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

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 camera includes two CFast card slots, you can swap full cards, even during recording, for virtually unlimited recording. 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’s 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. That’s over 8 hours of 8K video and over 39 hours in HD!

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 capacity, 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 8K. 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 image loss

Your storage media might be full 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 on 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 to a different medium. The cache even allows you to record formats that are too fast for cards or external drives. A thermal pad is included for installing standard PCIe flash drives.

HDMI, analog and advanced 12G-SDI Quad Link connectivity for 8K

The HyperDeck Extreme 8K features a wide range of video and audio connections, including multi-rate 12G-SDI Quad Link for SD, HD, Ultra HD, and 8K SDI devices. These 12G-SDI outputs support fill and key signals when playing back 4:4:4:4 RGBA files. HDMI is included for connecting to consumer TVs and video projectors. For archival work, the HyperDeck also offers balanced analog audio, HiFi, and timecode connections. It even includes a down-converted SDI output that displays information on-screen for monitoring. The USB-C connection allows you to connect flash drives or disc arrays for recording. The HyperDeck Extreme 8K also features a 10G Ethernet port for high-speed uploading using FTP protocols.

The HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR’s display gamut can even fully support the DCI-P3 format.

Standard H.265 and ProRes files for broad compatibility

8K offers the same number of pixels as Ultra HD. Therefore, the HyperDeck Extreme 8K uses H.265 files for 8K recording to reduce costs and simplify 8K workflows. H.265 files are extremely small and have compression ratios ranging from 60:1 to 285:1. Furthermore, they are supported by most operating systems. You can use H.265 for all 8K, Ultra HD, and progressive HD formats. The HyperDeck Extreme 8K also supports ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422, and ProRes 422 LT formats for recording and playback, and ProRes 4444 for fill and key outputs.
