Blackmagic
Design released a new version of its popular HyperDeck Shuttle Solid State
Disk recorder. HyperDeck Shuttle 2 replaces the existing model and adds broadcast
quality 10-bit recording and playback to the Avid DNxHD format for the same low
price of $345.
HyperDeck Shuttle 2 is shipping
now and available from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide. HyperDeck 2.0 software
public beta is available to download now from the Blackmagic Design web site.
Any customer who has HyperDeck Shuttle 2 can download this software update to
add DNxHD compressed recording. HyperDeck Shuttle now
records the highest quality uncompressed or compressed video formats onto common
low cost SSDs in the smallest possible size! HyperDeck Shuttle is small, affordable
and battery powered so it’s perfect as a field recorder. For direct camera
mounting, HyperDeck Shuttle Mounting Plate can be added to provide multiple pre
drilled 1/4” and 3/8” mounting holes. HyperDeck
Shuttle turns low cost cameras into high end broadcast cameras because it allows
video file recording to bypass the camera's compression by recording from SDI
and HDMI directly to 10-bit uncompressed QuickTime or Avid DNxHD MXF formats.
SSDs are cheap and fast, and can be plugged into an eSATA dock for instant access
to the media files, so are the most flexible recording medium available.
DNxHD is a broadcast industry standard for media files and adding native support
for this compressed video format into HyperDeck Shuttle will allow dramatically
longer recording times, lower media storage costs, and provide full file format
compatibility with Avid Media Composer systems. All media is recorded in MXF format
that’s immediately available for all Avid Media Composer systems and leading
video applications including Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve.
SSDs are the latest computer disk technology that features flash storage in a
low cost and small 2.5" size. Using SSDs with HyperDeck Shuttle provides
video recording with blazing fast speed, low power consumption and totally silent
operation. This is a perfect replacement for mechanical tape based acquisition
and also eliminates complicated and expensive disk arrays. With no moving parts,
SSDs are unbelievably robust and can handle shocks and vibrations that would destroy
conventional hard drives or videotapes. With SDI and
HDMI inputs and outputs, HyperDeck Shuttle works with virtually every camera,
deck or monitor and effortlessly plugs into monitors or televisions for instant
on set preview. HyperDeck Shuttle can also be used as a video playback source
for digital signage systems or connected to a live production switcher for recording
events and then used for live playback! “Recording
DNxHD files straight to disk now costs less per minute than recording to professional
tape plus it’s the most efficient workflow possible,” said Grant Petty,
CEO, Blackmagic Design. “A 64Gb SSD is less than $100 and will record 50
minutes of the highest quality DNxHD video! This update means that both HyperDeck
Studio and HyperDeck Shuttle customers can record broadcast quality DNxHD files
for less than $2 a minute!” HyperDeck Shuttle
