New HyperDeck 2.5 Beta software available now.
Hi,
Thanks for all the feedback about the HyperDecks. Based on your feedback, we have just released the HyperDeck 2.5 Beta software and it is now available from our website.
This beta release adds RP188 timecode capture and playback support. This means that if you have RP188 available from your SDI source, HyperDeck will be able to embed the timecode into the captured clip. You can also playback the clip in HyperDeck and have the source timecode embedded on the SDI output.
We have also added the option to record DNxHD in a Quicktime wrapped MOV file. You can import the captured Quicktime DNxHD file into almost every Quicktime compatible application. Simply download the free Avid DNxHD Quicktime codec from their website.
Lastly, we have also added remote SDI trigger recording. If you have an an SDI camera that puts a record start/stop flag in the SDI stream, you can set HyperDeck to automatically start and stop recording when it sees this flag. Even if you have a camera that sends out an incompatible start/stop flag, we also have the option of triggering the HyperDeck to record when the device detects an incoming timecode increment.
You can download the software update from this URL:

We hope you like this update and please keep the feedback coming.

Kristian,
Blackmagic is really fast! Great to hear that you added the Quicktime wrapper to the DNxHD recording. That is something all users are waiting for.
And the timcode option is something that almost every multicam user is desperately waiting for.
It is really great to see that BMD keeps listening to the customers and reacts so fast.
Keep up this good work!

Does this include support for timecode via RS422? I’m pumped about the quicktime wrapper! Thanks for the update.

Hello Kristian,
some of the new features are supported on Hyperdeck Shuttle 1 too?

As of right now, no. These features are for the Hyperdeck Studio and Shuttle 2. We are looking at seeing if we can add the timecode to the Shuttle 1 in a future update.

Great timing. I’ve been looking around for ways to work with DNxHD in Final Cut Pro, but it looks like the codec in a Quicktime .mov wrapper should work. Can you confirm that this has been tested with Final Cut and runs well? Also, based on the DNxHD/QTime data rate, what kind of recording time are we looking at on a 256gig SSD?
Thanks! -
Would love it if ProRes was also supported.

YES! The ability to record to ProRes422, or 422HQ would be fantastic. Does anyone know the data rate on the DNxHD/QuickTime, and how much recording time that relates to on a 256Gig drive?
-
It is DNxHD220 and DNxHD185 for PAL users.
In a 1080i50 project I get around 330 minutes on a 512GB SSD so for a 256GB SSD it should be around 165 minutes for a 50i project.
It should be a little bit less if you are in a 60Hz area.

Thanks. That helps a lot.

Kristian,
This is great! Finally TC, and DNxHD in a QT wrapper is incredibly handy. We wish the MXF supported more audio channels, but it seems that QT DNxHD supports 16 which is awesome. Loving that.
Rec run trigger works fine, after manually initiating a record the first time. However the SDI rec trigger on the Sony F3 does not seem to function.
These are HUGE improvements, we’ll be using our devices a lot more now.
One lingering issue is that when we record 24PsF material, and play it back the signal switches to 24P instead of PsF, for many monitors this is fine, but on CRTs it is unusable. Would love to have a preference setting for this as on the decklink (i.e. use PsF instead of P).
Thanks so much,
Juan
