Blackmagic Design's HyperDeck Studio Mini makes it easy to playback content during live event production. Like the other HyperDeck Studio products, it can be remotely controlled from either a hardware panel or via software, and of course you can always control recording and playback from the front of the deck itself.
But what about looping content?
Yes, like its big brothers, the HyperDeck Studio Mini can loop content. By pressing the play button twice on the front of any HyperDeck Studio, the deck will continuously loop a single video clip.
But what if you want to loop through all recorded clips on your SD card?
Well, the HyperDeck Studio Mini has an option for that. If you want to continuously loop through all of the content on an SD card, simply press the play button three times on the front of the HyperDeck Studio Mini.
Conclusion
