  Hyperdeck Studio recording

  Posted by Tony Marone on November 27, 2011 at 7:36 pm

  Hi,

  Now that Hyperdeck Studio is supposed to record a compressed format can a standard (non solid state) drive be used to record in compressed format? Since the compression is said to be about 5 to 1, it would seem that the hard drive would be only recording 1/5 or so of the data compared to non-compressed. I really want to buy one of these, but the info seems so sketchy. Please post up any info you have on this idea.

  Thanks,
  Tony

  Solid State disk requirement remains in place as the platter based drives and SSD’s are different and the Hyperdecks were designed for ONLY SSD’s.

  However, while using the DNxHD codecs the SSD requirements will be lessened so that more brands will work without issues. Of course we recommend you stay with the models we’ve checked.

  I may be missing something here, so please bear with me. Now that I have done the update to the new firmware in the Hyperdec Studio, where can I go to change the preferences so I can use the DNxHD Codec?

  Thank you
