, click the "star" icon next to the
Name field if you want to log the clip as a favorite.
Click the Favorites button at the top of the Media List to only show your favorite clips. Type in the Search field to find clips.

Blackmagic UltraScope
What is Blackmagic UltraScope?
With HyperDeck Studio Pro you get the incredible features of Blackmagic UltraScope, which you can even use with compatible Mac OS X and Windows notebook computers with Thunderbolt technology!
Blackmagic UltraScope software is installed by the HyperDeck Studio Pro Installer.
Previously broadcast quality television and post production scopes were incredibly expensive custom solutions that only let you see one scope at a time on a tiny screen! Some scopes look ugly and don’t really look good in front of your client. With Blackmagic UltraScope, you get 6 wonderful scopes that let you see all aspects of your video signals!
Blackmagic UltraScope is perfect for quality control checks of the output of your HyperDeck Studio Pro, no matter which video input you use. Simply connect a Thunderbolt cable from your HyperDeck Studio Pro to a Thunderbolt enabled computer and away you go!
Installation Requirements
HyperDeck Studio Pro connects to both Mac OS X and Windows computers with Thunderbolt technology.
The Blackmagic UltraScope software interface requires a computer display with a minimum resolution of
1280 x 800 pixels to view two scopes simultaneously. Blackmagic Design recommends viewing all 6 scopes simultaneously by using a computer display resolution of 1920 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Please see the support pages at www.blackmagicdesign.com for a comprehensive list of the latest minimum system requirements for Blackmagic UltraScope for Mac OS X and Windows.

Understanding Blackmagic UltraScope Views
Blackmagic UltraScope has two different views available depending on your workflow needs and screen resolution. You have the choice of viewing six displays in “Full Screen” view, or for more compact viewing, choose any 2 displays in “2-up” view.
The display view can be selected from the View menu.
Choose Full Screen to enter “Full Screen” view. If this option is unchecked, “2-up” view will be displayed.
You can quickly switch between Full Screen view and 2-up view by using the hot key CMD-F on Mac OS X.
In “2-up” view, select the desired left and right scopes by opening the View menu or by right-clicking anywhere in the UltraScope window. Make your selections from the Left View and Right View menu options. If you attempt to choose the same scopes for both the Left View and Right View , the existing scopes will swap sides.
Screen Resolution Requirements for Display Views
Full Screen view: 1920 x 1200 pixels or 1920 x 1080 pixels. If your monitor doesn’t support these resolutions, then Full Screen view will not be available.
2-up view: minimum resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.

Zoom Function
Parade Display
Zoom Function
Blackmagic UltraScope allows you to zoom in on various displays for a more detailed analysis.
This helpful function will also pan and zoom the graticules for each display in high resolution.
The zoom function is available in the Parade, Waveform, Vectorscope and Picture displays.
To zoom in, simply click on the bottom right of each respective display. Now you will be able to view the display in finer detail. Drag the mouse within the display area to pan around the zoomed display.
Clicking again, will return the display back to its normal view.
Parade Display
Parade Display is perfect for checking for illegal colors and checking levels.
Press the RGB button to display the full height of each color channel as red, green and blue. Monitoring the levels of each red, green and blue color channel makes it is easy to view color balance in the blacks, mids and whites of the video signal. Parade Display enables you to identify details common to the red, green and blue channels.
It’s often important to make sure you’re not clipping the video levels. Make sure the video is full level but not clipped. You can turn on the GAMUT function, and any illegal levels will be highlighted in bright red, so they are easy to see. Instructions for setting gamut limits can be found in the Error Logging Display section of this manual. If you want to increase the video level, then make sure it doesn’t go above upper
RGB limit or you will encounter illegal levels. Some equipment won’t let you generate illegal 100% RGB levels, however other equipment will. Blackmagic UltraScope lets you see illegal levels whenever they occur.
Illegal video can also happen in blacks as well as whites. Some equipment produces black levels which can be lowered below the black point of 0%. The levels will be shown as bright red if this falls below the lower gamut limit and the GAMUT warning mode is enabled. If you observe illegal black levels, just add some “lift” or gain to eliminate them but check the 100% graticule level to make sure the whole video signal has not lifted and generated illegal colors in the whites.
