Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Shuttle HD

Mastering recorder and clip player

With ATEM Mini switchers it records broadcast masters in ProRes, H.264 or DNxHD with PCM or AAC audio, ready for broadcasters and for YouTube. As a player it rolls commercials, promos or music videos into live production, and ATEM switchers control it over Ethernet.

Broadcast recorder controls

Press the record button and the recorder starts recording the input to a file in the format set in the menu. The previous and next clip buttons cue the start of a clip for air, the Clip button stops playback at the end of the clip, and the dial works in jog, scroll and shuttle modes, with shuttle even allowing slow motion playback.

ProRes, DNxHD and H.264

The HD model records ProRes and DNxHD up to 1080p60 and space saving H.264 in NTSC, PAL, 720p, 1080p and true interlaced 1080i. A 1 TB card holds up to 157 hours of H.264 in 1080p59.94. Audio is stored as uncompressed PCM or AAC, and long events can be recorded into a single file.

Network control and file transfer

Over 1 Gb/s Ethernet the recorder can be controlled remotely with a simple text protocol and files can be uploaded via FTP. ATEM switchers control it over the network as a clip source, and besides external recording the USB-C port is used for configuration and updates.

Desktop recorder, clip player and teleprompter

HyperDeck Shuttle HD is a desktop recorder and player designed for comfortable one-handed operation. Traditional transport controls and a large metal search dial speed up recording, playback and clip searching, and the design fits nicely next to an ATEM Mini Extreme switcher on the desk.

It records to SD/UHS-II cards and external USB-C disks as H.264, ProRes and DNxHD files in SD, 720p, 1080i and 1080p up to 60 frames per second and in 2K DCI up to 30p. It supports uncompressed PCM or AAC audio and ExFAT or HFS+ media.

The HDMI input accepts a signal from a camera or switcher, and the HDMI output connects a monitor, projector or ATEM Mini. 1 Gb/s Ethernet allows remote control and file transfer, and besides external recording the USB-C port is also used for updates.

The built in teleprompter works with RTF and TXT files and keeps common text formatting. The search dial controls the scroll speed and the previous and next clip buttons move between prepared scripts, so no specialized teleprompter software is needed.

Blackmagic OS provides fast menus, media management, timecode and networking. The unit can work as a master recorder, a player for commercials and jingles or a compact ingest station for a small studio.
