Blackmagic HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR

Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Extreme 8K

The Blackmagic HyperDeck Extreme 8K model includes all the features of the 4K model, plus adds 8K 4320p60 recording and playback in H.265 and ProRes files. Includes scopes, touchscreen, user cache, and Quad Link 12G SDI. HyperDeck Extreme features the trusted reliability of HyperDeck combined with innovations such as space-saving H.265 files, optional internal cache, 3D LUTs, and HDR support. With the ability to record up to native 8K in H.265, you get reduced storage costs and amazing image quality.

The large touch screen ensures a perfect view of your recording as well as control over overall deck settings. You can then add HyperDeck Extreme Control to transform it into a traditional broadcast deck. This means HyperDeck Extreme is the perfect solution for the next generation of broadcast, live production, and digital signage.

Record and Playback Full Resolution 8K

The HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR model has Quad Link 12G SDI, so it’s possible to record and playback in full resolution 8K for amazing quality. 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 Ultra HD using the single-link 12G SDI connection. That’s perfect for connecting to the latest 8K televisions and projectors. Plus, it’s also the perfect solution when using ATEM switchers. With 8K broadcasting already happening now, you’re ready for an 8K future.

Dual CFast Media for Non-Stop Recording

CFast media support allows you to record commonly available flash memory cards. The H.265 files are small enough to allow long recordings on standard CFast cards. Plus, there are 2 CFast card slots, so you can swap out any full cards even during recording, allowing infinite-length recording. CFast cards are perfect for broadcasts because they are small, high-speed, and affordable. You can even use a Blackmagic MultiDock 10G to add SSD compatibility. With H.265, you can record up to 1,398 minutes at 8Kp60 on a 1 TB card, 3,530 minutes in 2160p60 Ultra HD, and 9,446 minutes at 1080p59.94 on a 1 TB card. That’s over 23 hours in 8K and over 6 days in HD.

Latest MultiRate 12G-SDI for SD, HD, Ultra HD, and Native 8K

The SDI and HDMI connections are multi-rate, so they handle SD, HD, Ultra HD, and 8K. SD formats include NTSC and PAL. 720p HD standards include 720p50 and 59.94p. 1080i HD interlaced formats include 1080i50 and 59.94. 1080p HD formats include 1080p23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60p. You can even do 1080 PsF formats. Ultra HD is supported up to 2160p59.94. 2K and 4K DCI rates are available up to 25p. The HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR model adds 8K standards such as 4320p23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94, and 60p. All models support level A and level B at 3G SDI rates.

Standard H.265 and ProRes Files for Wide Compatibility

8K has 4 times as many pixels as Ultra HD, so HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR takes advantage of H.265 files for recording in 8K, so file sizes are smaller, and the 8K files are easy to use. H.265 files are extremely small and range from 60:1 to 285:1 compression ratios, which means much lower file sizes. Plus, H.265 is now supported on all major operating systems. HyperDeck Extreme 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, or Final Cut Pro.

Automate Editing Between Tape and HyperDeck

The built-in editor allows the deck to be edited. Operating the same way as traditional decks, the controller can operate both the HyperDeck recorder and the legacy broadcast deck all from the same front panel. This allows editing of old videotapes simply by selecting the player button, entering in and out points on the tape, selecting the recorder, and pressing edit. The HyperDeck Extreme Control will now cue and play the broadcast deck while recording on the HyperDeck. Often streaming services need 1080p24 masters. That’s as easy as it’s possible to add an inline Teranex Express converter to deinterlace, upconvert, aspect ratio convert, and remove pulldown while editing.
