Re: Pix 240? Blackmagic Hyperdeck? What's Working well?

We used a Hyperdeck for a couple of weeks... And promptly returned it. It's not worth what you pay for it. I'll have to be hard-pressed into touching another one.

I've also used the Ki-Pros. While I have had issues with the earlier versions, the newer models seem to work well. AJA has awesome customer service.

As for the Pix240... That one gets my vote. I know NFL Network crews who are using these. As well as a couple post facilities. It's operated rather flawlessly in the dozens of times that I've used it.
Sound Devices are quite proactive in their software testing... BEFORE selling their products. Customer service is great as well.

Personally, I'm waiting on the Pix260 to be released (youthfully giggling). I'll be purchasing 4 of them.

I was planning on filling up a couple racks with blackmagic hyperdeck studios... Then a good friend slapped me. "Friends don't let friends buy hyperdecks" he said.
