About Blackmagic HyperDeck Setup

Welcome to the HyperDeck software!

This utility updates your HyperDeck to the latest software release for new features, bug fixes and other enhancements.

What's new in HyperDeck Setup 8.5

This is a major update for HyperDeck Extreme models and includes the new features as described below:

You can now use the internal M.2 SSD as network storage. There is a new setting in the menu to enable the internal M.2 flash memory card to be used and then you can select it to be used as either a record cache or as network storage. When it's used as network storage, it can be accessed by all computers on your network via the rear 10G Ethernet port.

Both HyperDeck Extreme models allow you to install an M.2 flash memory card by unscrewing a metal plate on the underside of the HyperDeck Extreme unit.

Check the manual for recommended models of M.2 card or your reseller can install an M.2 flash memory card for you. This update also has other small improvements and bug fixes.

You can now record 4 separate inputs on the HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR model. There is a new input menu setting in the record menu that lets you select "4 x SDI" to select the 4 channel recording mode. The LCD will show a multi-view with the 4 inputs live.

This means you can use each of the 4 x 12G-SDI inputs for recording 4 separate video inputs at the same time, as long as they are the same video standard. The HyperDeck will automatically re-sync in the inputs if they are out of time. Each input can record all HD and Ultra HD video standards up to 2160p60.

Each record channel will store the media files into a separate record folder to make managing media files easer. You can also swipe to set the metadata for each channel separately, such as the camera number. That's important when doing replay.
