I feels in a Masterclass of hyperdeck!!!! thanks for you help!!!!
Great video, thanks Doug!
Thank you Doug you are the most helpful media genius in the industry! Thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤
You're much too kind!
Thanks for these very helpful videos!
At work we use Hyperdeck Studio12G to monitor test articles in a large facility. We continuously record, only playback to review if something were to go wrong with the test article. The SSDs are nice because readily available.
We record in in Prores Proxy so each SSD holds up to 35 hours of 720p60. We don't need the super high res. I guess broadcast people need density like one hour 1 TB clips.
I had issues of several units where the front panel buttons fail to respond. BMD repaired the units but recommend we don't stack multiple Studio12G units together (overheat issues?). Anyway I re-arranged our racks with space between units.
We had issues on one project that wanted us to save clips (few minutes each) that we used DaVinci Resolve to make mp4 clips. We noticed a few times the SSD became unreadable also not able to playback. I did some searching around, it appears if doing high frequent record/stop/playback a typical SSD card will fail. This is where it is necessary to get data center quality SSD cards that cost five times more than a regular SSD card. However, I haven't been able to replicate the problem in my lab. Management reluctant to spend $10K+ on SSD cards which I can't say will avoid this problem (which we haven't experienced lately).
It seems BMD is the only manufacturer that has a recorder in this form factor and uses SSD cards, it is perfect for our setup (and far cry from what we used before that was continously recording on VHS). We have several Studio12G, I will see if we can purchase more from stores that still carry this unit so our stock is same units for commonality. We don't need 4K.
Nice & Thanks :)
Very helpful! I currently have the plus version I’m a bit disappointed the monitor out is only 1080p I wonder if the pro version monitors a 4K signal ?
The monitor output on all of them is HD. It's just for quick reference and isn't designed as a primary output signal.
Hey Dough, great explanation!
I would love if you could address a few extra points in a follow-up video on how to build a recording rack for ISOs:
1) How to master/slave separate units with Timecode, Genlock & RS422.
2) How to trigger the ISO recording through the ATEM Software Control. (Is all the cabeling still required if the AUX-Outs are used?)
3) How to offload the files with FTP to a NAS System.
If I'm being honest, I probably won't be doing a video about those things. But I can give you a little info.
1. If you haven't already, watch my video on timecode and genlock as a starting point. ruclips.net/video/yUn8mMQ0JGg/видео.html RS422 is used to control the decks (sending commands to play, stop, record, fast forward, rewind, etc.) Essentially to sync multiple decks you have to connect all three connections from one unit to the next.
2. As far as I know the record trigger isn't sent on the Aux outputs. So you'd want to connect multiple units using RS422 and then start recording on the master unit, which would then trigger the rest. In most cases, timecode data would come as part of the SDI signal from the Aux output of the switcher, except for a handful of ATEM models that don't output timecode.
3. Pick an FTP transfer program of your choice. I use Filezilla most of the time.
@@djp_video Hey Doug, thanks alot!
Thanks Doug, all of your videos are greatly appreciated. I am looking at a way to play three hyper decks at the same time to three different projectors for a live music show. I currently use a Steam Deck to play single clips simultaneously when queued by the on stage talent. This works quite well for me, but wanted to know if there was a better remote that I can use that wouldn’t need to be set-up through a laptop, as they are looking to make it more idiot proof as I can’t tour with them anymore.
All of the Studio models have RS422 remote control inputs, and all but the Mini have RS422 outputs. That gives you a way to synchronize transport controls. From here, I'll go over one way to use that, but it certainly isn't the only one.
For any approach you might take, you'll want a common sync reference to make sure the decks stay in sync with one another. If you have a separate genlock source you can use it, but otherwise you can take the Reference Out of your first deck and connect it to the Reference Input of deck 2, and then repeat from the 2nd to the 3rd. In the menu for decks 2, 3, etc. set the Reference Source to Auto or External. Deck 1 can be set to Internal if you'd like but it isn't required.
