Hey whats up guys,
So recently I came across Timur Civan's blogpost http://timurcivan.blogspot.com/search?q=hyperdeck about the BlackMagic HyperDeck shuttle and decided that for the price, I would pick it up.
Timur also mentioned that it might be possible to record the 5k sensor with look-around enabled but, since he has the epic now he couldn't confirm.
Well I'm pleased to confirm that you can record a clean 1080p Pro Res HQ file from the full 5K sensor with look-around enabled. You also have the option to record that signal with either RC3/RG3 or RC3/REDLOGfilm.
To enable look-around in firmware V3.3.14 go to "Settings --> Setup --> System --> Recording --> Enable Look-Around"
The only downside to having Look Around enabled is that everything on the touch screen gets really small and makes it hard to pull focus and to compose... You'll see what I mean when you enable it. You might want to monitor from a second monitor either through SDI out or HDMI out from the Shuttle to get a full view of what you are recording.
I would also recommend going SDI out from camera to SDI in to the HyperDeck Shuttle... This way you can trigger start/stop record from the camera to the shuttle.
Recording with Look Around enabled will probably be fine if you just want to use the files right out of the shuttle and finish with those files, but not ideal if you want to relink to you're R3D's.
At the the moment the shuttle does not record the pro res files with the RED naming structure. I'm pretty sure this will eventually be a firmware update. If everyone sent an email and complained BlackMagic, they might release this update sonner than later.
So how do we reconnect the files? I was searching for a few programs that would batch re-name the files to match the RED files but couldn't figure out if it was possible with the programs I tried. I came across this youtube video and followed step by step and while it's an initial pain in the ass setting up, you only have to do it once. I tried this process and it definitely works!

1. Now that you have the programs installed we need to copy the RED file names... Point to your folder where your R3D's are and press " Command A" to highlight all your .RDC folders and then " Command A" to copy"
2. Next you will need to open " Text Edit " and like the video shows in text edit preferences make sure it's set to "plain text"
3. Now with text edit open hold down " Command + Option + Shift & V " to Paste.
4. Step 3 will paste the .RDC file names to the text editor... Now in the text editor erase the ".RDC" extension
5. File save to the desktop.. name your text file whatever you want.
From here just follow the steps in the video. There might be an easier way to do this but I haven't found it. I tested this way and I know it works.
Well good luck guys... If I come across anything new, I'll update on this thread
