DaVinci Resolve 18 is now available to provide new collaborative processes through cloud work dynamics. With the latest version of the system, project libraries are hosted on Blackmagic Cloud, so you can work on the same timeline simultaneously with other users from anywhere, while the new application Blackmagic Proxy Generator It automatically creates lower resolution files linked to the camera originals, in order to speed up editing dynamics.

Cloud Store, Cloud Store Mini y Cloud Pod

Blackmagic, following one of the main trends in the post-production market, has decided to bet everything on remote collaboration with the launch of three products.

The new Blackmagic Cloud Store It is a solution network storage with four connections Ethernet 10G and a parallel memory core that allows maximum data transfer speeds to be achieved on each of the Ethernet ports simultaneously (at 40 Gb/s). Beyond being able to store audiovisual material, it is capable of processing material recorded in Blackmagic RAW with a resolution of 12 K “without any latency.” The solution, available in versions of 20, 80 and 320 TB, has a flash memory RAID 5 High performance, has ports USB-C for ingest and backup files, it is capable of synchronizing with Dropbox and includes an output HDMI for monitors.

He Cloud Store Mini, for its part, shares the characteristics of its older brother but on a smaller scale. Again with 10G Ethernet connections, this time it structures its architecture around four M.2 flash memories in a configuration RAID 0. On this occasion, Blackmagic's solution only arrives in a format of 8 TB, which enhances its portable nature.

Finally, the Cloud Pod It is a solution that allows you to use any USB-C drive for network file storage. Again, Blackmagic's creation includes a 10G Ethernet port, Dropbox syncing, and an HDMI output for monitors. Both the Cloud Store, the Cloud Store Mini and the Cloud Pod, by the way, do not require licenses, subscriptions or tracking of user data.

HyperDeck Extreme 4K HDR

The string of new Blackmagic Design announcements is completed with the latest versions of HyperDeck, the technology's main solution in terms of recording and playback.

The new model HyperDeck Extreme 4K HDR combines the reliability of the HyperDeck line with innovations such as compression H.265, optional internal cache, three dimensional conversion tables y support for high dynamic range content. When recording images 4K in format H.265, less storage space is required. Likewise, the large size of the touch screen Allows you to see recorded material clearly and control the device. Additionally, when adding a drive HyperDeck Extreme Control, it is possible to convert it into a traditional professional recorder.

Other keys to this solution is its uninterrupted recording to two cards CFast; your connectivity Ethernet 10G to upload content remotely at high speed; or the possibility of recording directly on ProRes 422HQ, ProRes 422 y ProRes 422 LT, so that they can offer compatibility with programs such as DaVinci Resolve, Media Composer, Premiere Pro o Final Cut Pro.

HyperDeck Shuttle HD

Finally, Blackmagic Design has unveiled the model HyperDeck Shuttle HD, a new desktop recorder and player. With a simple and accessible design, it offers the possibility of processing files H.264, ProRes and DNx, with audio PCM o AAC. In addition to traditional controls, this unit features a metal rotary knob for easy image browsing, and even a built-in teleprompter. This device, which can be connected with cards SD, UHS-II y discos USB-C external devices to store and reproduce the recorded material, it boasts HDMI connections (compatible with SD, HD 720 and HD 1080 resolutions) making it the ideal complement to mixers ATEM Mini.

Beyond all these features, the HyperDeck Shuttle HD integrates the operating system Blackmagic OS, which provides the opportunity to turn it on instantly, record images, measure audio intensity, view time code and other data, configure networks and manage recording media, in addition to being available in multiple languages.
