- Review of the 2017 version of the HyperDeck Studio Mini from Blackmagic Design
Blackmagic Design's Recommended SD Cards - www.blackmagic...
Since this video was published BMD has released an updated version of the firmware that adds support for DNxHD/DNxHR video codecs, and MP4 as well.

HyperDeck Studio Mini - amzn.to/2linK16
HyperDeck Studio 12G - amzn.to/2lOoU85
HyperDeck Studio Pro - amzn.to/2mENpSL
HyperDeck Studio 2 - amzn.to/2mEKXLY
The SD Cards that I've had good luck with and would recommend:
For 1080p:
Lexar amzn.to/2j21220
SanDisk amzn.to/2j3KCpR
Ultra HD:
Sony amzn.to/2j2Yz7q
Lexar amzn.to/2kuMqbY
Angelbird amzn.to/2BL3qy6
The BMD website now shows what appears to be all the same DNxHR codec options as the full-size models. I like it.
One of my users discovered (the HARD way) that the unit won't Record if you try to format the other SD card. (But no warning or error indication) Fortunately, the live-streaming service was also archiving the video.
DNxHD/DNxHR were added shortly after this video was shot.
I hadn't run into the format/record issue. But I haven't ever had to format a card while recording either.
Great video Doug, and good points about the video stopping. That could be a costly situation to endure.
Just wondering, are you able to record to both SD card slot simultaneously for redundancy purposes? Blackmagic website sort of mention it but isn't very clear. Thanks!
Currently, no.
:(
Sir, Whether the SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB SDXC UHS-I Card (SDSDXXG-128G-GN4IN) is compatible for this Hyperdeck mini for HD recordings?...
I haven't tested that particular model, and it isn't really possible to know for sure without trying unless it's on Blackmagic Design's approved list (www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/faq/59013).
Hi Doug,
A very helpful and informative presentation. I have just taken delivery of my HyperDeck Mini today. I am please to report that Blackmagic have updated the list ProRes codec's and include the ones you mentioned were missing in your video plus others.
Yeah, BMD released the first firmware that added DNxHD and DNxHR as well as additional ProRes variants about two weeks after I published this video. I've since updated the description, but it didn't feel like it was worth it to re-shoot the entire thing.
Hi Doug,
I entirely agree with you. I've just run into a major issue with mine. It is no longer seeing the SDI video input so I will need to get a replacement given I've only had it for a few hours.
Make sure you're in Record mode. Press the Record button once to switch from playback to record mode.
Thanks for the advice Doug. I will give it a go.
Doug, you are the master. Well done.
Hey, thanks for the video. A great feature of these shuttledeck is the fact that you can use them as a videoplayer via ftp on the atem television studio pro hd (all-in-one), not rack and panel video mixer. The last one has only a videoplayer for stills, so a great disappointment. This deck should solve this, giving opportunities to play-out into macros, animated lower thirds and stuff. This a salesrep from bmd demonstrated me on ibc, but I do not find any further information or tutorial. Ftp was the key in all this. Thx.
Great video... Just ordered mine through your link as a 2nd back up recorder for filming live events
Thanks so much!
No problem... I appreciate your videos and knowledge... Do you know if I can go SDI and HDMI out of the hyperdeck mini at the same time? I was wanting to go out SDI into my teradek cube for streaming, and out hdmi into my atomos recorder for the backup recording of my program
Yes, both outputs are active simultaneously. That should work just fine.
Thanks again... Have a great night
I saw that BMD is stating that the "top model" Sandisk sd-memory card with 300 mb/sec is necessary. I tried the slower Sandisk Extreme PRO 95 mb/sec, and testet 8 recordings all tests lasted about 3 minutes. All the recordings was done without any sign of error and with steady red lights both on recorder-bottom and card - no flashing. When accessing the files afterwords, only the first 4 files was readable, the last 4 files showed but with only black and for some green screen. The recording mode was H.264 high, 1080p50. I am not saying that anything necessarily is wrong with the recorder (since 300 mb/sec card is the ones you should use according to BMD), but still it is scary that no fail is indicated while recording - and that fact that the first four files worked fine, but the last ones did not... New SD-card is in order... (expensive...). I see that others have problems with failed recordings, but I don´t see which card they are using.
Thank you so much. Very informative.
When the Aja Ki Pro recorders first came out they would stop recording on a dropped frame. I argued with their product manager 'til I was blue in the face, insisting that that is a terrible problem for live event recording. A year later, they included an option to continue recording even if there are dropped frames. The question is, would the dirt-cheap, Hyperdeck be capable of such an option?
