TIP With the optional cache feature, you can even use slower CFast cards and
external disks as the cache will continue recording even if there are problems with
your media, no matter what resolution you are recording!
Preparing Media For Recording
Preparing Media on HyperDeck Extreme
CFast Cards and storage media connected via the rear ‘ext disk’ USB-C port can be formatted
directly on the unit or via a Mac or Windows computer.
HFS+, is also known as Mac OS X Extended, and is the recommended format as it supports
‘journaling’. Data on journaled media is more likely to be recovered in the rare event that your
storage media becomes corrupted. HFS+ is natively supported by Mac. exFAT is supported
natively by Mac and Windows without needing any additional software, but does not
supportjournaling.