Back to RS422... get yourself some straight-through DB9 male-to-male cables, like amzn.to/4bmDwBU. Connect the Remote Out of deck 1 to the Remote In of deck 2, then Remote Out of deck 2 to deck 3, etc. This synchronizes the transport controls so that when you press play or record or stop on the first deck that all of the others follow suit.
That will get you close. There are no guarantees that the decks will stay frame accurate though. There's nothing in these connections telling the slave decks to follow/go to a specific timecode position so if one decides to glitch and pause briefly at any point it will drift from the others.
Using a piece of software to start playback via Ethernet commands might also be an option, but you'd want to use software specifically designed for that purpose. Both ATEM macros and BitFocus Companion, for example, offer control over HyperDecks, but those commands would be issued back-to-back rather than simultaneously so there's no guarantee that the last deck being controlled starts at the same time as the first deck. And even with software control you'd still need the Reference sources to be the same.
@@djp_video Thanks Doug for such a quick response. It’s greatly appreciated,
I am currently using a Stream Deck to run three of them, and haven’t had an issue with the Hyperdecks staying in sync, but a few frames wouldn’t really be noticeable for my purposes. I’m still not completely comfortable with Companion, as I have had some issues with a string of commands only partially completing at times with a button press.
I also tried MixEffect on an iPad which worked well with shortcuts, but I don’t like having to look down at the touch screen while switching at the same time.
Is there a hardware controller that you can recommend? One that doesn’t have to run through a computer and software would be preferable, such as X-Keys and Central Control, which I’ve also used.
In one of your previous videos you mentioned that you can’t use your X-Keys with a latest version of switcher or software, but I can’t remember which you referred to.
I saw a video with Central Control at the latest show where they were talking about a module that can be programmed and then stays with the control surface, so you don’t have to run it through a computer anymore. Do you know much about that? That’s a whole video in itself 😉
Hi Doug,
Love your detailed walkthrough! Just ordered a Hyperdeck HD Mini (the new smallest model) and tried to figure out what SD card media to purchase for it..
I’ve seen the very short list of “supported” card brands/models on BMD’s website, but i assume it’s possible to use other brands like Lexar, Sandisk etc., as long as they are UHS-II and fast read/write speeds. What cards do you use for recording on your HyperDecks? (ps. I can’t even source those BMD mentioned sd card brands here in Denmark 😅)
I'm in the planning stages of a video specifically about which cards to use. But, short answer, consult my SD card database at djp.li/cardperf and select any card with write speeds over about 50 MB/sec (for HD).
On the HyperDeck Studio 4k Pro, is there a setting to trigger timecode output when the REC button is pushed? I'm hoping to trigger a Zoom F8 with start/stop.
Timecode is always output as long as it exists. There are a couple sources for timecode within the device -- the SDI input, or an internal source. So as long as one of those is active and valid the HyperDeck will output timecode.
Hi Doug, I noticed you didn't mention anything about the ability to playback mp4 files from a computer or other source that is NOT formatted to hyperdeck strict settings. Grant had mentioned during this series launch that the 4K Pro model had the ability to accommodate this and that the feature would be added to some of the other models at some time. Any word about this on your end? Thanks.
I haven't taken the time to do that testing yet. The 4K Pro in this video was actually rented so I've had a limited amount of time with it. I'll be purchasing one very soon so it will be a lot easier to dedicate some time to testing the MP4 capabilities.
Hey Doug, your videos are the best. I was wondering if you were familiar with the Hyperdecks and their effect on the Tally and CCU. I have two BMPCC 4Ks passing through two Hyperdeck Studio HD Plus' then into my ATEM Mini Extreme ISO. Once the cameras are connected to the hyperdecks and then hyperdecks to ANY channel on my ATEM, my control and tally signal from channel 1 both get sent to whatever channel my Hyperdecks are on. Very frustrating on set, and seems like there should be a simple way to tell the Hyperdecks which channel they should correspond to. The issue happens whether plugged into the SDI of the Hyperdeck with converters, or directly into HDMI. BMD Support has left me hanging.
So your signal chain is BMDPCC -> (HDMI) HyperDeck Studio HD Plus -> (HDMI) ATEM Mini Extreme?
