Welcome
When we released the original Blackmagic HyperDeck disk recorders, our dream was to allow anyone
to record and play back the highest quality video using portable SSD storage. Now we are excited to
introduce HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR!
HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR is a professional video recording deck that records up to 8K video using
Apple ProRes and H.265 codecs. The unit features a bright and colorful HDR touchscreen that gives
you control via tap and swipe gestures plus displays scopes for professional SDR and HDR workflows.
You can record up to 8K H.265 on CFast cards or 8K ProRes files via external disks. If you install the
optional cache feature, media speed doesn't matter so you can record 8K video to any Cfast card or
even connect an external HDD dock via USB-C and record to an external hard drive!
A variety of video and audio sources can be connected including decks, monitors, routers and
cameras, or legacy broadcast decks via composite analog inputs, which is especially useful for archival
workflows converting from tape to file.
We also wanted to create a deck controller that works just like a traditional broadcast deck with a
search dial and familiar controls. With HyperDeck Extreme Control, you can control your HyperDeck
Extreme 8K HDR as well as broadcast decks such as Betacam SP, Digital Betacam decks and even 1
inch machines. HyperDeck Extreme Control can control up to 8 broadcast decks via industry standard
RS-422 connections and we believe you will find the experience intuitive and efficient!