To check levels, simply press the YUV or YUV+ button.
The COLOR setting switches the RGB display to color rather than traditional black and white. When the
COLOR setting is used with the YUV or YUV+ display, luma (brightness) remains white, B-Y (difference between blue and luma) appears blue and R-Y (difference between red and luma) appears red. The COLOR setting is not a professional setting and should usually be switched off, especially when showing video to clients.
47 Using Blackmagic UltraScope
Waveform Display on Windows can show Luminance, Composite or Both views.
Waveform Display on Mac OS X always shows Luminance view.
Waveform Display
The Waveform Display is similar to traditional composite waveform monitors seen in many broadcast studios. On Mac OS X, the Waveform Display always shows the luminance view and the B/W button is permanently selected. On Windows, select B/W for the luminance only view, COMP for the composite only view, and BOTH for the twin luminance and composite view.
Select B/W for the luminance view which provides a digitally encoded waveform similar to traditional luminance waveform monitors. The luminance view is very useful when adjusting luma (brightness) levels in an image. Turn on the GAMUT function, and any illegal luma levels will be highlighted in bright red, so they are easy to see. Instructions for setting luma limits can be found in the Error Logging Display section of this manual. Traditional luminance waveform monitors only supported composite analog standard definition video. However UltraScope’s luminance view works in high definition as well as standard definition, so you have a consistent and easy way to adjust luma levels even when monitoring high definition digital video formats!
For Windows users, the composite view is exciting because it’s a fully digitally encoded composite waveform view and similar to a traditional waveform monitor. This provides a much easier way to align to test signals, such as color bars, because you can use the composite waveform exactly the same way as it has always been used. Composite view also works in high definition, so you have a consistent and traditional way to adjust video even when working in high definition!
When BOTH view is selected on a Windows PC, the composite and luminance waveforms display side by side in a twin view. This is incredibly useful when adjusting video levels or color correcting. It’s impossible for a vectorscope to show which objects in the video have color because a vectorscope just shows what colors are in the whole image and not which objects have color. When color correcting, you often need to look for specific parts of the image, remove the color and produce a neutral state. This is because the composite waveform is the same as the luminance signal but with chroma added.
Choosing this twin view makes it easy to identify similar items in the luminance and composite waveforms, and if more blur or chroma is observed in the composite area, the item has color. If some part of the video image is neutral gray, then it should look the same on both waveforms because no chroma will be present. With the twin view, you can look around the waveform and see the levels of color or chroma of various objects. As you color correct, the composite waveform will display more or less chroma in the video signal. Now you can see if specific objects in the video image are color or black and white.
You can make technical and creative decisions using the Waveform Display.
When the Waveform display is zoomed in, you can toggle between COMP and B/W, and view the same region of an image in the zoomed display.
48 Using Blackmagic UltraScope
Vectorscope Display
Vectorscope Display
The Vectorscope Display uses a vector view to show the colors in a video signal. You can see color bar video levels by using the color boxes in the graticule. All you need to do is select 75% or 100% color bars, depending on the standard of color bar test signals used in your facility!
Some people think you can use a vectorscope to check for illegal levels. However this is not correct and the
Parade Display should be used, and set to RGB, for checking for illegal colors. The reason you cannot use a vectorscope to check for illegal levels is that both chroma and luminance values are required. For example, colors near the white or black points in video cannot be as saturated as the much stronger colors, which can be used in the mid-grays. Because Vectorscope Display only shows colors, and not luminance values, it cannot be used to check for illegal colors.
Vectorscope Display is the best tool for checking color levels from older, analog videotape where you need to adjust chroma levels. Just play back the color-bar segment of the videotape, and then adjust the chroma and hue settings, to set the colors of the video within the square boxes in the graticule.
Vectorscope Display is also perfect for color grading, as you can easily see if your video is correctly whitebalanced or if there is a color tint. If your video has a color tint, the Vectorscope display will drift off-center, and you might see two center dots. Normally the blanking in the video signal will create a dot in the center of the vector scope, and this is because the blanking in the video is black video without any color. Blanking provides a useful reference point to help recognize areas of black video without any color information.
If your video has a color tint, you should see the blacks move off-color and off-center. The degree of shift represents the amount of color tint in your video and you can see the shift in both the white and black details of your video. This makes Vectorscope Display valuable for removing color tint and regaining correct white balance.
