HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro from Blackmagic Design. The HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro features a compact design that allows you to run multiple I/O and connect to a computer or ATEM switch to control media playback using its 7" touchscreen display, large search dial, and buttons. It also features a built-in teleprompter for using text files without requiring third-party software.

The Shuttle 4K Pro runs Blackmagic OS, supports ProRes and DNx file formats, and is compatible with a wide range of editing software such as Premiere Pro, Avid, and DaVinci Resolve. It can also be used to stream H.264/265 video to streaming services such as YouTube or Vimeo. Record video using its SD card slot, M.2 PCIe card slot, or USB-C output to an optional drive or connect to the Blackmagic MultiDock to record to multiple SSDs. The Ethernet port provides external control and file transfers over a network.

Mastering Recorder

With support for H.264/265, ProRes, and DNx files, you can record true broadcast masters. You can even select between PCM or AAC audio. That's great for higher-quality mastering when used with ATEM Mini switchers. You get everything needed to send shows to broadcasters and for uploading to streaming services like YouTube.

Media Player

The large search dial lets you visually browse your clip library; you can then use the previous clip button to cue the start of the clip. After playing, you can use the clip button to stop the playback at the end of the clip. ATEM switchers can even remote control HyperDeck Shuttle via Ethernet.

Built-In 7" Touchscreen

A 7" touch interface allows for interactive control, built-in monitoring, and menu adjustment. Buttons for playback, pause, and recording functions, as well as a mini playback timeline for clip scrubbing, make for an intuitive control experience. A heads-up display (HUD) overlays timecode, media status, and audio meter information. Enable full broadcast scopes like focus assist and RGB exposure histogram. Settings can be changed via the on-screen menus, and you can save and load 3D LUTs.

Traditional Broadcast Deck Controls

HyperDeck Shuttle includes a control panel that's very fast to use, and the buttons are similar to a traditional broadcast deck. Simply press the record button, and you will instantly start recording the video input to a file. The large machined metal search dial supports shuttle, jog, and scroll so you can find clips fast. Plus, all deck control functions can be triggered remotely using the Ethernet network. Use the intuitive touchscreen interface to toggle different visual overlays and scrub media files to find what you need.

Record to Internal or External Network Storage

HyperDeck Shuttle has been designed to record directly to network storage, keeping all your media in a central place. Plus, the HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro model has space for M.2 flash storage cards, so the network storage is built in. This means any editing system can just log into the HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro and access all the media in one location. DaVinci Resolve can also edit media while it's being recorded.

Supports SD Cards and USB-C Disks

The HyperDeck Shuttle supports recording to standard SD Cards and UHS-II Cards. You can also record on external USB disks, which can be instantly unplugged and transported. When using H.264, the files are so incredibly small you get very long recordings even on smaller, low-cost cards. This means you can record up to 157 hours of H.264 in 1080p59.94 on a 1 TB card for over 6 days of recorded content. The USB-C expansion port lets you plug in an external flash disk for recording. You can even add a Blackmagic MultiDock 10G that has four separate SSD media slots, so you can add compatibility with SSD media. There are also options for managing external disks in the settings menu.

Popular ProRes, DNx, and H.264/265 Files

HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro supports the most popular codecs in use today, including broadcast-quality DNx and ProRes file formats. You also get space-saving H.264/265 when recording in NTSC, PAL, 720p, 1080p, or 1080i interlaced formats. That means you get tight 60:1 to 285:1 compression ratios for very small files at full broadcast quality. Plus, you can choose uncompressed PCM or even AAC audio when uploading files to YouTube. HyperDeck Shuttle supports both ExFAT on Windows and HFS+ on Mac disk formats, allowing disks to be mounted and read on both platforms. You also get support for recording long events into a single video file.

Video and Control Connections

The HDMI input can be connected to cameras and switchers such as ATEM Mini, and the HDMI output can be connected to monitors for presentations or ATEM Mini switchers as a long-form media player. Additional connectivity includes an SDI monitor output, reference I/O ports, 4K HDMI I/O ports, an SDI input, two SDI outputs, an SDI loop output, a remote I/O interface, and a headphone jack for monitoring. The rear panel also includes a 12 VDC power input, and a power supply is included. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection allows control and remote file uploads.

Multi-Rate SDI Connections

The HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro model includes the latest 12G-SDI video connections. 12G-SDI is multi-rate, so a single connection can connect to SD, HD, and UHD equipment using up to DCI 4K resolutions. There is also support for both level A and level B when working in 3G-SDI rates.

HDMI Compatibility with ATEM Mini Switchers

With built-in HDMI input and output, you can connect to consumer cameras, monitors, televisions, video projectors, and even ATEM Mini switchers. The HDMI connections will automatically switch video standards to handle both SD and UHD 4K equipment.

10G Ethernet Network

With its 10G Ethernet connectivity, the HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro can access built-in HyperDeck M.2 storage over your network. You can also transfer files via an easy-to-use HTTP/S web interface or an FTP client. For broadcast automation control, HyperDeck uses the Ethernet connection and a simple text-based protocol, which you can test with a simple telnet client. A REST protocol is also supported for custom automation, and it's fully documented in the manual. This means HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro is a fully self-contained broadcast server for ingest, media management, and play-out.

USB Webcam Output

For compatibility with a wide range of computer software, HyperDeck Shuttle features webcam support via the USB connection. If you're not recording to an external USB disk, you can plug the HyperDeck USB connection directly into a computer to get live video into any video software. The computer is tricked into thinking the HyperDeck is a common webcam, but it's really a broadcast-quality video source. This guarantees full compatibility with any video software and in full-resolution 1080 HD quality. HyperDeck Shuttle's USB webcam feature works with any video software, including Zoom and Microsoft Teams, or streams live with Open Broadcaster, XSplit Broadcaster, and more.

Advanced HDR Support

Work with the latest HDR workflows thanks to the HyperDeck Shuttle's HDR screen and wide color gamut. The built-in scopes automatically transition to HDR scopes when working with HDR formats. HDR sources input into the SDI and HDMI ports will automatically be detected. Static metadata PQ and HLG formats are handled according to the ST2084 standard. The bright LCD has a wider color gamut and can handle both Rec. 2020 and Rec. 709 color spaces. The built-in HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro LCD color gamut can even handle 100% of the DCI‑P3 format.