I sure hope BMD will address this. It isn't just a problem with their lower-end models in the HyperDeck series... it happens on the top-end versions as well.
Why the significant color difference in the CZcams video and what we are seeing on your screen behind you? Shouldn't the color be the same in both places? (The table top, the wall behind you, and your shirt are very different colors.)
Different models of cameras which render colors differently.
Hey ! I received my exemplar of the Hyper Deck Studio Mini and found it was powered via a 12 volt adapter but not via the AC cord. Do I need to activate the ability to receive power via the AC wire somewhere in the menu or is it a factory defect? Thanks.
Sounds like a defect
@@djp_video Thanks !
I'm surprised their list doesn't at least have all the cards that are recommended for the Video Assist 4K. In classic Blackmagic fashion, the first VA firmware was incompatible with most cards, and they blamed the cards, but then the first firmware update fixed it. I think it's fine to just test a random card and if it records fine for 30m, I wouldn't worry about it.
Quentin Smith Indeed. It is very odd that similar products perform differently.
I did find in additional testing that a few cards I had tried but initially got the yellow warning light on did work once I reformatted the card. Their list is definitely not exhaustive.
Doug,
What's on the Ethernet? A web interface with transport controls like the AJA KiPro? There's no info in the manual. No screen shots anywhere.
There's no web interface. It has a TCP interface (that you can play around with using a telnet client), but it does require custom software to use effectively.
Great video!!! Very nice explained! Thank you
What is that control surface in the background that you're using to switch your ATEM with? Is it just a keyboard with macros?
It's the X-Keys, 80-key version (amzn.to/2n2WQM0) with the JustMacros software.
Love the X-Keys, hate JustMacros. It crashes on me all of the time and locks up the computer and has to be restarted constantly. I can't wait to have the time to create my own software.
I would pay as much as you want for that software... I can't stand JustMacros, but love my X-keys. Wish Blackmagic would program media players with hotkeys in their control software so I could toss JustMacros and program media slides into the x-keys easier.
Doug,
Have you encountered any recording playback issues? I have recorded video without issue, but when I edit in Adobe Premiere Pro CC and export the edited video matching source video it won't play the video. Have you run into this? Thank you.
The HyperDeck products are really picky about file playback. Not only do you have to get the codec right, and have to have the recording format set to match the format of the files, there are other settings that have to be set correctly too. I've also noticed that if the video format on the HyperDeck's input doesn't match the format of the files on a card that the files won't be available for playback.
The ProRes formats seem to be a bit more forgiving, but it's still tricky.
Someone knows why I can't get a signal from the cameras. Please help
I don’t understand what the difference between uktrastudio and HyperDeck. It seems that one has a USB “webcam” type of output ?
The Ultrastudio products are computer interfaces which let you capture into or play back video from your computer -- they don't have any record feature of their own. You can then use video capture software to record it, or use it like a webcam, or stream it using software like OBS. The HyperDecks are recorders that let you record video and/or play it back from SSDs or SD cards, depending on model, and don't act as interfaces for computers.
Doug Johnson Productions thanks for the clarification.
So if I was primarily interested in a playback decide for animated graphics and alpha channel lower thirds etc would I pick a hyperdeck ?
I have an Atem mini and want to inject motion graphics and broll but the Atem only does static image.
Graphics are usually done live on a computer, but most of the time for productions involving this level of equipment we'll just use an HDMI output on a computer instead of going through a video interface device like an Ultrastudio. Not many pieces of software for creating graphics support the Ultrastudio and the similar Decklink devices.
If you were to use the Hyperdeck, all of your graphics would have to be pre-rendered and the files be long enough to cover any potential use -- so if a graphic needed to be up on-screen for 30 seconds, the clip would need to be at least 30 seconds in length. And you'd have to be very careful about the video format used to render the graphics to make sure the Hyperdeck could play it. It'd be a very awkward way to go.
If you need alpha channel support, only a handful of the Ultrastudio and Decklink cards can do it, and even fewer pieces of software support it with those devices, as it requires the use of multiple synchronized outputs: one for the fill (graphics), and one for the key (alpha channel). The classic Ultrastudio 4K, 4K Mini, and 4K Extreme models, or DeckLink Duo or Quad, coupled with CasparCG software are the only combinations that come to mind. The Hyperdeck Studio Mini does support alpha keying if you use the ProRes 4:4:4:4 format.
