Hi James,
We have 2 small Merc Sprinter sat trucks / multi camera units, which we use for soccer coverage for clubs & broadcasters- in each we have 3 Hyperdeck Studio Pro's, we use old Evertz TC generators for T.C ( time of day), and go into the ext timecode in XLR. You can get these for peanuts on Ebay…….
We use a Hitech HT445 and a HT884s controller using the RS422 inputs. Cue is pretty damn instant, but yes, unless you tell the controller to stop at the end of the clip ( which the Hitech ones will) it will run on to the next recorded clip. Not a problem for us as it's quick replays- but we either mark an out point, or set the menu to 'stop at end of clip'
We also have 'emergency' control using the app on the iPad if we need to do anything without the controller- but i've only needed to use that for fun.
We have 2 older Ashvale BVW style slo-mo controllers which will also control the Hyperdecks, so it's pretty standard RS422 control. Slo-mo stuff is very 'juddery' under about 70% speed- almost looks like the wrong field preference- but that's no to much of a problem for us. £3k worth of Hyperdeck Studio pro's or an HD EVS………? We'll use the Hyperdecks for now thanks……..
Good luck
Dave
