A storage calculator for Sumo and HyperDeck recording
A browser calculator estimates recording data rates, file sizes, and storage needs for Atomos Sumo 19 and Blackmagic HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro workflows.
- For
- Live-event and broadcast crews using Sumo or HyperDeck
- Worth noticing
- It separates SDI transport bandwidth from recording bitrate and says exact recordable formats depend on raster and frame rate.
Field notes
The interface exposes separate inputs for video and audio, including channel count, sample rate, bit depth, and encoding, alongside a configurable storage allowance. Its codec list ranges from ProRes and DNxHR to streaming-oriented H.264 presets and uncompressed formats. The page says its ProRes references use a raster-specific 29.97 fps table scaled by frame rate, and recommends a custom bitrate when an encoder setting is known.
