Black Magic has already updated their website this morning with their new products at NAB. There is a lot of new stuff but the biggest one for me is they seem to be the first to announce an actual Thunderbolt capture device for the MBP.

It is a bit more expensive then I had hoped for a Thunderbolt capture device but still very exciting. I wonder why they havent adopted the format for their other devices but perhaps they want to see how well Thunderbolt takes off first.

I imagine this new portable 10 Bit 4:2:2 HyperDrive Shuttle solid state recorder with Hd/SDI & HDMI is the thing everyone will be talking about though.

$350 without a drive!

You bet. Amazing price points. Real game changers.

I really like the sound of this Hyperdeck Shuttle (their website must be taking a hammering as it took me 30 minutes to get this link to re-open!)

must-have for every F3 owner.

I think we also need SSD Hard drives worth 1000$

PS: where does this leave Atomos-AJA-Convergent Design and Sound Devices....

This would not allow uncompressed recording with 5D, right? IIRC, the 5D doesn't output full HD res while rolling?

Quote:

HyperDeck Shuttle gives you the quality of uncompressed recording direct to common low cost SSDs in the smallest possible size! HyperDeck Shuttle is small, affordable and battery powered so it’s perfect as a field recorder. HyperDeck Shuttle bypasses your camera’s compression and records from SDI and HDMI direct into the highest quality uncompressed video. SSDs are cheap and fast, so you can edit directly from the SSD media itself. Only SSDs eliminate time wasting file copying! Only $345

That Hyperdeck Shuttle really does look very interesting! Can't seem to find any info on size & weight on their website though. Would really like to know the physical size of it!

Michael Maier · April 11th, 2011, 05:10 PM

Yep, I just saw that too. Very impressive!
Actually with this recorder you don't even need a F3. A NEX-FS100 will do just fine since this recorder doesn't record 444, only 422 and the NEX-FS100 outputs 10bit 422 out of it's HDMI. So you get S35mm recorded to uncompressed for around 6.5K, which is less than the original price of the EX1. Insane!

Aaron Newsome · April 11th, 2011, 05:35 PM

WOW! This is really unbelievable at this price!!!

Nevin Styre · April 11th, 2011, 06:09 PM

well that slot is for a 2.5" SSD, that should give you an idea about the size.

Bryce Comer · April 11th, 2011, 06:21 PM

Yeah that's what i figured too, however, when you look at one of the photos with it next to a Sony (I assume EX3) camera, it looks rather large. Hopefully this is not a real indication as to how big it really is!

Jason Bodnar · April 11th, 2011, 08:16 PM

This price is amazing, it will only do 4:2:2 but 10-bit still. This could be a serious threat to the competition if it works as advertised even if you have to throw down 1k on an SSD you are less than 1.5k... not bad with a due date of next month lets see how the tests go. It is getting exciting.

Steve Kalle · April 11th, 2011, 08:56 PM

You still need a monitor for it as there is no interface on the device itself.

From my experience with SSDs (I have them in 4 computers), regular 'off-the-shelf' drives are not designed for constant writing. Their write performance suffers from constant writing as the drive fills up. I will find some benchmarks showing this - they formatted the drive and then began writing to it with a disk speed program (HDTach, HDTune or another one) and the graph shows the write speed greatly dropping.

Nick Hiltgen · April 11th, 2011, 10:09 PM

So what is the data rate for this? I just popped in 10bit rgb on the aja converter app and I got 717gb for 60 minutes of footage? Is this correct? That's a TON of data if so...

From Blackmagic US$ 350 announced yesterday.

No detail like 'cartridge' cost. Needs the studio player to playback like a VTR over RS-422.
