Blackmagic Design BMD-HYPERD/VDUP25/12G Duplicator 4K

With the Blackmagic Design BMD-HYPERD/VDUP25/12G, also called as Duplicator 4K, you can publish your live events for immediate distribution. Equipped with 25 SD card slots, SD, HD, or even UHD 4K video is possible to be recorded to  25 SD cards in real time from the 12G-SDI or Optical inputs. In order to maintain the quality, and maintaining smaller file sizes at the same time, efficient H.265 encoding is employed. SD cards are made small, inexpensive, and reusable, which make them as the logical media of choice for a compact, high-yield device such as this.

General Features

Compact Scalable Design
The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K comes featuring a realtime H.265 encoder and 25 SD card recorders that are miniaturized into a single rack unit design. The machined metal design is built durable, lightweight, and small enough to take on the road. That means you are able to duplicate content right where you're recording and sell it. The front panel comes with an LCD display for status, and professional broadcast connections such as 12G-SDI along with loop through and RS-422 deck control are on the rear so you are able to connect multiple units together inside a standard 19" rack and record more cards at the same time.

Solo Work
For the many events that require only a single camera and operator, the Duplicator 4K is capable to save time and effort. If you're working alone, you are still capable to produce multiple copies and sell content right off the bat. Simply plug the SDI output from your camera into the duplicator, start shooting and the Blackmagic Duplicator 4K will automatically start encoding and making copies. The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K recognizes the SDI start/stop commands from the camera so it automatically starts and stops recording along with the camera.

Single File Recording
The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K includes an Append Record button that lets you seamlessly combine recordings from different parts of an event into a single file. For example, if you are recording events that have natural breaks, like weddings with a ceremony and reception in different locations, the Blackmagic Duplicator 4K can automatically append the recordings all into a single file. This makes it easier for viewers to watch because they only have to play back a single movie.

Simultaneous Card Formatting
With the Blackmagic Duplicator 4K you can easily load and format all 25 cards from the front panel at the same time, rather than formatting them one at a time on your computer. At the end of the event you can take cards out as you sell them, and because the cards are re-usable, you can simply reformat and record over the unsold cards at your next event.