Vectorscope Display lets you push colors in your video to the limits, without accidentally adding unwanted color tints to blacks and whites. While color balance can be monitored on both the RGB Parade Display and
Vectorscope Display, color balance issues will often be easier to see in Vectorscope Display.
When color correcting footage of skin tone, particularly faces, you will want to keep your warm color saturation along a line at approximately 10 o'clock on the vectorscope. This is known as the "fleshtone line" and is based on the color of blood beneath the skin's surface. The fleshtone line is therefore applicable to all skin pigmentations and is the best way to ensure the skin tones of your talent look natural.
49 Using Blackmagic UltraScope
Histogram Display
Histogram Display
Histogram Display is most familiar to graphic designers and camera operators. Histogram Display shows the distribution of white to black information and lets you monitor how close the detail is to being clipped off in the whites or blacks of the video. Histogram Display also lets you see the effects of gamma changes in the video.
Black video is shown on the left of the display, and whites are shown on the right. All video should usually be found between the 0% and 100% intervals of the Histogram Display. Your video is being clipped if it moves below 0% or above 100%. Video clipping can be really bad, when you’re on a shoot, as detail in the blacks and whites must be preserved if you subsequently want to perform color-correction in a controlled environment. When shooting, keep the video above the black clip, and below the white clip, so you can have more freedom later to adjust colors without whites and blacks appearing flat and lacking in detail.
When color-correcting, you might decide to clip your video, and in which case Histogram Display will show the effect of clipping the video, and how much it is being clipped. You can even use gamma to create a similar look, with less clipping, while retaining more detail.
You cannot really use Histogram Display to check for illegal levels although you can use it to see illegal blacks and whites. Histogram Display does not show colors and so the histogram might appear to show legal levels, even though your video may contain illegal colors. Again, RGB Parade Display provides the best way to watch out for illegal levels as it shows them in both the color and luminance elements of the video signal.
The HIGH and LOW buttons simply control how bright the histogram appears on your computer display.
If you find the white area of the histogram is too bright in a dark studio, choose LOW for a more comfortable brightness level.
50 Using Blackmagic UltraScope
From the Histogram Display, select the Logging button to switch to the Error Logging Display.
Error Logging Display
Error Logging records errors in video and audio and is indispensable when reviewing video and for unattended operation. Errors may be logged for color, brightness or audio threshold levels as well as loss of video signal, change of video format or audio silence. After setting the parameters which define when an error should be logged, you can choose to start or stop error logging, save the log to a file, or clear the log.
These functions can be selected from the buttons in the Error Logging Display or from the Error Logging pulldown menu.
Errors are recorded against timecode and time of day to make them easy to find. If the timecode is not present, errors can be found by reviewing the time of day at which they were recorded. As computer clocks can drift, it is a good idea to inspect the Date & Time settings on your computer, and set the clock to synchronize with an Internet time server to ensure accurate time of day logging.
In the Full Screen view, Histogram Display and Error Logging Display share the same area of the UltraScope interface. Select the LOGGING button, below the Histogram Display, to switch to the Error Logging Display.
Select the HISTOGRAM button, below the Error Logging Display, to switch back to the Histogram Display.
After quitting and reopening the UltraScope application, the last viewed display will be made visible again, i.e. either Histogram or Error Logging.
In 2-up view, Histogram Display and Error Logging Display can be viewed simultaneously and so there are no LOGGING or HISTOGRAM buttons.
When viewing the Error Logging Display for the first time, the display will initially be blank other than for some column headings. Select the START button to commence logging. In Full Screen view, you can switch back to the Histogram Display and UltraScope will continue to perform error logging until you choose to stop it.
When error logging is being performed, the STOP button replaces the START button. When the STOP button has been selected, you can choose to START again and any new errors will be appended to the existing log. When error logging has been stopped, you can choose to SAVE the log to a CSV file or alternatively CLEAR the log. The SAVE and CLEAR buttons will not appear if no errors have been recorded.
The CSV file can be analyzed in many applications including spreadsheet and database software.
By default, error logging is performed using the EBU-R103 standard which is set down by the European
Broadcasting Union. This standard is popular worldwide and is commonly used as a template for making new error logging profiles.