Very nice content. Do you have any experience with the BM Hyperdeck shuttle HD? I want to invest in hardware with the sole pupose of playing back video's in my livestream via my Atem extreme. Is the shuttle any good?
The Shuttle HD will work well for that if you control it through ATEM Software Control or another similar piece of software. The lack of screen makes it more challenging to select which clips to play than other HyperDecks, but with an additional controller which can show you which clip is selected it can work well.
👍👍
Thanks Doug, greatly appreciate your review of the HyperDeck Studio HD 4K Pro. I'm considering purchasing one and setting up with the HDMI output of my computer, into the HyperDeck and then into a 4K 60fps display. I'm wondering if there is any noticeable latency (e.g. using a mouse etc) if I was using my computer with this HyperDeck in that manner? Thanks!
No, not really. It's very minimal.
@@djp_video Great, thanks for that!
Doug, if I create some ProRes 422 videos (pre show, intermission, etc) and also some 4444 videos (a clock overlay to be used as a fight timer), will a typical Hyperdeck be able to see them all? You've mentioned (and I've found myself) that the HDs are indeed quite picky about having different formats present. I finally upgraded to a larger switcher where I can afford to burn another input on proper key/fill videos and realized this may be an issue as I started rendering my fight clocks and sponsor tickers in 4444. TIA
If they're all of the same video format (resolution and frame rate) you can mix ProRes 4:4:4:4 and 4:2:2 on the same card. But I've found it more convenient to render everything with the Alpha channel, so even the video files without a proper alpha channel are shown properly when utilizing the Fill/Key functionality of the switcher.
When the HyperDeck plays a 4:2:2 file, the B output is a mirror of the A output -- they both provide the same video. But whenever an alpha channel is present in a 4:4:4:4 file, the B output switches to Key. So if you have a mix of both formats on the same card, the B output will switch between video and key depending on which file you're playing.
@@djp_video Man that's a great fix. Good thought process to avoid unintended slip-ups. If I'm already burning storage space on ProRes file sizes, it makes no difference to just make them all 4444. I'm going to make one of your events and thank you properly one day. Thanks more than you know from Cincinnati.
Does the newest Hyperdeck have a in/out marker for cueing clips for playback?
No. It doesn't have any marker capability.
I have a tascam model 16 mixer which can record 16 channels. is it possible to dedicate one of the channels to record the timecode from one of the black magic hyperdecks so I can sync it up later in video editor? I'm new and still learning.
Yes. Take the Timecode output and connect it to an analog audio input on your recorder.
Hi Doug, is possible use HyperDeck Studio Mini as video player trigerred by Time code or MIDI? I need someting to play multiple videos in sync with ligtning and sound on live concerts. Whole show runs on Time code and MIDI but i use DAW Reaper to playback videos for now. Since I dosnt trust my PC, I need some more profesional solution.
Of course the HyperDeck by itself doesn't have a MIDI connection, but with software you could put something together. Central Control (centralcontrol.io) supports MIDI messages and can talk to ATEM switchers, and ATEM switchers can start and stop playback of HyperDecks, so you could do something with that. Additionally, JustMacros (justmacros.tv) supports MIDI and HyperDecks so you could write some code to control the HyperDeck there as well.
Those are only two ideas. I'm sure the community could come up with any number of other ways to accomplish the same thing.
Is it still possible to run the stinger with alpha channel that you laid out in your video with the new hyper deck studio HD? Or does the lack of two SDI outputs cause an issue?
You have to have two separate outputs. The lowest-end model in Blackmagic's lineup that can do this today is the HyperDeck Studio HD Plus.
@@djp_video thanks Doug I’ll check it out. Appreciate all the great content you put out.
Hello, I have multiples blackmagic camera can I connect all of the to the same blackmagic pro2 and record them to separate file or do I need to buy one recorder for each camera ? Many thanks !
One recorder per camera. Or record locally on the camera.
The shuttle looks like it would work best for instant replays
It's missing one key capability that is a must with instant replay -- the ability to play and record at the same time... so while you're searching for a clip, or playing it back, it continues to record in the background. None of the HyperDecks can do that.
The other thing this lacks is an easy ability to change playback speed. Instant replay is very often played back at slow speed ("Slo-mo"), and while the Shuttle can play back slowly, navigating the interface to do it is slow and tedious.
