Hyperdeck Studio files for tape layoff

[Glenn Sakatch]

Are you saying you cant just place the quicktime created by the hyperdeck on a timeline and output to tape?

For the projects finished in house, yes, we have no problem running them out through a Kona 3/VTR Exchange or the Avid Hardware.

However occasionally we will act as a service bureau. Folks will bring drives prepared out of house and ask us to output their projects to tape. I want to give them the most expedient directions as to how to export to the drive so we can transfer to an SSD and pop it into the Hyperdeck and the Sony deck be able to see it (thereby saving much time for them and us).

You will need to install Desktop Video to have the Blackmagic uncompressed 10-bit codec installed on your machine. Grab the latest from here: https://www.blackmagic-design.com/support/ (just select any DeckLink product and skip the register product page)

Once installed, you should now have an assortment of Blackmagic sequence and export settings in FCP7. Export your sequence using the “Blackmagic HDTV 1080p 23.98 – 10-bit” setting which is the native HyperDeck uncompressed 4:2:2 10-bit QuickTime format.

Finding a minor problem here.

Has anyone else noticed when using Hyperdeck, it will only playback in 23.98p, even if it is recording 23.98psf?

As a result, tape decks don’t want to have anything to do with playback from it.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks, Justin.

I’m still testing and will try that.
