    OHMYGAWD! I almost had a heart attack. Uncompressed BlackMagic 10bit recorder for $345Records on standard SSD - SDI & HDMI in- and outputs.
    With a compact and incredibly sturdy design, HyperDeck Shuttle is machined out of a solid block of aircraft grade aluminum! That means you get a design with the strength to go anywhere! Take your HyperDeck Shuttle into the field, on set, to live events, or even on your extreme sport shoots. With an internal battery, just recharge and go! The possibilities are virtually endless! There’s no need to haul around a computer because the lightweight HyperDeck Shuttle does it all, yet fits easily in your backpack! You can even add HyperDeck Shuttle to your tripod along with your camera! Simply plug in a 2.5” solid state disk into HyperDeck Shuttle and you get video recording with blazing fast speed, low power consumption and totally silent operation. Now you can eliminate complicated and expensive disk arrays. A single SSD can record uncompressed video effortlessly!

      Yup - saw this a few minutes ago... it also looks like it covers all flavours of HD signal over HD-SDI & HDMI (which is also 1.4) so maybe the first out of the block for Sony's TC over HDMI?

      The studio version (with LCD) looks very nice too.

      Doesn't seem to come with a drive, but still... This will sell about a bazillion units.

      PR indicated uncompressed QT compatible movies.

      Just wondering what the data storage requirements would be for 1080/24p.

      I wonder if it allows passthrough so you can use an HDMI field monitor at the same time.

      Well they just cornered the market with that announcement. That is fantastic.

      Found the answer by looking at the ports on the back.

      I'm buying one as soon as they release it.

      And on top of that, Davinci Resolve Lite for free!

      HDMI to HD-SDI passthrough would be sweet too!

      But I don't think they can do that without making it larger.

      And of course it doesn't come with a drive, neither does the Atomos. You buy your own drives and slide them in.

      That's the beauty of it.

      Go BlackMagic!

      This comes at a great time, though... could definitely be the new way to deliver material versus HD-CAM tapes. If you think about it, the drives will never go out of stock... and if you can record from a computer through to the HD-SDI then you've got an uncompressed master to send off to whatever country.

      BlackMagic... woot.

      Wow, that's a hell of a price point!

      I sincerely hope they are ready for the onslaught of buyers. This works for me since as an interim phase and regardless of what camera I buy in the next year it will be a very handy tool for the kit.

      Awesome...but...what if we want to record lightly compressed footage to make post easier? Will there be an option to record to a different codec possibly? Or uncompressed only all the time? Still very cool.

      I honestly think that this is a move to phasing out tape-based delivery and acquisition for good. I don't know how LONG it'll take, but BlackMagic is definitely a very well installed name in our industry for delivery and acquisition of material, and with something as solid as SSD competing with moving parts tapes? It's almost a no-brainer that the shift happens now.

      DOes anyone know if the HD-CAM shortage is still in effect?

      I think I read that it's going to be a month or two until production starts up again.

      Hmm, this is an awesome announcement. But, I wonder the cost differences when compared to other products when you consider the kind of space needed to hold 422 10-bit Uncompressed...even a minute of it. The copying speed is certainly attractive though, wow.

      Anybody know how many GBs 1 minute of 10-bit 422 1920x1080 UNC is? I just exported a 5 second clip and based on my math it's almost 8GB a minute. Granted, I would likely trans-code to something like Prores later since there's no way I could possibly edit these files (not on my system).

      128GB SATA III SSD would run you about $300 bucks or so. So for maybe $700 you can get 16 minutes of recording before it would require a dump. Am I getting anything wrong here?

      That's what I thought. And, that's to get production started up, then how long to get them stateside, etc.

      If there's been any time to ditch the moving parts, it's now. At 350 a pop, five of these would fit into a budget no problem at all, and any worries about the fallacies of drives should vanish with Solid State.

      ...I'm also biased: I can't stand laying to tape...

      What blackmagic is showing is how grossly overprice the video acquisition and processing market is. They should be designing camera...
