Basic operation
Cinedeck certified Batteries
On the i/o panel on the right side of the Cinedeck EXTREME, you will see the slot for the SSD media. Slide
the SSD into the slot with the SSD connectors facing towards you.
Once the Cinedeck EXTREME recognizes the SSD, media information will appear in the upper right hand
corner of the screen.
Warning: Only SSD media purchased from Cinedeck are ready to use. Other SSDs must be prepared fol-
lowing the directions on page 9 to prevent error and data loss.
Note: The Cinedeck requires high capacity, high drain batteries. The following batteries have been certi-
fied for use.
IDX: HL9, HL9S, HL10, HL10S, Endura Elite
Anton Bauer: Dionic HC & HCX
NOTE: An SSD is not included in the Cinedeck EXTREME kit. It must be purchased separately. Please con-
tact your dealer or email us at orders@cinedeck.com for more information.
