TIP
HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR automatically detects the video format and frame
rate and you can see this information displayed on the touchscreen overlay.
Plugging in CFast Cards
HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR ships ready to record immediately. All you need is a formatted
CFast card!
You can format your CFast cards via the touchscreen LCD or via a computer. For more
information, see the 'preparing storage media' section later in this manual.
Using CFast Cards
The front panel features two CFast 2.0 slots for recording. CFast cards are capable
of supporting very high data rates, so are perfect for recording HD and Ultra HD Apple ProRes
and 8K H.265 files.
To insert a CFast card, slide it into the CFast card slot with the smaller socket facing upwards.
Apply gentle pressure until you feel it click into place. If the card is inserted incorrectly, you will
feel a solid resistance and the card will not seat.
Insert the CFast card with the card's small slot facing upwards
To remove a CFast card, gently push the CFast card into the slot until you feel it click, then
release. The card will eject enough for you to hold the end of the card and remove it from
the slot.
That's all there is to getting started! With the unit powered, your video source plugged in and
CFast cards formatted and inserted, you can now start recording!
Keep reading this manual to learn about all the record and playback controls on your
HyperDeck and how to change settings using the touchscreen display. You can also find
information about the connectors on the rear panel, including how to connect analog archival
video via the composite and component inputs.
