New HyperDeck 2.5 Beta software available now.

Gregg, that seems to be the culprit. Removing the audio tracks through qt allows the DNxHD files to come on to premiere CS5. Now if I could just figure out a way to get the QT engine to recognize the data as already scaled to that it doesn’t scale it down to 7.5-90 thereby introducing a gamma shift. Then it might be useful in a broader way.

Are there best practices to using DNxHD i’m unfamiliar with?

After Effects color management interpretation allow me to get in the ballpark by specifying it as scaled 709, which while not dead on starts to approach the color. However premiere doesn’t seem to support color management.

Hi Paolo,

Yes, we will issue another quick beta update soon that adds the timecode and SDI trigger recording features to HyperDeck Shuttle 1.

Has anyone played an Avid created quicktime (175x) and had the audio play out the Hyperdeck’s HDMI? We’ve tested playing audio through the unit (HDMI in/out passthrough) and that works, and recorded onto the unit via HDMI and that audio plays back fine. But audio on an Avid-exported quicktime doesn’t. Big Endian (Avid’s default), Little Endian (converted using Compressor), assigning the channels in Quicktime to mono or discrete or left/right makes no difference. I’ve pasted the audio from the recorded clip into the exported clip… no good. The only difference I see in the ‘properties’ in quicktime is that the recorded clip has 16 channels (only first two have audio, as was fed to it) and the exported clip has only 2.

Otherwise, a very appealing little piece of gear that may be perfect for taking edits to screening rooms.
