Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR

• HyperDeck Extreme is suitable for live production as a master recorder, clip player, and for recording ISO cameras. The analog inputs allow you to record from old video tapes, so legacy programming can be used on the latest streaming services or for use in editing. Digital signage in 8K is easy with HyperDeck Extreme as it has 10G Ethernet for fast media uploads, plus it features a simple remote control protocol. You can even use it as a field recorder as it includes HDMI, SDI, and analog inputs with built-in scopes and 3D LUTs. The scopes also help you QA masters to ensure compliance with broadcast standards before streaming and broadcast.
• As streaming services have become common, preserving cultural diversity through maintaining localized content is increasingly important. The solution is to get each country's legacy programs onto streaming services at an affordable cost. HyperDeck Extreme Control lets you connect to legacy broadcast decks, set an in and an out point, then edit. Combining the HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR with the optional HyperDeck Extreme Control, and adding the two to each legacy deck, allows for constant archiving by just one operator. It's even possible to edit across formats by using the optional Blackmagic Teranex Express to convert tapes from SD to HD in one step. You can control a wide range of decks, including Digital Betacam, 1" C format, and Betacam SP.
• Quad Link 12G-SDI allows recording and playback in full resolution 8K. The SDI connections are multi-rate, so you can use Quad Link 12G-SDI to get compatibility with other 8K products, or switch to SD, HD, or UHD using the single link 12G-SDI connection. To allow regular CFast cards to be recorded at high-resolution 8K, HyperDeck Extreme uses modern H.265 files for 8K recording and playback. This means HyperDeck Extreme 8K can be connected to the latest 8K televisions and projectors. It also works well with ATEM switchers.
• The touchscreen display provides dedicated buttons for play, stop, and record, and has a mini timeline for scrolling through your recordings. You can even image swipe to jog. The LCD includes a heads-up display of timecode, video standard, media status, and audio meters. Scopes, focus, and exposure assist can also be pulled up. Additionally, you can load and save 3D LUTs. You also get direct buttons for transport control.
• CFast media support allows you to record to commonly available flash memory cards. The H.265 files are small enough to allow long recordings on standard CFast cards. With two CFast card slots, you can swap out any full cards even during recording, allowing non-stop recording.
• If recording to other media types is required, then the USB Type-C External Disk port lets you plug in an external flash disk for recording. USB Type-C flash disks provide many benefits, including the ability to record to the same disk you are using or editing. Plus, flash disks are fast and can record high data rate formats that are too big for CFast cards, such as real-time ProRes in 8K.
• Sometimes your media can fill before you change to a blank card; or, if the card is too slow, you can get dropped frames in your recording. To eliminate this problem, you can install an optional PCIe flash disk into the HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR to use as a record cache. This eliminates problems with CFast media or external disks, as the cache will automatically take over and record any content the media could not capture. Even if a card fills, recording will continue to the cache until it's swapped. The cache even lets you record formats that are too fast for the media card or external disk.
• HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR features a wide range of video and audio connections, including multi-rate Quad Link 12G-SDI for SD, HD, UHD, and 8K SDI devices. The 12G-SDI outputs support fill and key when playing RGBA 4:4:4:4 files. A multi-rate HDMI port is provided for consumer televisions and video projectors. For archiving work, HyperDeck also has both balanced analog and hi-fi audio, plus timecode connections. For monitoring, there's a down-converted monitor SDI output that includes overlays. The USB Type-C connection lets you plug in flash disks or disk arrays for recording. A 10G Ethernet is provided for high-speed upload using FTP protocols.
• You'll be ready for the latest HDR workflows with support for the latest HDR standards and a bright screen with a wide color gamut. The built-in scopes change to HDR scopes when working in HDR formats. Files are tagged with the correct HDR information, then SDI and HDMI inputs will also automatically detect HDR video standards. Static metadata PQ and HLG formats are handled according to the ST2084 standard. The bright LCD has a wider color gamut, so it can handle both Rec. 2020 and Rec. 709 color spaces. The built-in HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR LCD color gamut can even handle 100% of the DCI-P3 format.
• HyperDeck Extreme features full internal waveform monitoring so you can ensure compliance to broadcast standards when used on high-end work. The waveform display provides a traditional luminance (brightness) levels view of your input or playback signal. The vectorscope display allows you to see the intensity of color at 100% SDI reference levels. You also get RGB and YUV parade displays which are ideal for color correction and checking for illegal levels. Histogram shows the distribution of white to black detail in your images and highlights or shadows clipping. The built-in scopes can be overlaid on live video or as a small picture-in-picture view at the top right of the scope.
• 8K has four times as many pixels as UHD, so HyperDeck Extreme 8K uses H.265 files for 8K recording to reduce costs and make working with 8K files easy. H.265 files are extremely small and have a range of 60:1 to 285:1 compression ratios. Plus, H.265 is now supported on all major operating systems. You can use H.265 for all 8K, UHD, or progressive HD formats. HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR even supports ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422, and ProRes 422 LT for recording and playback plus ProRes 4444 for playback to fill and key out. This means files will be compatible with software such as DaVinci Resolve, Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro X.
• HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR supports professional audio for modern broadcasters or archiving from older broadcast decks. When working in SDI formats, you can record 2, 4, 8, or 16 channels of audio in real time. For capturing legacy programming, there are four XLR analog audio inputs that let you record all four channels from Betacam SP decks. You can monitor using four on-screen audio meters with user-selectable VU or PPM ballistics. For consumer devices such as VHS, DVD, and set-top boxes, there are direct hi-fi audio inputs. The analog connections have also been designed to low-noise and low-distortion broadcast specifications.
• With 10G Ethernet, HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR is suitable for digital signage because remote uploads are extremely fast. The Ethernet uploads are much faster than CFast card transfer speeds. You can use Telnet to test control commands. Simply log into HyperDeck and then type "play" or "record", and it will execute the command. To upload media files remotely, you can use FTP or even use simple FTP client software. When the Ethernet protocol and FTP is used with large USB-C disk arrays, HyperDeck Extreme becomes a broadcast server for ingest, media management, and playout.
• HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR features wide protocol support so you can connect it directly to broadcast systems. It also supports extra commands for the Advanced Media Protocol for managing disk recorders. When designing RS-422 control solutions, you'll know you're connected to a HyperDeck Extreme 8K when you see the ID 0xF0E0 in 30/60p, 0xF1E0 in 25/50p, or 0xF2E0 in 24p. The full set of support remote commands are included in the instruction manual and available on the Blackmagic website.
• Aside from the abovementioned compatibility with the HyperDeck Extreme Control, MultiDock 10G, Teranex Express, and broadcast decks, the HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR also works as a great mastering recorder—or for clip playback and ISO reordering—with the Blackmagic ATEM Constellation 8K. For monitoring, the Teranex SDI to HDMI 8K allows for broadcast monitoring on a television and it also has monitor calibration, 3D LUTs, and on-screen scopes.
• The files from HyperDeck Extreme 8K are common so they are compatible with all operating systems and most video software. Media can be formatted using ExFAT or HFS+ so you can easily access the media on computers and access the files like regular disks.
• Multiple languages are fully supported. Support is included for English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, and Turkish. On startup, the HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR will display a menu for selecting a language. You can also change the language later. When a language is selected, the on-screen text overlays, all menus, and the overlays on the SDI monitoring output will change. The HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR makes it easier to work in international locations with international crews.
