This new software update adds three additional Apple ProRes™ file formats, ProRes 422, ProRes 422 (LT) and ProRes (Proxy) which provides customers with significantly reduced video file sizes while preserving full frame 10-bit 4:2:2 quality. HyperDeck Studio customers can already record and playback in uncompressed, or compressed ProRes 422 (HQ) and DNxHD formats. HyperDeck 4.1 update is available now free of charge from the Blackmagic Design website. Read Blackmagic's press release in full after the breakīlackmagic Design Announces New Apple ProRes™ formats for HyperDeck Studio!īlackmagic Design today announced the immediate availability of HyperDeck 4.1 software which adds three new Apple ProRes™ file formats for the HyperDeck Studio broadcast recorder. This would make it ideal for compliance monitoring, and any situation where very long, continuous recording is needed. And with ProRes (Proxy) there's the possibility of a completely new class of usage because its date rate is so low that you can fit 24 hours or HD recording onto a 480GB SSD. What this means for Hyperdeck Studio users is that the can now fit far more material into the same amount of storage. The new software adds ProRes 422, ProRes 422 (LT) and PrRes (Proxy) formats.Īll of these are high quality, with ProRes (Proxy) being primarily intended for non-production use - although it does still look very good.

Up to now, the Hyperdeck Studio has been able to record in uncompressed and ProRes 422 (HQ), as well as DNxHD formats.

Instead, you can record anything from 10-bt uncompressed video to a variety of high-quality compressed codecs direct to SSDs, which can then be docked with a PC or Mac to allow immediate editing of the captured material. The Black Magic HyperDeck Studio range is today's tape recorder. Most of us still think of those big, open-reel computer tapes machines in 1960s Sci Fi films when we imagine life back in the days of strictly linear recording and playback (unless you had the joy of working with some of the early video tape recorders, which were the size of industrial refrigerators).Īll of which is by way of complete contrast to how it's done these days: by recording to solid state memory. There was something very organic and visceral about loading up the long stuff, and knowing that your material was somewhere on that spool. One of the best things about tape decks was - tape.
