Answers.Text: Cost is an object, but chaining HDMI to SDI converters and timecode inserters to the HyperDeck Shuttle would quickly move the system price from $340 towards $1000 as well--Thanks!

Answers.Text: @watkipet - yeah, working with unified time code usually is expensive.  Black Magic Design at least makes it a little cheaper.

Body: <p>I'd like to record presentations and lectures and then edit them after the fact. I'll use one or more camera feeds and a timecode source (either a camcorder or external source). To record the screen, I was thinking of using something like <a href="http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/hyperdeckshuttle" rel="nofollow" title="Blackmagic Hyperdeck Shuttle">the Blackmagic Hyperdeck Shuttle</a>, but I'm not stuck on this device.</p>
  
  <p>The Shuttle can record HDMI sources (great--I can record DVI or convert VGA to HDMI). However, it can only record timecode from SDI. I could convert HDMI to SDI, but then where does the timecode come from? Is there any way I can inject the timecode into my SDI stream?</p>
  
  <p>Any other totally different solutions?</p>

  I'd like to record presentations and lectures and then edit them after the fact. I'll use one or more camera feeds and a timecode source (either a camcorder or external source). To record the screen, I was thinking of using something like [the Blackmagic Hyperdeck Shuttle](http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/hyperdeckshuttle "Blackmagic Hyperdeck Shuttle"), but I'm not stuck on this device.
  
  The Shuttle can record HDMI sources (great--I can record DVI or convert VGA to HDMI). However, it can only record timecode from SDI. I could convert HDMI to SDI, but then where does the timecode come from? Is there any way I can inject the timecode into my SDI stream?
  
  Any other totally different solutions?
