Traditional controls in a modern design

The HyperDeck Extreme features an innovative touchscreen interface with recorder controls and a large screen for viewing your recordings. Simply add a HyperDeck Extreme Control to transform it into a traditional broadcast recorder, complete with a large, uniquely tactile shuttle wheel! You can even rack-mount the controller and HyperDeck. The HyperDeck Extreme includes two storage bays, Quad 12G-SDI technology, analog connections for archiving, a USB-C port for recording to an external drive, and a front-panel speaker and headphone jack.

Ideal for live production, digital signage, and archiving,
the HyperDeck Extreme is highly versatile, making it perfect for live production. You can use it as a master recorder, clip player, or for recording independent feeds. Analog inputs allow you to record from tapes, so you can adapt your older programs for streaming platforms or editing. Displaying your content in 4K is easy with the HyperDeck Extreme, as it supports 10G Ethernet and offers a very simple remote control protocol. You can even use it in the field, as it’s equipped with HDMI, SDI, and analog inputs, as well as built-in scopes and 3D LUTs. The scopes will be invaluable for ensuring broadcast standards compliance before streaming and broadcasting.
Convert your older programs for streaming
: HyperDeck Extreme Control lets you connect older recorders, set an in and out point, and then edit. Simply connect the HyperDeck Extreme 4K and HyperDeck Extreme Control to each recorder for continuous archiving with a single operator. You can even work with multiple formats using Teranex Express to convert SD tapes to HD in a single step. Control a wide range of recorders, including Digital Betacam, legacy 1-inch C-format tape recorders, and Betacam SP.
Record and play back in full 4K resolution.
The latest 12G-SDI Quad Link technology is included, allowing you to record and play back your content in full 4K resolution. The HyperDeck Extreme supports H.265 for high-resolution 4K recording and playback, enabling you to record and play back 4K content on standard CFast cards. This makes the HyperDeck Extreme 4K ideal for connecting to the latest generation of 4K TVs and projectors. It also pairs perfectly with ATEM switchers.
A large, bright,
touchscreen LCD gives you incredible control. It displays play, stop, and record buttons, as well as a mini timeline for navigating your recordings. You can even swipe the screen to search for frames individually. At the top of the screen, you’ll find information on timecode, video standard, recording media status, and VU meters. You can activate scopes, as well as focus and exposure assist, by touching the screen. The LCD menus also offer numerous other settings and controls. In addition, you can load and save 3D LUTs. You have dedicated buttons for transport control, activating the 3D LUT, and remote control. For traditional broadcast controls, simply add an HyperDeck Extreme Control.

Traditional Broadcast Recorder Controls:
The HyperDeck Extreme Control expands the capabilities of your HyperDeck Extreme by adding traditional broadcast recorder controls. This gives you a familiar, traditional broadcast recorder design. You can control up to eight recorders via RS-422 control. You can even rack-mount it with the HyperDeck Extreme to create a single « broadcast recorder. » Because it uses the RS-422 standard, you can control legacy broadcast recorders and edit using in and out points, which is ideal for archiving your content. You can even edit footage with multiple frame rates. The traditional controls were designed in-house by Blackmagic Design to ensure superior ergonomics and tactile feedback.
Two CFast Slots for Endless Recording:
The CFast card slots allow you to record to widely available flash memory cards. H.265 files are small enough to be stored on standard CFast cards. Furthermore, since the device includes two CFast card slots, you can swap full cards, even during recording, and thus record indefinitely. CFast cards are particularly well-suited to the broadcast industry because they are small, fast, and affordable. You can even use a Blackmagic MultiDock 10G for SSD compatibility. In H.265, it is possible to record 498 minutes in 8Kp60 on a 1TB card, 1059 minutes in Ultra HD 2160p60, and 2354 minutes in 1080p59.94 on a 1TB card.
Record directly to external USB-C drives
. To record to other types of media, you can use the USB-C expansion port to connect external flash drives. USB-C flash drives offer immense storage capacities, as they have no size limit. Furthermore, since you can record to the same drive you use for editing, you don’t waste time copying files before post-production. Flash drives are so fast that you can record formats with data rates too high for CFast cards, such as real-time ProRes 4K. By adding the Blackmagic MultiDock 10G, you can use SSDs for compatibility with other HyperDeck models. Finally, you can manage external drives from the touchscreen.
Optional caching to prevent dropped frames: Your storage media might fill up before it’s replaced, or your card might be too slow. This can lead to dropped frames. To avoid this problem, you can install a PCIe flash drive in the HyperDeck Extreme 8K to cache your recordings. This eliminates dropped frame issues with CFast media or external drives because the cache will automatically save the content that couldn’t be recorded. Even if a card is full, recording will continue to the cache until you switch media. The cache even allows you to record formats too fast for cards or external drives. A thermal pad is included for installing standard PCIe flash drives.
Ultra-fast network connectivity is provided by the 10G Ethernet port.
The Blackmagic HyperDeck Extreme 4K HDR is ideal for digital signage because it includes a super-fast 10G Ethernet port that allows for remote media . is even faster than transferring from a CFast card! All models use a simple text-based protocol, and you can use Telnet to test commands. Simply connect to the HyperDeck and type « Play » for playback or « Record » for recording. It’s that easy! To load media files remotely, you can use FTP or even FTP client software. When Ethernet and FTP are used with a large disk array, the HyperDeck Extreme becomes a very efficient broadcast server for media management and playback.