Hi Doug - I was wondering if you could help me. I've reached out on the forum and to BM but can't get the exact answers I need. I’m looking into the Hyperdeck HD Plus and I’m trying to figure out the behaviours of the unit before buying.
When you press the play button once (I’ve figure that you can press for loop clip and loop all clips), what does the unit do when it reaches the end of the clip? Does it hold the last frame, go black, or go onto the next clip? From what I'm understanding, I think that when it gets to the end of the clip, it moves onto the next clip automatically?
For some further info, I am looking to do a key/fill animation across a number of clips. I want the behaviour to be play first animation and then hold on the last frame of the first clip. Then I want to be able to play the next clip which will show the next bit of the animation when triggered - and so on. This also brings me to the next question - if you can do this, can the Hyderdeck do it such that it doesn’t drop a frame (eg I don’t want the animation to flash as the unit transitions between clips)
Some further thoughts - I could potentially trigger this from an Atem Mini ISO Extreme (I understand that does hold last frame) - or use companion (or a mixture of both) - but don’t see any configurable items for holding frame in the companion plugin.
I’m aware that you can do a command line play and hold - but I don’t want to be driving this from the command line - but do realise that I can change the behaviour of the unit by calling -
play option: stop mode: {lastframe/nextframe/black}
- what I dont know, is if this is only when using remote control, or whether it impacts the buttons on the front also (I'm guessing it doesnt). And even if i put the stop mode as lastframe, I think that I can trigger everything OK as I need - but I still don't know if it will be seamless as I switch between clips.
The BM docs really are pretty poor on this front - and as somebody that has the devices, I wonder if you could provide any input to these behaviours? There's certainly nothing on RUclips that I've found that calls all this sort of stuff out?! Really appreciate any help that you could offer up on this front. Thanks.
Should also mention - looking at the older Hyperdeck Studio Mini (so I can get the key/fill functionality) - I think I'm out of luck on the last frame functionality is not quoted in the manual (the play option: stop mode: {lastframe/nextframe/black} bit) - although I'm not aware if there are any firmware updates that have put this functionality in...?
On all of the HyperDeck Studio models, if you only rely on front panel control you only have three options -- play all clips, repeat one clip, or repeat all clips. There is no mode to play a single clip and stop/hold.
If you control from ATEM Software Control, there is a mode to play a single clip. In this mode it does hold on the last frame. I believe it uses the playlist(timeline) feature of the HyperDeck through its API.
@@djp_video Brilliant, thanks for getting back to me Doug - and I dont suppose you could tell me if you are using the Atem, if you have played a clip and its currently holding, if you trigger another clip, does it do so without any frames inbetween? This is the biggie that I can't seem to get an answer on? So for example, if you have the exact same frame at the end of the first clip as at the start of the second clip, do you see a gap between the two clips or are they seamless? Sorry to ask, I just dont know where else I can get this answer!
It's seamless in that it doesn't add video frames from any other sources (no black frames, for example), but there is a slight delay when changing clips that way.
@@djp_video so theres a delay - but no visual cut between the clips?
Hi! Thanks for your reviews! Very helpful! Please, I would like to know if the HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro has a loud fan noise, because I need a very silent unit. The HD mini for example does fine, but the multi view 4k is imposible to use in studio environment near the talents, it is extremely loud. Second question: is it possible to sync rey start of 2 or 3 units to have them perfectly in sync in a Multicam setup? Thanks!!!!
It isn't silent. But it also isn't loud. I wouldn't put it directly next to on-air talent.
You can sync two units if you have a reference input and use a controller that can start playback on two units simultaneously, like the HyperDeck Extreme Control.
@@djp_video Thanks!! So, typical talking head interview in a living room and the 2 or 3 Hyperdecks 3 meter away from the talents mic would be a bad idea...?
That depends on how you mount it. If it's in an open frame, yeah it might be too loud. In a heavy or enclosed case it could be alright.
@@djp_video thanks for your advice!!
