Are you absolutely 100 % certain that your rendered file is Apple ProRes HQ ? If it's not that specific flavour of ProRes it wont work.
Please check you're rendering the right flavour. I don't believe you can make proprietary ProRes files.
I know that the camera will playback any ProRes HQ file, even ones that aren't recorded in the camera. I've rendered to ProRes HQ and then put the SSD drive back in the camera by accident and discovered they play.

John & Others with Rendering Interests...
Spoke with Black Magic Support this morning... turns out I had my Shuttle on the wrong settings. That said, there are some render settings that BMD provided me. I still have to try them out, I was not able to today. Anyway here is what Julian from BMD Tech support sent.

Hi Bill,
As we discussed over the phone, here are the settings for
exporting a ProRes file from FCP7 for use with the HyperDecks. Please keep in mind that as the HyperDecks were not designed to accommodate this workflow I cannot guarantee that these settings will work through other applications.
Toe Export ProRes Files from FCP7:
Choose File -> Export Using QuickTime Conversion and a save menu should pop up
Select the Options button to reveal the Movie Settings menu
Select the Video Settings button to set your codec and frame rate, make sure to set Compression Type to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
Select the Video Size button from the Movie Settings menu to set your output resolution
Select the Sound Settings button from the Movie Settings menu to set your audio settings. Make sure to choose 16bit little endian and Stereo, LR for HyperDeck compatibility
Click Okay and then save save your exported file. Transfer to the HyperDeck and playback
Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Best,
-- Julian Fine
