Traditional Broadcast Deck Controls
The HyperDeck Extreme Control extends your HyperDeck Extreme to add traditional broadcast deck controls. It works like a traditional broadcast deck with a familiar layout. You can control up to 8 decks via industry standard RS‑422 control. You can even rack mount to the HyperDeck Extreme to create a single "broadcast deck" unit. Because it uses standard RS‑422, you can control old broadcast decks and perform edits using set in and out points. That's perfect for archiving work. Moreover, you can even edit between frame rates if standards converting between formats. Even the controls have been developed in-house by Blackmagic Design to ensure a premium feel with traditional styling.
Dual CFast Media
The CFast media support allows you to record to commonly available flash memory cards. The H.265 files are small enough to allow long recordings on standard CFast cards. There are 2x CFast card slots so you can swap out any full cards even during recording, allowing infinite length recording. CFast cards are ideal for broadcast because they are small, high speed and affordable. You can even use a Blackmagic MultiDock 10G to add SSD compatibility. With H.265, you can record 498 minutes at 8Kp60 on a 1 TB card, 1,059 minutes in 2160p60 Ultra HD and 2,354 minutes in 1080p59.94 on a 1 TB card. That’s over 8 hours in 8K and over 39 hours in HD.
Record Direct to External USB‑C Media Disks
If recording to other media types is required, then the USB‑C Expansion port lets you plug in an external flash disk for recording. USB‑C flash disks have a massive capacity as they don't suffer from any size constraint. Plus, it’s possible to record to the same disk you are using or editing, so you don't need to waste time copying files before starting post-production. Flash disks are so fast, they can record high data rate formats that are too big for CFast cards, such as real-time ProRes in 8K. In addition, the Blackmagic MultiDock 10G also makes it easy to use SSDs for compatibility with other HyperDeck models. You even get on-screen menus for managing external disks using the touch screen.
Optional Media Cache Eliminates Dropped Frames
Sometimes your media can fill before you change to a blank card, or if the card is too slow, then you can get dropped frames in your recording. To eliminate this problem, you can install a PCIe flash disk into HyperDeck Extreme 8K to use as a record cache. This eliminates problems with CFast media or external disks, as the cache will automatically take over and record any content the media could not capture. Even if a card fills, a recording will continue to the cache until it’s swapped. The cache even lets you record formats that are too fast for the media card or external disk. A Common PCIe flash disks are used and a thermal pad is included to allow user installation.
Quad Link 12G-SDI for 8K, HDMI and Legacy Analog
The HyperDeck Extreme 8K offers a wide range of video and audio connections including multi-rate Quad Link 12G-SDI for SD, HD, Ultra HD and 8K SDI devices. The 12G-SDI outputs support fill and key when playing RGBA 4:4:4:4 files. HDMI is included for consumer televisions and video projectors. For archiving work, HyperDeck also includes both balanced analog, HiFi audio plus timecode connections. For monitoring, there's even a down-converted monitor SDI output that includes overlays. The USB‑C connection lets you plug in flash disks or disk arrays for recording. The latest 10G Ethernet is included for high-speed upload using FTP protocols. HyperDeck even includes both AC and XLR 12V DC power connections.

The Files are tagged with the correct HDR information then SDI and HDMI inputs will also automatically detect HDR video standards. Static metadata PQ and HLG formats are handled according to the ST2084 standard. The bright LCD has a wider color gamut so can handle both Rec. 2020 and Rec. 709 colorspaces. The built-in HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR LCD color gamut can even handle 100% of the DCI‑P3 format.
Built-In Scopes Ensure Compliance to Broadcast Standards
The HyperDeck Extreme delivers full internal waveform monitoring, so you can ensure compliance to broadcast standards when used on high-end work. The waveform display provides a traditional luminance (brightness) levels view of your input or playback signal. The vectorscope display allows you to see the intensity of color at 100% SDI reference levels. You also get RGB and YUV parade displays which are ideal for color correction and checking for illegal levels. A histogram shows the distribution of white to black detail in your images and highlights or shadows clipping. The built-in scopes can be overlaid on live video, or as a small picture in picture view at the top right of the scope.
Standard H.265 and ProRes Files for Wide Compatibility
An 8K has 4 times as many pixels as Ultra HD, so HyperDeck Extreme 8K uses H.265 files for 8K recording to reduce costs and make working with 8K files easy. H.265 files are extremely small and range from 60:1 to 285:1 compression ratios which means much lower file sizes. The H.265 is now supported on all major operating systems. You can use H.265 for all 8K, Ultra HD or progressive HD formats. HyperDeck Extreme 8K even supports ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422, ProRes 422 LT for recording and playback plus ProRes 4444 for playback to fill and key out. This means files will be compatible with software such as DaVinci Resolve, Media Composer, Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro X.
Multi-Channel SDI and Analog Audio
The HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR features professional audio for modern broadcasters or archiving from older broadcast decks. When working in SDI formats, you can record 2, 4, 8 or 16 channels of audio in real time. For capturing legacy programming there are 4 XLR analog audio inputs that let you record all 4 channels from Betacam SP decks. You can monitor using 4 on-screen audio meters with user selectable VU or PPM ballistics. For consumer devices such as VHS, DVD and set-top boxes, there are also direct HiFi audio inputs. The HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR analog connections have been designed to low noise and low distortion broadcast specifications.