Hello Doug, Is there possible to make a macro (with the atem software control) to make a slowmotion replay of a defined duration (the last 10 seconds, for example) with a Hyperdeck shuttle HD? some things work, but I run into several problems: selecting the last clip recorded, setting playback to slow speed and finally rewinding the last 10 seconds of the last clip. thank you
It might be possible, though it's going to be tricky, and may not yield the results you're hoping for. Macros are pretty limited in their capabilities, and the recording feature is even more limited. You may want to consider editing the code that makes up the macros manually to get you closer to the behavior you want.
There are a lot of videos on RUclips on how to edit a macro, but the basic idea is that you save your configuration in ATEM Software Control, and then open the .xml file in a text editor like Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. The macros will be in a section called and can be edited to tweak to the desired behavior. Playback speed is one of the parameters that can be set on the HyperDeck playback command. The tricky part will likely be finding a command (or combination thereof) that will select the end of the last clip, and then back up exactly 10 seconds. Once you've finished making changes to the macro, open the .xml file in ATEM Software Control again to load them into the switcher.
What you ultimately need for this to work consistently is software which has some intelligence and can query the deck for the number of clips, length of each clip, and then issue the proper commands to jump to the exact right point for playback and issue the proper playback command. It wouldn't be hard to write, as the protocol for controlling the HyperDeck is pretty simple and is well documented. The only tricky part about coding something like that is developing the state machine to make sure communication with the HyperDeck is reliable.
There is at least one piece of software out there that attempts to allow you to use HyperDecks for slow motion replay. I forget the name, but it has been attempted. It might turn up with a little searching.
Ultimately you might consider going with a purpose-built solution. vMix has a replay feature available (and that's what I use) and it's available fairly inexpensively for about $50/month or $1200 for a perpetual license. You can easily cover the cost of that with what you're charging your client for replay. You just need a half-way decent PC with a dedicated GPU and capture card to make it work. datavideo also makes a replay device which is fairly affordable as well (though it is very limited in its playback length). There's also Vizrt 3Play, but I haven't heard many good things about that one.
The two big issues with the HyperDeck in this application is that it can't play and record at the same time so anything that happens while you're playing back is going to be lost (which might not be a deal breaker depending on what you're shooting), and it's fairly slow to switch between recording and playback modes, so it will likely never give you instant playback.
In addition to being able to record and play simultaneously, one more nice thing about a dedicated replay solution is that you can usually use them to create isolated recordings as well, as they do record for the entire duration of an event without interruption. And most of them can synchronize playback of multiple recordings, giving you the option of switching angles from multiple cameras or watching the same event from multiple angles back-to-back. Replay systems also usually make it easy to adjust the start and end points of each replay clip so you don't end up with a lot of dead air waiting for the right part of the clip to start, especially when playing back at slow speeds... a 10 second clip playing back at 33% is 30 seconds, which when you're waiting to play back a highlight feels like an eternity. The better replay systems also give you a way to assemble a highlight reel as you go... as you find interesting things happening, you add them to a playback queue during an event. They also make it easy to mark clips so you can tell at a glance what they are, which is pretty important when you've got dozesns or hundreds to manage. Whenever I've been hired to run replay, there's just an expectation that they'll be handed a highlight reel at the end of the event, if not have highlight reels ready to go for sponsor breaks and the end of the broadcast, so having a purpose-built solution is a requirement. This would be next to impossible to do with a HyperDeck.
I understand the appeal of using a HyperDeck for replay. They're pretty inexpensive for what they do. At one point I was considering going that direction. But they don't come without a lot of limitations for that application, and there are other alternatives out there that are better suited and don't cost much more.
@@djp_video Good evening Doug, thank you for your prompt reply.
I'm just looking for the xml codes used on these devices but I don't find any documentation on these codes in the Blackmagic manual for either the ATEM or the Hyperdeck shuttle HD, to modify the macros manually. Do you have a list or information on all these xml codes? I've done some tests and the problems I'm having are in particular selecting the last clip, going back 5 or 10 seconds and adjusting the slowmotion playback, although I think the last point can be solved, I'll have to test again to find the right codes. I'm doing this as a hobby and therefore don't charge anything, so I'm looking for an inexpensive solution, I just want to broadcast live volleyball matches from the local club slow switching isn't a problem for me, I have a trick that consists of sending the video via a switcher to the atem and shuttle at the same time, then returning from the shuttle to another hdmi input. I only switch to this input when I'm ready to send the slowmotion.
