The Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio HD Mini is a compact and cost-effective solution for adding professional-grade video recording and playback capabilities to a production workflow. Designed to be both accessible and powerful, it provides a streamlined path for capturing and playing back high-quality video files directly from SDI or HDMI sources.

This device records in widely adopted, post-production-ready codecs such as Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD directly onto affordable and widely available SD cards, eliminating the need for complex file conversion before editing. Its simple, intuitive interface features physical transport controls for record, stop, and play functions, making it easy to operate for quick recordings of live events, presentations, or as a backup recorder in multi-camera setups.

Housed in a small, durable metal enclosure, the HyperDeck Studio HD Mini is highly portable and can be easily integrated into desktop setups or smaller racks. It supports standard and high-definition video formats, making it versatile for a range of applications from education and corporate video to event videography and broadcast assistance.

While compact, it maintains professional connectivity with its SDI and HDMI inputs and outputs, allowing for clean integration into existing signal chains. By offering the core recording and playback functionality of the larger HyperDeck Studio models in a smaller, more affordable package, the HD Mini serves as an excellent entry point into file-based recording for professionals and enthusiasts who require reliable, high-quality media capture without a large footprint or complex setup.