Profiles window. Saved profiles appear in the profile list at the left and the current active profile appears in bold above the list.
The standard EBU-R103 profile cannot be deleted or modified and is grayed out. You can add a profile by clicking the add (+) button and typing a name for your profile. The new profile will initially contain the same parameters as the EBU-R103 profile but these can be changed as required.
Under the Gamut tab, upper and lower limits can be adjusted as a percentage of IRE units for RGB, Luma and Chroma. Set the minimum time in milliseconds (ms) for which these conditions must be sustained before being logged as errors. Set the percentage area, of pixels in error to total pixels in a frame, below which errors can be ignored. The Area setting acts like sensitivity.
Under the Audio tab, the maximum audio level can be set in decibels (dBFS) as can the audio level below which audio is regarded as silence. Set the minimum time in milliseconds (ms) for which these conditions must be sustained before being logged as errors.
Under the Video tab, loss of video signal and change of video format can be logged as errors.
Under the Notes tab, write a brief description of the new profile to help distinguish it from other profiles.
To modify a new or existing profile, ensure it is selected and then change its parameters as desired. Press
Save to save these changes or choose Revert to leave the profile unchanged.
Choosing Save saves the changes to the profile but does not determine which profile is active. To activate a profile, select it from the profile list and then choose Set Active.
You can delete a profile by selecting it in the profile list and clicking the delete (–) button.

Audio Metering Display
Audio Metering Display
Audio Metering Display shows you the audio levels in the embedded audio of the HyperDeck Studio Pro's video signal. 8 channels of embedded audio from your HyperDeck Studio Pro are de-embedded and then displayed in either dBFS or VU format. The VU button switches between dBFS and VU audio metering standards.
dBFS is essentially a meter of the overall digital audio signal and is common on modern digital equipment.
The VU meter shows average signal levels, is easy to use and very common on older equipment. VU is calibrated to the SMPTE recommendation of a 1 kHz tone test signal set to -20 dBFS.
The right hand audio scope can monitor two channels of audio. The audio scope presents audio in an X-Y view so you can see audio balance issues, out of phase conditions and whether an audio track is mono or stereo. Mono audio should appear as a single, vertical, “in phase” line. If the line is horizontal, then your audio is “out of phase” and could cancel out (i.e. loss of audio) when received by downstream equipment. Audio phase is one of the most common audio faults in large facilities, where cables can be incorrectly connected.
When monitoring stereo signals, the line of the right hand audio scope fans out to represent the difference between the left and right audio channels. The more stereo sound contained in the audio track, the more circular the line will appear. If the audio contains minimal stereo content, then the scope will appear more concentrated around the vertical axis.
While spoken dialog tends to appear as a vertical line, music with plenty of stereo content will puff out.
This is because mono audio is L+R, and will display on the vertical axis, whereas stereo content is L-R, and will display on the horizontal axis to show the stereo difference.
53 Using Blackmagic UltraScope
Picture Display
Picture Display
The Picture Display is a handy confidence monitor so you can see the video that is being received by Blackmagic UltraScope. The Picture Display has three settings: COLOR, B/W (black & white) and BLUE
(Blue Only).
Set to COLOR or B/W depending on the needs of your facility. Black & white is popular for use in colorcorrection studios so clients don’t get confused when seeing multiple color displays, and not understanding which color display is the correct, color-calibrated display. You may wish to select B/W so there is only a single calibrated color display in the room. The black & white display can also provide a useful visual reference.
Blue Only is used with color bar test signals for setting hue on playback decks. When adjusting hue, make sure all the blue bars are a constant brightness to attain the correct hue level.
Blue Only can also be used for evaluating noise levels in cameras and telecines. Blue has the least amount of signal level, in a color video signal, and so is more susceptible to noise. The BLUE setting can provide a good way to check on noise levels in a video signal.
The Picture Display will also decode RP-188 HD and VITC SD timecode information, from an SDI video input signal, and display it on the right side of the display. If the timecode information is incorrect, check your deck to ensure it is outputting the correct timecode signal encoded as VITC or RP188.