In particular, I'm looking for xml code for the JOG and SCR buttons 🙂
Thank You, Have a nice day
How do you connect a 4pin yc video cable to the hyperdeck studio pro
The 4-pin YC is also known as S-Video, which is standard definition analog video.
I believe you're asking about the HyperDeck Studio Pro 2. It doesn't have a YC compatible input directly. So you'll need to go through a device to convert it to SDI first.
The Analog-to-SDI Mini Converter from Blackmagic Design, amzn.to/3K0qL3Z, will do that for you. But you'll also need a cable, amzn.to/3yobur1, to separate the Y and C signals for the converter as well. You'll connect the Y output of the cable to the "B-Y or S-VIDEO Y" input of the converter, and the C output to the "R-Y or S-VIDEO C" input of the converter. You can then take the SDI output of the converter and connect it to the SDI In on the HyperDeck.
The switches of the converter need to be set with switches 1, 6,7, and 8 OFF and switch 4 ON to tell it that you're sending it YC video.
I keep finding information all over the place. Does the hyperdeck hd pro record 4k dci? Some venues say no only uhd. Thanks
From www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/hyperdeckstudio/techspecs/W-HYD-13 :
4K DCI Video Standards
4Kp23.98 DCI, 4Kp24 DCI, 4Kp25 DCI, 4Kp29.97 DCI, 4Kp30 DCI
@@djp_video so essentially my camera outputs 4k DCI @23.98. I could get away with getting hyperdeck hd plus if I only need to record that format correct? Why the 4k designation on the top model?
@@wertup123 The HD Pro model supports 4K, but only up to 30 frames per second. The 4K Pro model supports 4K up to 60 frames per second. The HD Pro will play back files with an Alpha channel at up to 1080p60, whereas the 4K Pro will do Alpha channels at up to 4K60. The 4K Pro also adds HEVC codec support.
Thank you man. You've answered all of my questions
Hi Doug, when I press rec on hyperdeck, timecode is set to a random # and it difficult the editing process with notes. how do I reset timecode to zero for recording?
That would be the timecode from the connected source. For example, if you're recording the output of an ATEM switcher, that's the internal timecode for the switcher.
If you have a more recent model of HyperDeck you can change the timecode source in the menus so it uses an internal counter rather than the timecode from the video source.
When I change the file format (through tcp command from Terminal), the hyperdeck studio HD plus changes the video format as well. If the disk is empty it takes the input video format (selected INPUT) and when there are clips of the new file format on the active disk it takes the video format of the first video it finds, based on sorted on video format. (Not on the order of the disk list, not in order of create timestamp). At least this is what I think what is being done. Can you confirm??
If you do change the active format through the terminal interface it will list the video files it finds in that particular format. The reason I explain things the way that I do in this video is that most people (I'd guess 99%) never touch the terminal interface and have no desire to do so... so effectively whatever file format the HyperDeck finds first in the directory listing is the format it uses when powered on or when media is connected/inserted. I do not know what sorting is done before it opens a file to determine its format, if any -- I've never taken the time to test and research that.
@@djp_video Thanks for your swift answer! Appreciate you do not want to put time in testing this. I feel it is importnat to understand the behavior of the deck and therefor testing using Terminal. Only two QuickTimeProRes clips on the disk, the first one in 1080p50 the second one in 1080p24. Change file format to H.264Medium and then back to QuickTimeProRes. The deck shows 1 clip: the one with video format 1080p24. The other one can only be placed on the timeline with 'slot select: video format: 1080p50' (something which can't be done in Companion hyperdeck module). I know you recommend to only put one format on a disk.
I have a curious question does the hyperdeck studio pro 4k upscale HD to 4k like the Web Presenter 4k does?
No.
@@djp_video thank you
@@djp_video I have one more question if you can answer, Does the Web presenter output 4k on its sdi loop after it has been upscaled? Or does the sdi loop just output the same resolution that you can feed it?
