Hello,
I am interested in the BMD SSD Recorders. I own many of the BMD products (ATEM, H.264 Pro Recorder, almost every Mini Converter) and I love them ...
A thing I love less, is the lack of technical papers and FAQs compared to other companies. (I own Convergent Design nanoFlashs and they told me in advance about the bit rates, the containers the device supports, the compact flash cards they support, the recording capacities etc.)
The point is: I have to record sessions of approx 90 mins. and use 720p50 in a compressed way.
What I found so far is: The HyperDeck Studio supports 720p50 and DNxHD and ProRes. DNxHD@720p50 might be 175 mbitpersec. So I could end up with 128GB SSDs.
The question is:
Which bit rates are supported, which SSDs should I buy? Any on the market, the cheap ones too? What's the functionality of the product beyond the buttons visible and the general description on the web site? What can be achieved by configuration? (You might want to look at the papers available for the nanoflash which I use so far ...)
What are your experiences with the device please? How about quality (compared to CVD nanoFlash)? There a postings on this forum that sound a little bit strange to me. A recorder must be rock solid.
So: Should I buy a HyperDeck Studio?
Thank you in advance for your replies!
Dieter
P.s. By the way: Where are the replies of the BMD staff to many postings (reporting serious problems not only concerning USB-3) on their own forum please?
