Storage Media
HyperDeck Extreme can record to CFast cards via the two front panel slots, external
storageconnected via the rear USB-C port or network storage via the Ethernet connection.
With Blackmagic MultiDock 10G, you can have 4 SSD’s connected at once!
Depending on your workflow and desired recording resolution, you may already have CFast
cards or external disks fast enough to use. For example, standard definition workflows, such
asarchiving from Digital Betacam to file, will not require the fastest media. For workflows
recording the highest resolutions, such as 8K video, media with higher write speeds is required.
When recording to network storage, using the optional internal cache is important to ensure
your recordings don’t end unexpectedly in the event of a network outage or when there is a
lot of traffic on the network. As with recording to CFast cards and external drives, the file will
record to the cache initially before being copied over to the server.
TIP The following approved media is based on recording 8K video to HyperDeck
Extreme 8K HDR without the optional cache installed.
CFast Cards
When working with high data rates it is important to carefully check the CFast card you would
like to use. This is because CFast 2.0 cards have different read and write speeds. The tables
below identify the CFast cards recommended for use.