Doug Johnson Productions thanks for the good explanation. It seems like I need to get a small windows computer and run CasparCG to insert my animated graphics. I will be using the Atem mini and using chroma or Luma keying.
Keep in mind that the ATEM Mini only has HDMI inputs, and the dual-output capability of the UltraStudio products is only SDI. Plus, you'll be using two inputs (one for fill, one for key). Since the ATEM Mini only has four inputs, you'd be using half of them just for the graphics, and have to use some SDI-to-HDMI converters to get the signal into it. A Television Studio HD, or even the older Television Studio, might make more sense.
Can you use the HyperDeck mini as a VTR controlled by atem software control?
Yes. It can be controlled from the ATEM software just like the other HyperDeck products.
Thanks Doug, very informative!
GREAT VIDEO! Vey informative. Can one of the SDI outputs be configured to show/monitor status of the hyperdeck (i.e. play, record, stop, etc) and timecode going into the unit? The standard "super" data displayed in a QC environment?
Unfortunately, no. BMD doesn't support that feature on any of their decks.
Hi Doug, I just saw that they announced H.264 support for the Hyperdeck mini. Could I use to directly transcode SDI signal from a camera to a H.264 file directly into the SD cards? I wanna skip using a computer for the transcoding process to save time, if it can be done real time it would be amazing.
Yes, that should work just fine. Encoding and recording is done in real time, just like the other formats it supports, and it has three different levels of compression to choose from. The one restriction they mentioned was that it doesn't support playback of files not created by the unit itself.
The firmware update is supposed to be out in the next few weeks.
Where can I find the list of SD cards they recommend ? Can you put names of ones you use that work well in comments as well. Thanks
Hi! Just ordered the BMD HyperDeck Studio Mini and i'm now looking for the best SD-card to buy. What do you guys recommend? Also, how much space is needed? Is 64GB enough or should i go for the 128GB. In other words, how much space does an hour of recording need? Regards
I'd suggest 128GB at a very minimum. Even the lowest bitrate codec (ProRes LT) takes up over 1 GB per minute at 1080p60. Ideally though for better quality you'd record in ProRes or DNxHD, at closer to 1.5-2 GB per minute for 1080p60.
The two cards I've had really good luck with (for 1080p) are from Lexar (amzn.to/2j21220) and SanDisk (amzn.to/2j3KCpR). For Ultra HD you need a faster card; something like amzn.to/2j2Yz7q, amzn.to/2kuMqbY, or amzn.to/2BL3qy6. (These cards are also the ones recommended by BMD.)
Whether the SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB SDXC UHS-I Card (SDSDXXG-128G-GN4IN) is compatible for this Hyperdeck mini for HD recordings?...
Are you able to record and play at the same time? Especially together with ATEM Television Studio HD?
No. It can either record or play, but not both at the same time.
hello doug, how does this bring sound? from SDI ?
can i connect this to any sdi source or HDMI source and record directly. or i need ATEM product to record from
thanks for your help.
Its only input is SDI, so you get both video and audio from SDI.
It works with any SDI source from SD up to Ultra HD at 30fps (SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI); it doesn't have to be an ATEM switcher.
Hi, i just put some footage in Apple ProRes 4444 to be able to work with alpha layers and the hyper mini deck it recognizes and plays the video but our ATEM blackmagic doesn´t read it. Do you have any solution? Thank you!!
Do you have Output B connected to the switcher, and are you using it as the key?
Doug Johnson Productions yes, we have it connected through ATEM 1 and we have both SDI outs, so how do we connect to the switcher?
Example:
HDSM Output A -> Switcher Input 5
HDSM Output B -> Switcher Input 6
Set the keyer to use Input 5 as the Fill, and Input 6 as the Key.
Doug Johnson Productions we have mini deck on 9 and 10 use luma key fill on 9 key on 10. Not working should the key happen automatically and what input should we choose on the program bus 9.
Can somebody tell me the differences between HyperDeck Studio Mini & UltraStudio HD Mini?
these two items can actually do capture & playback, right?
The HyperDeck Studio Mini records to SD cards, the UltraStudio is a capture device that lets you record on a computer.
Tq kind sir. Much appreciated
Out of interest, what situations outside of displaying to multiple screen arrays would you want 2+ recorders? Is it just for redundancy?
Redundancy is a great reason. But recording isolated feeds from each individual camera as well. Or feeds from computers. Or using them for playback of pre-recorded segments (or tape delay). I also usually also record a copy of one of the multiview feeds along with intercom audio so the director can review his performance after the fact.
