Blackmagic makes some awesome and affordable stuff that are must have items in any amateur or professional's gear collection. The HyperDeck Shuttle 2 is another solid offering that delivers amazing performance in a very affordable package.
Snap in a supported SSD drive, plug in an HDMI source, and hit record. That's it. The drive will write an uncompressed HD quicktime file to the solid state drive that can be ingested into most popular editing packages on both the Mac and Windows. A quick configuration utility can set the device to record in ProRes 422 or an Avid format as well. In my testing I was able to work on the recorded ProRes file immediately in Final Cut Pro X with no conversion or transcoding necessary.
The device has both SDI and HDMI inputs and outputs. The outputs can either playback recorded content from the drive or mirror what's being recorded back out. That output can be run through another piece of hardware like the Blackmagic Design Intensity Extreme to allow for simultaneous live streaming.
I am using the HyperDeck with the equally amazing Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio Production Switcher to record product reviews and podcasts in my basement. It reduced the complexity of my recording process and helped me work with a better quality video file.
Compatible SSD drives like the SanDisk Extreme SSD 240 GB or the OCZ Vertex 3/4 Series are now around $200 making the cost of entry a lot less burdensome.
If you need a capable recording deck look no further. This is a great piece of hardware.
