  • Page 48: Using The Optional Internal Cache

    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.
  • Page 49 To install the cache: Disconnect your HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR from the power source. You can leave other cables connected, but you may find it easier to remove them. Turn the unit upside down and unfasten the 6 screws from the cover plate to remove it. NOTE HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR ships with thermally conductive heat pads pre installed to fill the air gaps between your PCIe flash disk and the unit.

  • Page 50: Formatting The Cache

    Push the card down lightly onto the standoff mount and fasten the standoff screw. You only need to tighten enough to keep the NVMe SSD snug. Remove the protective blue film from the heat pad on the inside of the cover plate. Replace the cover plate, the screws will only line up when installed correctly.

  • Page 51: Getting Started With Hyperdeck Extreme Control

    Getting Started with HyperDeck Extreme Control HyperDeck Extreme Control is a remote control panel that lets you control up to 8 HyperDeck disk recorders or broadcast decks from a single control panel. All playback and record units are controlled via the RS-422 connections on HyperDeck Extreme Control’s rear panel.

  • Page 52: Plugging In Power

    Plugging in Power To power your HyperDeck Extreme Control, connect an IEC cable to the AC power input on the rear of the unit. You can also use the 12V DC input if you want to connect external power or redundancy via an external power supply, for example an uninterruptible power supply or external 12V battery.

  • Page 53: Hyperdeck Extreme Control Workflow

    Connecting your RS-422 Devices RS-422 connections on the rear of the HyperDeck Extreme Control allow up to 8 RS-422 enabled decks and devices to be attached from the rear or your HyperDeck recorder or broadcast deck to the RS-422 connections on the rear panel of the HyperDeck Extreme Control.

  • Page 71: Transferring Files Over A Network

    Transferring Files over a Network HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR supports file transfer via file transfer protocol, or ftp. This powerful feature lets you copy files directly from your computer to your HyperDeck via a network with the fast speeds a local network can provide. For example, you could be copying new files to a HyperDeck unit being used for playing back video on monitor walls and digital signage.

  • Page 72: Developer Information

    Transferring Files Once connected to HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR you can transfer files as you normally would with your ftp program. Most ftp applications have a drag and drop interface, but check your particular application for the appropriate method. You can also transfer any file to and from a HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR, but it’s worth noting that any files you intend to play back from the HyperDeck will need to conform to your HyperDeck’s supported codecs and resolutions.
