Rec. 2020 Record on hyperdeck

PostMon Oct 22, 2018 1:38 pm

So is it possible to record Rec. 2020 using Hyperdeck Family products? If yes, then which model has got that option implemented?

Also is it possible to input LTC timecode through REF In on Hyperdeck Studio 12G?

In HyperDeck firmware 5.3 they added support for Rec. 2020 playback on the HyperDeck Studio 12G, but this does not seem to be supported for recording yet:

I assume that when recording it writes all files as Rec. 709 regardless of the input color space, but I've never actually tried feeding it a Rec. 2020 input source. None of the other HyperDeck models (other than the 12G) have any Rec. 2020 support.

The REF input on HyperDecks is only for a reference/genlock signal. It cannot be used for timecode input. The HyperDeck Studio Pro has a dedicated XLR connector for LTC timecode input.

The only way to get external timecode into the other HyperDeck models (those without a dedicated timecode input port) is to embed the timecode with the SDI input signal (as SMPTE RP 188 ancillary timecode).
