EXT Disk
All HyperDeck models can record directly to USB-C flash disks. These fast, high capacity
drives allow you to record video for long periods. You can then connect the flash disk to your
computer and edit directly from them!
For even higher storage capacities, you can connect a USB-C dock or external hard drive. To
connect your Blackmagic MultiDock 10G or USB-C flash disk, connect a cable from your USB-C
connected device to the 'ext disk' port on the rear panel of your HyperDeck.
