Hi everyone, it's been a while.
I'm at the point where I'm thinking of giving the PC a rest for video capture. My old setup is wearing out, it's time to move on. So I'm considering finally making the jump to a PC-free Uncompressed solution via the Hyperdeck Shuttle 2. I've been on the fence about it due to cost and potential complications, but if it works it will be well worth it. So without further ado -
As anyone who is familiar with the device should know, it is Mac-centric. The SSD I would use therefore is a Blackmagic-certified Digistor preformatted in exFAT, which negates the need for 3rd party s/w for Win compatibility.
The issue however is the Hyperdeck Shuttle's fixed recording specs for SD, which are:
Uncompressed 10-bit UYVY 4:2:2 with 8 audio channels in MOV container (Rec 601).
These settings cannot be changed, and the files will be huge (over 100GB per hour). So for archiving, my question is what method should I use for efficiently converting to
HuffYUV 8-bit 2 channel AVI? Any issues I should be aware of?
Lastly, for anyone who has had experience with this device, are there any issues with capturing I should also be aware of (via HDMI)?
Thanks and hope to hear from you guys.
