BlackMagic Design Hyperdeck Shuttle 2 3G Confusion….. created by BlackMagic!
I kept coming across posts and messages from people trying to get their Blackmagic Shuttle 2′s to work with the 3G ports on the F3. I decided to investigate this for myself as I am developing an exciting accessory for the Shuttle. I had been led to believe the Shuttle 2 had 3G HDSDi because of this, from the BMD press release on their web site:
But when you check out the tech specs, also on the BMD web site you will find this:
When I tested a shuttle 2 with the 3G Sdi on my F3 it didn’t recognise it at all. So my guess is that the press release is incorrect and misleading and the tech specs are correct. So be warned, don’t believe everything you read in a BMD press release. I feel sorry for anyone that purchased a Shuttle 2 expecting it to have 3G HDSDi and the usual signal and recording capabilities that it normally implies.

I think BM should issue refunds for those people caught out by this false publication.
I wanted to buy a hyper shuttle after I watched Alisters NAB Slog presentation. Can someone please point me in the right direction. I need to buy a recorder for my F3, cant afford a gemini or cinedeck, so will settle for 422 10bit. I edit on a windows system with premiere and after effects cs6, most 422 recorders Ive seen record to apple prores or MOV files which I believe are for apple systems. I have learnt the footage will be knocked down to 8bit when brought over to a windows system. Can someone please advice which recorder to buy so I can keep 10bit and edit on a windows system.
Thanks in advance
You should be OK if you record using DNxHD MXF’s.
