Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro
The Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro represents the top-of-the-line in Blackmagic's HyperDeck Studio series. 4K UHD capability offers all the resolution you need to work with virtually any material. The SDI Outputs have been upgraded to 12G-SDI supporting all formats up to 4K in ProRes, DNx, and H.264/5. You get 12G-SDI capability on one input with a pair of direct outs and a loop out plus an additional 3G-SDI out for monitoring. HDMI in/out is also included for connection to cameras, projectors, and TVs. Two SD card slots and a pair of SSD (Solid State Drive) slots provide truly unlimited hot-swap recording, with a USB-C out provided for recording directly to USB disks or arrays. The transport controls are modeled after a traditional deck transport, featuring standard record and directional controls plus a search dial with smooth electronic clutch control.
