Recording using Dual Media Slots
When there is less than 3 minutes of record time remaining on your SD card or SSD,
the timecode counter on your HyperDeck's LCD will turn red and the 'stop' button will
flash slowly.
This also means there is no second disk with space that recording can continue onto. In this
case, you simply need to insert a disk with space so recording can continue. Once you insert a
blank disk into the slot that's not being used for recording, the slow flashing will stop and this
means HyperDeck can continue to record, because this second disk has been checked ok and
there is space to keep recording.

If you have less than three minutes
of recording time left on your
current disk and no formatted
media in your HyperDeck's
second slot, the timecode
indicator will turn red indicating
your recording is about to stop.
If you want to change the disk you are recording to at any time, and you have a second disk that
has free space, then simply hold down the record button and the recording will move from the
current disk to the second disk. This is very useful when you want to get that disk out of the
HyperDeck without pausing recording. This can happen during live events when you need to
get an important recording out to another location, but you don't want to miss anything and you
don't want to stop recording.
If the 'record' button flashes quickly, this means the disk is not fast enough for sustained
recording. In this case, if you are recording uncompressed HD, we recommend changing to a
compressed recording format such as ProRes or DNxHD, or if you are recording compressed
video and the record button flashes quickly, try using faster recommended media.
Ref Input
If your HyperDeck has a reference input, it can accept black burst and tri-level sync signals from
a sync generator. Connect a reference source to this input if you want to synchronize
HyperDeck with other video equipment, such as a production switcher.

If there is space on a formatted
disk in the second slot, HyperDeck
will display an icon in the top right
corner to indicate that recording
will automatically switch over
once the current disk is full.
