My camcorder since 2007, Sony HDR-FX7E has a quality lens Carl Zeiss
20x optical zoom and attachments. It is a 1080i50 HDV camcorder that
records 1440x1080 anamorphic 4:2:0 MPEG-2 compressed 8-bit video on
mini (H)DV tape cassettes. However it has Firewire and HDMI out
ports to optional record at higher quality on disk recorders or via
capture cards.
To extend the HDV camcorder's lifespan, I bought in 2013 a
Blackmagic HyperDeck Shuttle 2 portable SSD Disk recorder with HDMI
and SDI in/out.
I did just record a few test clips with 10-bit FHD 1920x1080
uncompressed.mov and ProRes 422 HQ codecs.

The issue is now that the EOL and EOS HyperDeck Shuttle 2 seemingly
is locked by a DNxHD bug similar like it had in 2016, and doesn't
recognize any Video input. https://tinyurl.com/3fetrkp5
I did preserve a copy of the last 2015 version of the
Blackmagic_HyperDeck Setup utility for Shuttle 2, but which
unhappily is a Windows program.
I read that Wine isn't good for low-level usb communication as
needed.

Do we have other easier options on Linux that can run the setup via
usb, beyond borrowing a Windows PC?
