Shuttle 2???

[Trevor Asquerthian]

Presumably you could download the trial version of Avid Media Composer and make QT refs with BM DNX media… good for 30 days

vlc might play it too

@Dan

Correct. And it is 1080i50.

Is there any hope for us early adopters being able to mail in there Shuttle 1’s for a chip upgrade? I’d happily pay for it though I’d prefer not to.

Hi
The Calibrated MXF Import will come out in the final version within a week so I will have to wait for the demo version 🙂

Just realized that the Shuttle converts HDMI to HD-SDi and HD-SDI to HDMI and is much cheaper than the standalone mini box converter from BM. And you would need two of them to be able to convert both ways.
Crazy.

if your not using avid media composer. your cheapest option is to download Davinci Resolve Lite, which can read the dnxhd mxf files. then you can convert them to a supported codec of your choice

I bought a shuttle from B&H the other day and it was the Shuttle 1. I’m sending it back Monday. I hope they are able to identify the shuttle 2 box and send me one…. I would have thought that bh had a high enough turn over they would have had the new one in stock.

Just an FYI for BMD and anyone who might be ordering soon.

[Bill Ravens]

you know, I think this is pretty crappy marketing strategy used by BMD. They release a crippled version, then within 2 months release a second version. And then they don’t identify which model it is? C’mon, that’s just plain wrong.They should, at the very least, offer a discount for trade-in to the later version.

[Rafael Metz]

And they do say:

“It is worth remembering that HyperDeck Shuttle 1 is still able to provide
the best possible recording quality with uncompressed video, and that this
is the purpose the device was designed for. It was never designed or sold to
have the ability to record compressed video.”

As usual: not false, but doesn´t cover the full story! Marketing talk…

My answer could be: ok, and why is the Hyperdeck Studio able to do it with an update and not the Shuttle? Shouldn’t it have been not designed to have that ability, too?
And, correct me, wasn´t there that latent “the shuttle will support other codecs in the future”???

Hi,

As mentioned earlier, HyperDeck Shuttle uses a different chipset to HyperDeck Studio as power consumption is important in a portable device. The bigger chipset in HyperDeck Studio means we can provide a firmware update to incorporate DNxHD support but we cannot do this for HyperDeck Shuttle without changing the hardware. If we could fit DNxHD into the older design, we would have done it.

I’m not complaining! Your prices have forced other other companies to compete! I have had a 98% up time with Blackmagic design gear…

I did have 4 power supplies for HyperDeck Studios die the other day…. kind of odd… I had 5 of them plugged into a power strip. I used them one night, then shut them down via a power strip. Turn the power strip on the next morning and 4 out of the five didn’t working. The one supply works on all of my HDS in what ever I plug it into…. but the other 4 don’t work in different outlets or different HDS…. crazy!

I need to get new ones from BMD…..

Besides that, I have been happy with the gear!
