Hi guys,
I am trying to record with a Hyperdeck Shuttle 2 and a 960GB SSD, but it only seems to record in green and black when I use a video mixer upstream. Not the slightest hint of any other colour, at the output, during record or playback. It will record apparently faultlessly in full colour if coming directly from a camcorder. The SSD is formatted eXFat but I have tried HFS+ with exactly the same results.
A Blackmagic DeckLink card in a PC appears to record the same HDMI stream faultlessly, but is not exactly portable, so can't be used where I need to go.
The video sources (3 off) are all JVC camcorders, GZ-HD3 series, and all interfaces are HDMI, with good cables, and several alternatives have been tried for each cable. If I connect ONE camera to the Hyperdeck, even using both cables and a coupler, end to end, I get perfect colour every time. (But what would be the point, except for fault finding, as I could just record on the camcorder?)
If I insert the mixer, Roland V-4EX, it all goes green. But the Roland does correctly feed full colour to or to a TV or monitor, from the same output, if I don't connect the Hyperdeck.
I don't need to record at full HD as the Roland processes at less than that internally, 576p or 720p is adequate, but I have tried all available resolutions. Some don't work at all, as might be expected.
It seems that everything works except that the Hyperdeck and the Roland refuse to cooperate. They both have the latest firmware updates. The mixer mixes, and the recorder records, but not when they are together.
Please, does anyone have any constructive suggestions for what to try next?
Thanks in anticipation.
