Since it was first released I have looked upon the Hyperdeck shuttle longingly, wishing that Blackmagic Design had given us just that little bit more.  The Shuttle for those in the dark is a very inexpensive external recorder for your SDI or HDMI equipped camcorder.  What makes the Shuttle so interesting is the price, in the UK the Shuttle sells for around £200 ex VAT.  When first released the Shuttle recorded pure 10 bit uncompressed goodness direct to SSD drives, a 64GB SSD costing around £80 would give you, wait for it, around 6-8 minutes of video.  Now, thanks to the addition of AVID DNxHD support the same 64GB drive offers you around 40 minutes of 220mb/s DNxHD recording.  The files recorded are wrapped as MXF not MOV files, much to my disappointment as a Final Cut Pro user.  Avid users should however rejoice and look forward to a smoother workflow.  The UK distributor has told us that the new firmware offering DNxHD support only works with the Shuttle Version 2.
