Desktop based HyperDeck with large 7 LCD, ergonomic transport controls, built-in network storage, and recording in H.264, H.265, Apple ProRes and DNx file formats!

Blackmagic Design today announced HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro, a new live media player and master recorder. The design includes ergonomic physical controls so customers can search through lots of media and play clips. It also has a large built in 7-inch LCD touchscreen for monitoring and scopes. HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro features 12G-SDI and HDMI for recording to Apple ProRes, DNx, H.264 and H.265 files in all video standards up to 2160p. With 10G Ethernet and internal M.2 media, HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro is more than a HyperDeck as it's also a network storage device. That means it can share its media with large workflows of editors and colorists.

HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro is available now from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide from US$1,495.

The HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro will be demonstrated on the Blackmagic Design NAB 2025 booth #SL216.

HyperDeck Shuttle is perfectly designed for the desktop. This means the front panel can be operated with a single hand. The gentle angle allows the hand to rest on the search dial, and the control buttons are positioned under the fingertips. The large 7-inch HDR display has buttons for playback, pause and recording functions, as well as a mini playback timeline so customers can scroll through their clips.

A HUD , or heads-up display, is included that overlays important information such as timecode, media status and audio meters. Customers can also enable full broadcast scopes via the touch screen, and enable features such as focus assist and an RGB exposure histogram. The HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro's settings can also be changed through the on-screen menus. Plus, customers can load and save 3D LUTs.

HyperDeck Shuttle includes a control panel that's very fast to use. The buttons are similar to a traditional broadcast deck. Simply press the record button and customers instantly start recording the video input to a file. It will record in the file format that has been set in the record menu. There are other buttons for playback, to cue to the start of the clip and to move to the next clip. The large machined metal search dial supports shuttle, jog and scroll so customers can find clips fast. Plus all deck control functions can be triggered remotely using the Ethernet network.

HyperDeck Shuttle has been designed to record directly to network storage. That means customers don't need to mess around with media cards because they can store all their media in a central place. Plus HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro has space for M.2 flash storage cards, so the network storage is built in. This means any editing system can just log into the HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro and access all the media in one location. DaVinci Resolve can also edit media while it's being recorded. Managing the storage is easy, as customers just browse the network storage, then select the folder customers want to record into.

HyperDeck Shuttle supports the most popular codecs in use today. Customers get broadcast quality DNx and Apple ProRes file formats. However, customers also get space saving H.264/5 when recording in NTSC, PAL, 720p, 1080p, 1080i, 1080PsF and 2160p formats. Customers get tight 60:1 to 285:1 compression ratios for small files at full broadcast quality. Customers can choose uncompressed PCM or AAC audio for uploading files to YouTube. HyperDeck Shuttle supports both ExFAT on Windows and HFS+ on Mac disk formats, allowing disks to be mounted and read on both platforms. Customers also get support for recording long events into a single video file.

Despite its small size, the HyperDeck Shuttle models have a wide range of video and audio connections. The video input can be connected to cameras and switchers such as ATEM, and the video outputs can be connected to monitors for presentations or ATEM switchers as a long form media player. Imagine playing commercials, promos or music videos into ATEM switchers from HyperDeck Shuttle. The rear panel also includes a 12V DC power input and a power supply is included. The Ethernet connection allows control and remote file uploads. The USB-C expansion port can be used to record to large external disks or for software updates. The SD card slot supports both SD cards and UHS-II cards.

The advanced HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro includes the latest 12G-SDI and HDMI 4K video connections. Standard definition support includes NTSC and PAL. 720p HD standards include 720p50 and 59.94p. 1080i HD interlaced standards include 1080i50 and 1080i59.94. 1080p HD television standards include 1080p23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60p. HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro even handles 1080 PsF formats. 12G-SDI and HDMI 4K also handles Ultra HD in all television standards including 2160p23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94 and 60p. SDI also supports both level A and level B when working in 3G-SDI rates.

The powerful HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro has extremely fast 10G Ethernet. The network speeds are so fast that lots of editors and colorists can access the built-in HyperDeck M.2 storage over their network, all at the same time. Customers can also transfer files via an easy-to-use HTTP/S web interface or an FTP client. For broadcast automation control, HyperDeck uses the Ethernet connection and a simple text-based protocol, which customers can test with a simple Telnet client. A REST protocol is also supported for custom automation and it's fully documented in the manual. This means HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro is a fully self-contained broadcast server for ingest, media management and play out.

Customers will be prepared for the latest HDR workflows with the HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro's suppor
