    Hi,

    I’m based in Germany and need to speak to someone in Customer Support regarding the Hyperdeck Studio. I’ve tried emailing the EMEA email address several times and heard nothing back. Can anyone from Blackmagic recommend an email?

    thanks,

    chris

    support-emea@blackmagic-design.com is the correct address. Of course you can also try your dealer and see if they can answer it. You can also post the question here, I might be able to help or the community might know the answer is well (couldn’t tell from your post what the actual issue is).

    Of course if you are in a hurry you can always call the office directly during normal business hours.

    Hi there,

    The issue we have is audio sync. We’re capturing 1080p via HDMI to MXF format and the audio is drifting. After 15 minutes of capture the audio is about 6 seconds ahead. This problem exists both during playback on the Hyperdeck and also when reviewing the files on the Avid. We tried 2 different sources also: HDMI from a PC and a Sony DVCCam camcorder. The picture quality looks great though 🙂

    Chris,

    If you search this forum you will find a thread regarding the audio-drift-issue. Blackmagic has already logged this as a bug and a new firmware version “Beta2” is in the works that adresses this issue.

    Right now there is nothing you can do to solve this issue but to wait for the new firmware.

    Hi Joshua,

    We installed the Beta 2 software and the audio sync problem does not appear to have been resolved. It’s actually worse now :-(.

    Any news on what could cause the issue or whether a bug fix version is expected soon?

    Beta 2 should not have fixed anything except a flashing timeout issue that would happen on some systems. It also added support for DNxHD on the Hyperdeck Shuttle 2. It didn’t change anything else that I was aware of. So i’d be surprised to find the issue worse.

    Joshua,

    so when can we expect a fix for the audio/video sync issue? Right now the product is totally unusable in DNxHD mode.

    We need the fix as soon as possible.

    Hi Joshua,

    I emailed you as requested by have heard nothing back so far. I was told by the customer support that there is currently no schedule for a fix for the 1080 30fps bug?

    Are you able to provide an estimate?
