Ultimately, for cost and feature reasons I settled on a HyperDeck Studio Pro. Over the years I’ve tried quite a few recorders out there from AJA, Blackmagic, CineDeck and others. That’s where the digital recorder comes in. Unfortunately, there is no way with the DL-860 to record the files we feed it. We must pipe video into it as SDI – but how the heck do we record the final legalized video from the SDI output of the DL-860? Back in Insight 150 we took a look at using the trusty Harris DL-860 to do just this. The reason I can’t just export from my color grading app is that I need to take advantage of outboard hardware legalization. So, that workflow sounds simple enough and you’re probably thinking – “you just export from Resolve or an NLE right?” Well… not quite. Instead, I’m delivering ProRes and DNxHD files either as QuickTime or in the case of DNxHD as MXF wrapped files. While that can mean a few things – like on LTO tape, SSD or as an upload – I’m not doing nearly as many tape laybacks as I once did. I haven’t recorded with my trusty Sony 5500 HDCAM SR deck in a few months.Īlmost all of the projects I work on – both broadcast and non-broadcast – are being delivered digitally. ScopeBox as A Hardware Legalizer? Sort of. While I always knew about this functionality, it wasn’t until a recent hardware failure that I put it to the test, and I’m glad I did. In this Insight, I want to share with you another way of using ScopeBox – as a digital recorder.

In a world of high-cost hardware scopes and rasterizers, ScopeBox is an amazingly flexible and powerful tool.įactor in some specialized scope options like HML Balance, Channel Plots, a great implementation of Alexis Van Hurkman’s Hue Vectors Graticule for the Vectorscope, and ScopeLink for integrating with Adobe Creative Cloud and Final Cut Pro X, there is no doubt that if you have a Mac and an extra $99 USD, ScopeBox is a no brainer purchase. Pat, Dan and I have expressed our love of Divergent Media’s ScopeBox A LOT over the years.
