Get Powerful Broadcast Replay With DaVinci Resolve Introducing a new generation of live action replay! Blackmagic Replay is totally unique because it uses multiple HyperDecks to record into shared storage, while DaVinci Resolve is connected to the same shared storage as a powerful playback engine. This means you can add addition record channels by connecting more HyperDeck recorders. However, the true power comes from having DaVinci Resolve handle the playback. That’s because it’s not just replay, but an extremely powerful editor with multi user collaboration features. Plus color correction, visual effects and audio post production! So now you can convert replays into promos, title sequences and instant social media updates! Load HyperDeck Files Even While Recording To start working with replay, you simply load the HyperDeck recordings into the bin. One of the reasons DaVinci Resolve can be used for replay is it can edit media files even while those files are still being recorded on disk. The viewer will automatically advance as the files grow in length, so you can scroll forward and get to the latest media being recorded. It updates fast and you can get to media recorded less than a second ago. The ‘go to end button’ lets you see the latest action. Then you can scroll and play to see your angles. There are even record indicators on the clips in the bin to show they are still being recorded. There are also record indicators in the multi-view views! Watch and Play All Your Cameras At Once Multi source is where DaVinci Resolve automatically lines up all your recordings that match in time and displays them in a multi-view. This allows you to visually browse your media and see all the angles matched in time. As the clips are all being recorded on HyperDecks at the same time, you see events all aligned in time. The best way to get aligned recordings is to connect all the HyperDecks to a switcher so they get the same timecode. Now you can see all your angles and you can select different cameras to view full screen. You can also append and insert edits from the multi source. This means you can create edits fast, all while doing replay! Let Replay Create a Social Media Revolution! Now you don't need to throw away a replay after it’s gone to air! That's because you can convert the replay into an edit timeline for posting to social media. Blackmagic Replay is more powerful than a traditional replay system because it’s built into DaVinci Resolve. This means you can load exciting camera angles into the timeline to edit, color correct and add visual effects. These edits can then be posted to social media in seconds. With Blackmagic Cloud, you can have more than one DaVinci Resolve system working on the job. Imagine every replay at a sporting event being transformed into a social media post. By creating instant social media posts, you can engage a new audience at a massive global scale! Get Started in a Few Simple Steps! DaVinci Resolve lets you do replay in a few simple steps. It can be as simple as watching the input view in the viewer and then pressing the POI button when an exciting event happens. Pressing the POI, or point of interest, button will switch you from the input view to playback media, where you can see the different camera angles you have in a multi-view. Now you just scroll back a little, select a camera and you're ready to to play by pressing the run button. While playing you can review other angles in the multi-view and play that angle to air using show sequencing. When your replay is done, press the dump button and your replay will load into the timeline. Now you can add titles and then post to social media. Build the Custom Replay System You Need! Building a high end replay system is easy as it's storage centric, where multiple HyperDecks record and DaVinci Resolve handles the playback. That lets you customize as many channels as you need. Just add extra HyperDeck recorders! That means you can build a replay system in HD, Ultra HD or even 8K. Then add more storage when you need extra space and higher speed. Plus, you can add more than one DaVinci Resolve system and they will collaborate globally using Blackmagic Cloud shared projects. Anything done on one system will automatically update on the others. Plus ATEM switchers with built in ISO recording features can also be used to do simple replay, because all the hardware is built in! Watch the Live Input and Wait For Action! Most of the time you want to watch the action and wait for an exciting event to occur so you can set it up for replay. If you are connected to Blackmagic Desktop Video hardware then selecting the input view will show a live view of the SDI or HDMI input into the DaVinci Resolve viewer. This gives you a live view without latency. A good input is a multi-view output from an ATEM switcher. Plus input view will snapshot the video input timecode when setting the POI. Once you set the POI, the viewer will change over to the multi source media and cue to the POI point as it comes in from the storage. It's almost instant! Now you're ready to scroll the media, select a camera and start the replay. Mark an Event with the Point of Interest The point of interest or POI is a very important feature that makes replay possible. The POI is like a time based bookmark and it shows up on any clip, timeline point or bin icon when there is a match to the POI time and date. It’s not a marker because its time based and not connected to any particular clip or timeline. With a POI set, DaVinci can preroll back to play a new camera angle because it knows where an event happened in time. You can also use the POI for editing using the time and camera keys. Edits using the POI will appear in the timeline centered around the POI time. So you don't need in and out points. There is also a POI indicator that shows the scroll distance from the POI. Apply Speed Changes to Playback An important part of replay is slowing the action down so viewers can see what happened in detail. The DaVinci Resolve Replay Panel has a dedicated fader control that can be used to slow down playback speed. It will slow down all playback, even when not playing to air, so there's a speed enable button to prevent you from accidentally applying a speed change! The speed change is great when doing shot sequencing because it will hold the same playback speed as you change cameras. Speed changes will also be added to replays that are added to the timeline. This means your social media post will also get the speed changes! DaVinci Resolve Studio also has AI processing for optical flow super slow motion! Built in Automation for Auto Stingers! To start working with replay, you simply load the HyperDeck recordings into the bin. One of the reasons DaVinci Resolve can be used for replay is it can edit media files even while those files are still being recorded on disk. The viewer will automatically advance as the files grow in length, so you can scroll forward and get to the latest media being recorded. It updates fast and you can get to media recorded less than a second ago. The ‘go to end button’ lets you see the latest action. Then you can scroll and play to see your angles. There are even record indicators on the clips in the bin to show they are still being recorded. There are also record indicators in the multi-view views!