Doug or to anyone who can answer this. I am looking in to live streaming / live multi cam production. Currently looking at what equipment I would need for a full set up have been looking at BM equipment. One thing I can;t work out in general is can I do this wirelessly to the cameras? Is it possible to use a terradeck and connect that to the ATEM inputs to show all cameras feeds wirelessly?
Wireless HD video is tricky. And expensive. The cheapest wireless option I've seen worthy of possible consideration is the IDX CW-1 (HDMI) or IDX CW-3 (SDI). (I have a CW-3 but don't use it very often.) They're pretty finicky, and you can really only use one at a time. And if you're using BMD or Sony cameras, you won't be able to do 1080p60 or 1080p50, as these "affordable" wireless systems don't support 3G-SDI Level B.
Stepping up from there you can go to the Ghost Eye products from Cinegears, but even then you can usually only run two at a time and again I was never able to get them to work at 1080p60. I also did not have a good experience with their technical support crew trying to get things to work. (They kept insisting over and over that their products would work with my camera, and had me send the product to them at my expense for a firmware upgrade, which still did not work. And getting them to accept the return was painful.)
Both of the above products have trouble reconnecting whenever there are signal dropouts. In both cases if the signal is lost at the receiver reconnect times can be up to a minute, or reconnecting may require power cycling the receiver. In the end I've decided it generally isn't worth the hassle in this segment of the market. If you need reliability you've got to step up market considerably.
Above that level you get to the Teradek Bolt products. I personally haven't used them, but I have been on movie sets where they were used and they worked well enough. They claim you can get up to 11 systems to run simultaneously, but, again, I haven't tested that. I also can't tell if they'd work with Sony or BMD cameras at 1080p60; the information on their website is incomplete.
I know that's not the answer you were hoping for, but that's about as good as I can do for you. Wireless isn't an area where I have much expertise.
Can you record each individual video Input (iso) or can you only record your program feed?
It records whatever video source you connect. So if you connect the Program feed, that's what it will record. If you have multiple recorders and connect each of your cameras to a separate HyperDeck you can record each source individually.
Thanks, great review!
Hi, Doug, I have a small setup, Atem Hd, Web Presenter and the HyperDeck Studio Mini. What is the best way to hookup these 3 Blackmagic products. Thanks
I’d probably connect the PGM output of the switcher to the Web Presenter, and the Loop output of the WP to the input of the HyperDeck.
@@djp_video thank you and keep up the good work.
can you do facebook live on Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio Mini?
I just had a thought. The new WebPresenter when used with the display has resync and essentially turns the device into a 2 channel clean switch. I wonder if because of the resync the program out would stay active, and provide a work around for your complaint about loosing a feed? What about the feed from an aux out on an ATEM? Does it also stop? Or a decimator scaler should do the same thing since it has the no signal overlay right (granted only 3g)?
One would think this problem could be solved on the software side by recording a blank frame every cycle until the feed comes back into sync. Have you brought it to their attention/submitted a feature request?
The loss of feed pretty much only occurs on isolated camera feeds. I've never seen that happen on a program or aux out. But since I typically run 6+ cameras, that would be another $3000 investment and two additional rack spaces just to alleviate a software issue that BMD could fix very easily. And we don't even know that the WebPresenter works that way.
doubledeej Indeed. and I agree it is something they should fix. One may also be able to write a script / program that interfaces with the recorder's api. Monitor for the dropouts and restart the recording automatically when it comes back online. Assuming that information is available over the api. At the very least I'm sure the record status is, and could try to restart at an interval.
I found another video talking about the WebPresenter, and it indeed does drop the output when its input is lost.
czcams.com/video/5Pm678SEcqc/video.htmlm41s
That would probably work. Though it is kind of sad that as of right now we have to resort to such a thing.
can I record with an external usb disk?
Not on this version of the HyperDeck. But the newest versions released a couple months ago all support recording to USB-C drives.
I have an opportunity to buy a 12G for $900, should i grab it or go for a second hyperdeck mini?
That depends on your needs. If you need to record 12G or Raw, the 12G version is your only option. If you want the extra controls offered by having extra buttons, the 12G is the way to go. If media cost is an issue, the recommended models of SSDs are a bit cheaper than the recommended SD cards. But if space in your rack is of primary concern, get the Mini.
I am wondering if there is any hope for 12G update for this product or is it simply too much for SD cards to handle.