It is worth noting that some standard definition broadcast decks let you “re-stripe” the timecode track independently of the VITC, which was encoded as part of the image. This meant the VITC could not be changed without copying the video down another generation. Consequently some standard definition decks had different timecode in the VITC to the normal LTC track on the SDI video output. It is always worth checking master tapes if you think the displayed timecode is incorrect.
The Picture Display will also show timecode internally generated by your HyperDeck Studio Pro when
Generate is selected in the Ancillary Data>Timecode>Mode Select menu.
Lastly, the video standard is displayed on the left side of the Picture Display, so you can verify the video standard being output by your HyperDeck Studio Pro. This information is great for independently checking that the correct video standard is being output without having to use external monitoring equipment.
If the displayed video standard is not what you expected, you should check the output settings on
HyperDeck Studio Pro.

Using Blackmagic Design Disk Speed Test
Blackmagic Disk Speed Test is a beautiful and fun to use application that measures the read and write performance of storage media in video frame sizes. The use of video frame sizes provides accurate measurement of how the disk storage will perform with video related applications.
If you have ever wondered whether your hard drive is suitable for playback (“read”) of a particular video format, you can use Disk Speed Test to find out. With its easy to understand layout, it is now simple to understand what performance you can get out of your media drives with a single click of the Start button!
Disk Speed Test will even show you how many streams of video your storage is capable of handling!
Disk Speed Test is included free with your HyperDeck and can also be downloaded from our website free of charge.
Disk Speed Test takes the guess work out of configuring your storage system for optimal performance for any job you will be doing.
Disk Speed Test settings are accessed by clicking on the Settings button, just above the Start button.
On Mac OS X, the same settings are also available from the Menu Bar at the top of your computer display.
Select Target Drive
Click Select Target Drive to choose the storage volume you wish to test. Ensure you have Read and Write permissions for the selected volume as Disk Speed Test will write a temporary file to it. This file will be automatically deleted when you quit Disk Speed Test.
Save Screenshot
After testing your disk storage, click Save Screenshot to save a screenshot of the results to a chosen location.
Stress
Lower stress settings may be chosen if you want to demonstrate the speed of disk storage quickly. The
1 GB option would be a good choice on a trade show booth to rapidly show the read and write performance of a disk array even though the results might not be quite as accurate as when the 5 GB option is selected.
Disk Speed Test limits each write operation to a maximum of 8 seconds and each read operation to a maximum of 8 seconds so you do not have to wait long to obtain results.

56 Using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test
Disk Speed Test interface during a test
Start
Once you have chosen the desired settings, click the Start button to commence the disk speed test.
Disk Speed Test will write a temporary file to the selected target drive. When the file has finished writing, or when 8 seconds has elapsed, Disk Speed Test will stop writing and start reading back the temporary file from the drive.
Disk Speed Test will continue writing and reading the nominated sized stress file until you stop the test by clicking the Start button again.
Will it Work?
The “Will it Work?” panel can help to identify video formats where the Read performance might be significantly different to the Write performance. These differences might mean that you can capture a video format but not play it back in real time or else you can play back a video format but not capture it in real time.
The “Will it Work?” panel shows common video formats and instantly displays a check mark or cross to show if the disk performance will be adequate for the desired video format. We suggest you allow Disk Speed
Test to perform several test cycles to help reveal any video formats for which the disk storage performance might be marginal. If you observe a check mark and a cross switching between each other for a video format, this would indicate that the disk storage cannot reliably support the video format.
The “How Fast?” results panel shows the frame rates your drive can achieve in frames per second and should be read in conjunction with the “Will it Work?” panel. If the “Will it Work?” panel shows a green check mark for [email protected] in 10 Bit YUV 4:2:2, but the “How Fast?” panel shows that a maximum of
60fps will be supported, the disk storage performance is too marginal to be reliable.
How Fast?
After each Read or Write test, the results will be displayed in the “How Fast?” panel. The “How Fast?” results panel also enables you to see how many streams of video can be supported by your disk storage. If the result for “HD 1080” is 70, you can run up to 70 frames of HD 1080 video per second.
This storage speed is capable of supporting the following video formats:
2 simultaneous streams of 1080i50 video at 25 fps per stream
1 stream of 1080p50 video at 50 fps per stream
1 stream of 1080p59.94 video at 59.94 fps per stream
