Using the Optional Internal Cache

The cache feature on HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR enables you to record up to 8K Ultra HD on
to a M.2 NVMe PCIe flash disk in case of problems with your media. This means you can use
slower external drives and CFast cards which in turn can be less expensive.
The cache works as short term storage, recording your video and audio to the internal M.2 PCIe
flash disk before transferring the files to your selected media in 5 second segments. These
5 second segments then make up a single continuous file on your storage media.
Once you've installed an PCIe flash disk, all future recordings will be saved to the cache prior to
your storage media. Even if you turn your HyperDeck Extreme off, any files recorded prior that
weren't transferred to a CFast card or external disk will still be there!

Choosing your M.2 NVMe PCIe Flash Disk

When choosing an M.2 NVMe PCIe flash disk for the cache, it is a good idea to keep in mind
future workflows and not just current ones. By selecting a flash disk that is capable of recording
the highest frame rates and resolutions, you can be sure you won't miss a frame, even with the
slowest CFast cards or external disks.
The following M.2 PCIe flash disk are recommended for 8K Apple Pro Res HQ up to 60 fps.

Installing The Cache

Installing a M.2 PCIe flash disk is easy and only needs to be done once. You can access the
cache location via a removable panel underneath the unit. There are four different length
M.2 PCIe flash disks you can use; 2242, 2260, 2280 & 22110. The numbers relate to the width
and length of your NVMe, so a 2242 is 22 millimeters wide by 42 millimeters long.
If needed, the standoff and screw can be
relocated to the suitable slot on the board.
