The Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio Pro 2 is a professional broadcast deck designed for reliable, high-quality video recording and playback in demanding live production and post-production environments. It combines the familiar tactile control of a traditional deck—including physical transport buttons, a jog/shuttle wheel, and a bright status display—with modern file-based recording onto removable SD, CFast, or SSD media.

This unit excels in recording broadcast-ready video files directly in editing-friendly codecs like Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHR, eliminating the need for time-consuming file transcoding and allowing for immediate use in nonlinear editing systems.

Its dual SDI inputs and outputs, supporting up to 12G-SDI for 4K and UHD workflows, provide essential flexibility for simultaneous record and playback, loop-through monitoring, and failover switching, making it a robust tool for instant replay, broadcast playback, or as a primary recorder for live events.

Built into a robust 1RU rack-mountable steel chassis, the HyperDeck Studio Pro 2 is engineered for continuous operation in fixed installations and mobile production trucks. It offers advanced features such as synchronized playback via genlock input, frame-accurate RS-422 remote control compatibility for integration with broadcast automation systems, and the ability to create standard-definition down-converted outputs from high-definition sources. By bridging the gap between traditional tape-based workflows and modern file-based media, this deck provides broadcasters, live production companies, and video professionals with a reliable, straightforward, and high-performance solution for critical recording and playback tasks.
