Option to Aja KiPro

[Gary Adcock]

The KiPro Mini is a lower cost solution and will be able to record DNXHD soon.

The Hyper shuttle is using uncompressed captures- that will make your edit more difficult.

Hey,

try the “ATOMOS – Ninja”(HDMI) or the “ATOMOS – Samurai” (SDI).
I have the Ninja and it works fine!
Only thing ist there is NO Pass-Trou of the HDMI signal.

Greetings

In the UK a company called ProAV lists the Hyperdeck Shuttle as in stock.
It’s so cheap and looks good but it depends on what you’re after as for example it’s very short on connectors – no analog audio or remote for instance.
As for the uncompressed only, yes that could be a bit of an issue, but I’d say only if you’re in a real hurry to post, as it’s simple enough to transcode to ProRes of whatever flavour overnight. You can then either keep the uncompressed as archive or just go ProRes HQ entirely and bin the original.