There are SD cards out there that could handle it. They're expensive, but they exist.
Great video! please inquire, this recorder allows you to record analog video from a medical equipment camera that has video output RCA type? And if so how could the audio be stored? Thank you very much for your comments
The only type of signal it accepts is SDI. So you'd need a converter like one of these:
Blackmagic Design Analog to SDI Converter: amzn.to/2qUnZE2
Wiistar Composite to SDI converter: amzn.to/2qTDGgC (have not used this one, but this wouldn't be my first choice)
aCompatible CVBS to SDI COnverter: amzn.to/2qTxTaT (another I have not used)
I own and have used the first one of these, and it works very well.
I understand, thank you very much, please excuse an additional inquiry. Can you make several pauses to record and get a single video? This is because recording a surgery is required and the staff usually makes several pauses in recording, but it is required to deliver a single video to the client.
No. There is no way to pause. You can stop, then start a new recording, but it will be a separate file. Creating a single file would require merging the files in some way on a computer.
Does the Power Ethernet POE+ Works with the Mac Ethernet slot for power ? Is the thernet Cable a special one?
PoE and PoE+ deliver power to devices from Ethernet switches, but both devices must be designed to support the technology. So your switch has to support PoE, and your devices have to be plugged into a PoE port on that switch. The connected device also has to support PoE, which is not very common today. There are also limits on how much power can be delivered -- approximately 15W for PoE, and 25W for PoE+. Supported switches also have a limit on the total combined amount of power that can be delivered to all connected devices.
No computers that I am aware of support it, either as a powered device or a power sourcing device. Most computers' power requirements are higher than PoE can provide, and rarely computers would be connected directly to piece of PoE gear. PoE is most commonly used to remotely power network devices like VoIP phones, Wireless Access Points, security or web cameras, etc. so AC power doesn't have to be run to those devices' location. Blackmagic Design chose to add PoE+ to their Teranex Mini devices, as well as the HyperDeck Studio Mini. Support for PoE in AV equipment is usually quite rare.
It uses standard Ethernet cabling; any standard Ethernet cable should work fine.
@@djp_video Very cumbersome!! The inability to access the deck & sd cards via USB C as a biggest disappointment at all
Do you know how to make a playlist with both ProRes and .MP4 files?
I don't think it's possible. These recorders only show files matching the currently selected recording format, even in playback mode.
Hi.
1. how is the time code working? Free Run \ External ?
2. if you connect two or more devices via reference, can they also record in sync with the same time code, frame accurate ?
for Muti camera editing..
It always records the timecode that is embedded in the SDI video signal. So if the cameras connected are synchronized you'll be able to do frame-accurate synchronization in editing. It does not generate its own timecode, or have a dedicated timecode input.
If there is no time code on the SDI signal, is it possible to sync all of them using reference, and the clips will all start as 00:00:00:00 but will be synchronized to each other?
The reference signal is just used for synchronizing playback with a master sync signal. It isn't used while recording at all.
How can link 3 Mini Studio together and press record on one and they all engage?
As far as I know there isn't a way to do that with the built-in software.
If I were feeding it standard def for archival material, what codec would it record it in?
That's dependent on your editing workflow. Pick the codec that your video editor handles best.
@@djp_video But which codecs support standard def?
Your card probably doesn't work if it's not formated in Exfat. (you can do that yourself)
I discovered that right after I shot the video.
When you are going to do a video about the Ultra studio HD mini
I don't own any of those, and as of now I don't have any plans to get one. These days I only buy equipment that supports 4K, which eliminates that one from the running.
Is there anywhere you can see record times from 64GB cards?
I haven't seen a chart, but maybe this will help...
I record most everything in ProRes (normal, not the LT, Proxy or another variant). An hour of 1080p60 footage takes up about 120 GB. 4K would be twice that, 1080i or 1080p30 roughly half.
I haven't experimented with the other formats enough to have any kind of feel for their sizes.
AJA made an iPhone app called DataCalc, so you can enter your information to know the time or place you will need for recording
How are you getting audio to the deck if no audio is connected to it?
The audio comes in over SDI from the switcher. The microphone is connected directly to the main camera.
doubledeej I'm trying to use XLR connection. Can I use the analong to SDI box you recommend in another post?
