Pretty much all imagery shot on film should have archival value.

As time goes on and generations pass, film reels may be viewed as old school and not worth keeping, especially if the footage was previously transferred to video, however, this is moreso a rationalization than truth. If one simply looks at the amount of video being created in 2026, versus what was created on film 75 years earlier, film will retain an intrinsic, archival value. Additionally, ongoing improvements in digital video also means retransferring older films can reproduce an even higher quality resolution than when the archival film was originally transferred. I would suggest never throwing out old film, since as time goes on, the historical value of the film keeps growing by leaps and bounds. Each country in the world should have a way to archive all film material related to their country, whether they do, or don't, is another matter.

I'm interested in a basic hyper deck pro editing set-up and have a few questions.

Scenario: I create a real time talk to the camera 10 minute video for youtube. I use 2 microphones, one will be a wireless lavalier, the second will be shot gun microphone, or, the internal camera microphone. I plan on shooting 10 bit color, but, I may have to settle for 8 bit color if I choose to go with an internal, pre-designed video look. I want to avoid all software editing simply because it shuts my creative brain down.

What I envision doing next: I use two hyper deck pro units, each with its own SSD caddie. I place the camera master SD card into the first hyper deck pro unit so I can transfer the camera master to the SSD Caddie for insert editing between the two Hyper Deck Pro units.

Question #1 regarding Audio: As I real time transfer from the memory card to SSD caddie, what additional hardware only device do I need so I can select mix levels for the two camera recorded audio channels so they can be remixed together, with possible basic 10 band graphic equalizer adjustments; the newly mixed and eq'd signal would then be sent to the second Hyperdeck pro unit; or; could this first step all be done with one Hyperdeck pro unit plus an external hardware based audio mixing deck? Whatever the audio settings adjustments are, they would not need to be readjusted once the transfer has started.

Question #1 regarding Video: In the event I feel the camera master needs an overall visual adjustment involving contrast, set-up, hue, or chroma level, what additional device would I need to make an overall visual adjustment**?**

Question #1 regarding Audio / Video adjustment: Does Black Magic Design make a hardware device that would allow me to adjust both the audio EQ and level, and the multiple video levels, with the same unit? Would I presume the SD card would be inserted into the first Hyperdeck Pro unit, the signal would be adjusted in another external hardware device, and that output would be sent back to either the first hyperdeck pro, or, would it have to go the second hyper deck pro deck?

Summary: All my above questions are related to pre-editing. My goal is to have the audio and video levels optimized prior to being remastered onto the SSD Caddie, so when I then do some insert edits, from HyperDeck A, to HyperDeck B, it should be a fairly straight forward process.

Hopefully, we won't get into why not use software, since my goal is to keep the editing process super simple so I can devote my creativity to my content, and not the application being used.

Can an RS-422 video edit controller from the 90's control two present day video hard drive machines so the data on the first video hard drive machine can be re-edited in a straight cuts fashion onto the second video hard drive machine?

Ideally, the goal is to replicate a 90's era videotape editing studio, but replace the actual videotape machines with hard drive recorders.
