User's Manual

NOTE Slower CFast cards are compatible when the optional cache is installed. This is
because the cache can accept overflow data when the card cannot keep up. However,
it might take a few minutes for the cache to finish copying to the card when recording
stops, depending on the speed of the media card.
EXT Disk
With HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR you 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 of the HyperDeck Extreme 8K HDR.