If you have an analog video source, yes you can use it to provide audio. That box does require line-level audio, so if you're coming from a microphone you'd either need a pre-amplifier or a mixer to bring the signal up to line level. But from there you'd just plug the audio into the box's audio inputs.
the problem with the HyperDeck Studio Mini is that you do not see the name oor number of the clip you want to play
send a clip by ftp is even even useless
Erik Propixx This is true. But it is also true of the full-size HyperDeck units. And those don't even support FTP at all.
Big issue: if you want to use the Mini Studio with an Broadcast Panel are all functions working OK: except the Recording Button. If you press Record the Screen turns to Black for up to 3 seconds. This time no picture on screen. In a Livestream production is this a disaster! BM know this problem and up to now no solution. This is using the Crowd for Field Test. Very unhappy & not to recoment to buy up an update of the software like in a lot of other products.
The blackout is only a problem if you are running your signal through the recorder instead of running the output of your switcher in parallel to the recorder and encoder. (Placing something in the signal path like that isn't recommended.)
To clarify, though, it isn't the process of starting recording that takes a while, it's switching from playback mode to recording mode. If you're already in recording mode pressing the Record button does indeed start recording immediately with no delay.
thanks a lot for the answer - so far what you say its what happened except: we are coming in with the Cam Signal - out signal to the Studio 4K means not parallel! -we bought the Hyperdeck Mini for Livestream instant replay and here it not works like you confirm. There is nothing written on the BM Website
as well not in the Manual. As well the delay is only when we are using the Broadcast panel. Using the Rec Button at the Mini directly starts without an delay! This in our Point of view a clearly programming problem by BM!
In a normal "Hyperdeck" its working instantly as well from the Broadcast Panel so why not in the "Mini"? For us now: we have send the Mini back to the Company, we have to install during the next year another Live Studio but sure not a Blackmagic, to much updates. We, as an production Company want to work on production not on updates and solution where the BM Company not has done his work.
amigo, eu uso o atem televisions studio hd , e uso um pc com saida hdmi para fazer a função de play, e funciona muito bem. estou querendo comprar um Hyperdeck Mini, somente para gravação de saida, tenho um canal de tv . www.tvitaperuna.net
would be perfect if you can write in English or Espanol thanks a lot!
can you use the HDMI out into a vision mixer live with no lag?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Are you asking of there is any lag from the SDI input to the HDMI output?
i mean in a live situation can i run a 4k camera into the SDI and loop out of the HDMI into a vision switcher and run live to screen
will it create lag and digitization? basically is the HDMI just for playback?
The HDMI output does pass through an SDI source when it isn't in playback mode, but I haven't tested it to see how much of a lag there is on the pass-through, and I can't easily do that test now as my recorders are permanently mounted in my equipment rack with the HDMI outputs inaccessible. But if it's like the other HyperDeck products there will be little if any lag.
thanks, if you do end up getting a chance to test it can you reply your findings here please.
@doubledeej Will the ATEM switcher recognise The Hyperdeck Mini as a player ?
Yes, it does. It works just like the full-size recorders.
It won't record 1080 60fps?
It does. It records SD, HD up to 1080p60, and UHD up to 4K30.
doubledeej oh ok. Thanks , maybe I misheard when you said it didn't.
Neither the HyperDeck Shuttle nor entry-level HyperDeck Studio don't record 1080 at 60fps. That's probably what you heard.
Can the software be used in Mac?
Dalton Clements Which software? There is a Mac version of the software for doing firmware updates but there isn’t any kind of control or capture software.
Why don't you just use OBS?
Cost and reliability. When you look at the costs, having a computer (laptop) powerful enough to run OBS, plus a capture device, it's usually more money than a dedicated encoder.
In terms of reliability, most of the time when I've heard of people having trouble with live streaming, it's due to issues with a software encoder -- not being able to capture the video correctly, or audio and video going out of sync, or dropping the stream right in the middle.
In my years of experience, dedicated hardware is almost always better than a similar software solution.
Thanks for this video. Cleared many of my queries. How can I reach you via email?

How do you send energy via ethernet?
Atmósfera Co. With Power Over Ethernet (POE, but in this case POE+). The network switch I'm connected to supports POE+, so the HyperDeck Studio Mini and Teranex Mini devices can be powered directly by the switch.
doubledeej thanks so much!! Its a very good option! Im gonna search for one
Do you know if the webpresenter and the new atem switcher works with that poe?
The WebPresenter for sure does not (no Ethernet port), and I don't see any mention of PoE on the switcher's specifications.
it's weird how you have some public speaking mannerisms just like Grant Petty , you're not related?
Nope. My style has evolved quite a bit since this video too
first