Thank you for this comprehensive review. Question: you state that the Hyperdeck Studio Pro 2 has s-video inputs; which inputs are those? What cable would one use?
Did I say that? That doesn't sound right. They don't accept S-Video.
@@djp_video Hm. Can you clarify if what you said at the 24:45 mark is inaccurate?
I mis-spoke. I was thinking of their Analog-to-SDI Mini Converters, which will do composite, component, or S-Video.
@@djp_video If I used that converter with the Hyperdeck, would it separate colors appropriately or is it adding unnecessary equipment?
Are you needing an S-Video output? If so the SDI-to-Analog converter would do that for you. And that's about as simple of a setup as you can get.
Tell me how to implement instant replay functions with atem extreme iso ? Can you tell me any options?
You'll need equipment made for that purpose. I believe the best budget-friendly option is vMix software with a Blackmagic Decklink 8K Pro card and a computer powerful enough to run it. There are hardware-only options but they're going to be much more expensive.
@@djp_video Thank you very much. It's a pity that such great extreme recording capabilities cannot be applied in real time-))
even if I can have access to them.
Is this your latest video on the current hyperdeck models?! Are you aware that current models allow for multiple controllers? (I use 1x Switcher software, 1x Companion hyperdeck module and 1x generic tcp module, plus 1x tcp through Terminal, all the same time!
Yes, I use multiple control methods simultaneously all the time.

Preciso de sua ajuda
Tenho o davinci Resolve studio 18.5 e tenho um Hyperdeck Studio hd pro acontece que quando faço a edição de um vídeo e exporto para o cartão ou ssd do gravador não consigo que o gravador Hyperdeck studio hd pro faça o Playback ja tentei varos codecs no menu do gravador e mo davinci resolve
Tenho também um Hyperdeck mini e acontece o mesmo.
Ja testei no Premier pro cc 2023 em Prores proxy e também não faz o playback a gravar funciona tudo bem
Não sei se o seu também faz isso
Agradeço muito sua ajuda Obrigado
Have Blackmagic design added the capability yet to be able to switch recording media? Instead of physically removing an SSD or XD card?
Also their 12G model can't play back files other than those recorded on the Hyperdeck.
Agree with earlier posts that BMD documentation is pretty poor with regard to their features and functions.

Hi I am new to all of this and cannot seem to get an answer as to "can any of these record an IP stream from PTZcam". Everything on youtube is high level stuff but no answer to what seems to be a simple "does it or doesn't it and if so how?" and if it doesn't "what does?" lol - thanks for your videos, I hope you can help
These would not do that. They expect an SDI video source, or on the Plus/Pro models, from HDMI.
Do you happen to know what format your PTZcam is generating? That will dictate what devices are able to talk to it.
@@djp_video Thank you for responding, the formats listed are 1080p, 1080i, HDMI, NDI. I'm currently capturing my ptzs through Vmix using the multicam recorder but would like a bit of safety/redundancy. I have camcorders that record my full feed and act as backups but these ptzs are just out there on an island and "if" the laptop glitches the footage could be glitched as well. Again thanks for responding I hope you can help👍🏾
is it possible to use USB-C HyperDeck Studio HD Plus as a web cam? I've read somewhere about it.
That's what they say. I haven't tried it myself though.
I wonder if these are still relevant in 2024.
Absolutely! I don't know of any viable alternatives anywhere near this price point.
Hello Dough, i am relatively new in all this and i would like to know how can i record audio during an event in the hyperdeck studio HD Pro recorder? I want to buy it but there are no xlr inputs, and is it possible to record h265 to an external drive. Could you help? Thanks. Leo
In most cases we're injecting the audio into a video switcher upstream of the HyperDeck, so it's already embedded in the SDI input feed. But in case you need to replace it with something else, you can use the Blackmagic Audio to SDI converter which will embed up to 4 analog channels or 8 AES/EBU channels into the SDI feed.
If you're recording in 4K on one of the Plus or Pro models you can record in h.265. h.265 isn't supported for HD.
@@djp_video thanks a lot Doug. I appreciate it
